How To Tie Jeff Hickman's Fish Taco - A Trout Spey Version

- Jeff Hickman's Fish Taco Fly is a well-known steelhead catching fly. This version is a slight variation of the original Fish Taco for Trout Spey and Skagit Fishing. www.cooperland...
Giving credit to Jeff Hickman for his innovative fly design, I scaled down the Fish Taco and used some brown Ostrich from a feather duster I found at Wal-Mart for around $7.00. Lately, this has been my go-to fly for trout spey on the Kenai, especially for skagit casting for trout! The fish taco is a lot like a trout intruder, but with only a single stage.
The original Fish Taco Steelhead Fly uses a wound hackle under body which I have substituted and scaled down for an easier tie. You will still get the same action with this skagit fly pattern.
The materials used for the Trout Spey version of Jeff Hickman's Fish Taco can be swapped out for your favorite colors. We love brown, green, white and black with some orange accents for the Fish Taco.
The Fish Taco is a simple, easy to tie and very effective fly for Trout Spey Fishing for Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden up here in Alaska. This fly will also be effective for Great Lakes Trout and Steelhead. Add the Fish Taco to your Alaska Fly patterns and you'll be glad you did!
Thank you so much for watching and Tight Lines!

Thank you so much for watching my version of Jeff Hickman's Fish Taco for Trout Spey! We really enjoy tying this one and fishing it as well! Tight lines everyone!
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you John! That really means a lot!
Digging these videos man, would love to see more action of you fishing these out on the river.
For sure! I've got a bunch more of those coming out in the coming weeks. I'll have a new fishing on this Friday as well :) Thank you again for your support!
Just started watching your vids. I really like the tying and fishing sessions you're putting on the tubes! 2 cameras, good lighting, useful narration with tips as you tie... Great work! Thanks for the info/entertainment. 👍
Oh man, that really really means a lot! Thank you so much!
Dave, Had to smile at the feather-duster, been using them for years! Recently found lambs-wool dusters that yield zonker-strips of 2 -3 inch long hair that moves beautifully in the water. The dusters come in lots of nice colors as well. Been experimenting with that pillow/toy stuffing material - its clear and very springy; mixed with a bit of Ice-dub (for color) makes an excellent support for a marabou, ostrich or fur collar. Cheers! Hank
That's awesome Hank! Isn't it funny how every day objects suddenly can look like fly tying material lol.
I think this is probably the coolest trout Spey fly I have seen! Nicely done!
Thank you so much Blake! That really means a lot and thank you for watching!
Watching your videos is a breath of fresh air,simple straight forward instructions,but very easy to understand step by step,ever thought about tying up some earth tone Squidro's ? that would be cool in smaller sizes for trout or warm water
Thank you for watching and for such kind words! I have tied them before in earth tones and they are awesome! Thanks again!!

Need a trip to Walmart for a feather duster. Thank you for the lesson
Absolutely my pleasure! I have 3 dusters now lol... all missing feathers :)
@@CooperLandingFishingGuide Haha!
I'm late to the party. Great Tie!!!
None of the videos I watched on how to tie this fly show how to tie the hook set up... Could you make a video on how to do that.?
Hey Shawn! I think there's a video on our channel that has the trailer hook setup in its own video. I'll look to see if I can find a link.
Good stuff
Do you sell any of your Spey flies?
