That will make a very excellent chum fly and should also work well for Chinook and possibly Coho. Based on the size of the fly it looks as though this is for swinging , which is not particularly effective for Coho. They prefer stripped flies over swung flies, not 100% but generally .I think you could also save materials and finish the fly at 6:10. Smaller variants with a smaller bead would probably work as a good Coho stripping fly in coloured up water.
Did i mention coho fly in the vid? I think i said i was tying it for the bigger salmon like chum and chinook but idk if its this one of another one that is schedules. But yes this is a fly i thought about when prepping for chum (which, there might be a video coming ;) )
If you want it to look even better after you whip finish push the cone back a bit over the head then wrap your thread in front of cone and build up the the thread till it can't move forward makes it look a lot nicer
@@THFlyFishing how are you doing was going threw messages when I saw yours again I'm the guy who told you to add thread in front of cone to keep it there wondering if you tried
@@ericluscombe3272 hey man, im surprise you came back to the vid. With the closure of chum salmon in my local area, sadly i have not been tying pattern like these with cone head simply because theres better flies for coho out there. I do planned on tying a cone head pattern soon that i will definitely tag you if i manage to make a video out of it. You can also check out my insta to see some ties that may ir may not make the youtube
The cone bead helps weight it down a bit because Marabou without weight dont sink particular well (it will sink just not well). You should have some in your box because well…. It work!!! ;)
I love to use the Aqua Veil too! Thanks for sharing!!
Theyre amazing!! I use them on quite a couple streamer. Im glad you enjoy the content!!

Oh i never even thought of that… im guessing that would secure the cone in place too (sometime it go loose on me)
@@THFlyFishing yah it's the only way i use cones now
@@ericluscombe3272 ill definitely try it out the next time

I'd love to use this for chum, if they were doing better this year. Does the cone head add much weight or is a bead better for getting deeper?
