Mono legs are my preference and indescribable. The tie is awesome, thanks! A carp killer for sure.
Awesome tie Jake! Lead free is very cool. Thanks for sharing all.
I tie one quite similar to yours and have been using it on Trout for years. There is something about the black and white or light color that really gets the Trout to strike.Good looking fly there.
Looks good i actually hust tued a bunch of these up for my ice fishing trip next week they work great i like how u did your feet i may try that next time
They work awesome! and thank you let me know how it works out for you!
This is a great looking fly can't wait to try it and use it
nice tie. I liked how you made the legs.
Thanks Ed!
I believe the lateral dark markings you're referring to are Chloride epithelials 👍 Think I'll give this pattern a try for this ice season.
Thank you!
Nice pattern. Like the legs 👍 Lots of possibilities with that body and different colors for the underbody, cool blood line with red or glow in the dark thread. So you fish these "neat", no bait? You mentioned a "parallel" presentation, you mean horizontal or parallel to the bottom, right? Do you tie a speacial knot for that? Anything I hang in the water goes to vertical, unless it's a balanced fly (like Phil Rowley's) or a small lead head jig with the knot cinched down to the back of the eye.
You tie excellent stuff, thanks again, merry Christmas to you and yours! 👍🎅🌲⛄ Maybe Santa will bring lasting & safe ice this year, take care out there.
yea they are great ice flying hooks I have used transparency body allowing the rea thread to sow throw too have put a piece of the body skin with glow in the dark paint on it tie that on top1/8 or smaller strip them I do the rest of the fly perch here love to go out and catch and release the fish I do get a dirty look when I put them back in for a trail gate lunch I well have a couple of the perch that all I will take why to waste the fish if you're not going to eat it you're landed up throwing it out
I do tie them in many colors now I have a lot of them tied up did have it one fly box for them.
you say you fish them upside down exit time your feet in on top of the fly to does give the fly a dead look to I had tied this hook back on the hook too does give the hook a different appearance to fish with it especially if you using bait with it
A yellow underbody might give it that pale cream look.
Rob Rosario Yes It May! Didnt Think Of That, Thank You!
A zebra midge in size fourteen is also a good choice I catch lots of perch on Lake Erie
Beauty! Ill Have To Tie A Few Up! Thanks For Watching!
Looks great! I think it would fish just as well in open water. Only question, if the fly was to ride like you said, then the legs would point to the sky, is that true?
Chris Sinclair Yupp! Doesn't Bother Me, They Still Eat It No Question, I Jig It So I Think They Think Its Just Falling And Tumbling .
I love this bug for I've fishing. Not to criticize, but I really like uv resin on the back half.
Very nice job.
Neil MacDonald Thanks!
If I wanted to do this with a barbed hook what hook would/should I get????????
I never worry about hooks or colours of material. I find a pattern I like and tie them on any hook I prefer using, using whatever colours I like. I tied a VERY similar fly, a "maggot" looking or wax worm, but instead of the skin he used, I used surgical glove (cut into 1/8" strips), then coated it with a clear UV finish. Looks like a real maggot... my point is... improvise
I like this one. I'll give it a try in Iron County this weekend.
How do you secure the bead from rotating/sliding?
I Usually Just Put A Small Thread Dam Behind It And I Don't Have Any Issues.
thanks
Where do I get this latex material? I don't think I've seen it at my local Sportsmans
Nate Thompson Anywhere You Can Get Hareline Thats Who Carry It, Most Fly Shops Will Deal With Hareline Dubbing Its A Distribution Of Most Fly Materials .
@@TheFlyFiend Whats the name of the material?
Ice Fishing Killeys Nymph Skin Natural Latex
Hi, if you are looking for fly tying material there are two places I always check out. One is a haberdashery shop and the other is the 2$ Shop or equivalent where I can find ribbons, nail polish bits and pieces and packets of latex rubber balloons. I cut the balloons into strips and tye them as if I was using the expensive stuff made especially for anglers! Try it, its worked for me for years. Harera..
Looks very good, very buggy. But not a waxworm.
