Thanks! Glad you like it.

I tie a similar version in 3 different sizes with and without the conehead. The weightless version other than a few lead wire wraps is my favorite for most of the waters that I fish. Great tie, a must have for any fish under any situation, so effective that if I don't have any in the box my chances of getting a skunk are much higher, lol.

+redshaftedflicker it’s a good one for sure! Been using this for a long time. I think slump busters though are my biggest producer, but these are awesome as well! :)

Just great! Will definitely try to do and catch. Thank you very much!

Thanks! Btw, if your gonna fish some larger fish, double up that mono when tying in. It will help keep it from slipping.

That's pretty much the exact fly I'm looking for to fish a particular Northern California watershed this Fall. Poifect! Like the "Peanuts" piano background music too!

Thanks! I wouldnt say its the "best" fly, but probably the most versatile for sure! Conditions change 24/7 so sometimes a fly might work better than a bugger, but I will say there aren't many situations that a bugger wouldnt work.

This is why I like your tying videos s I've kina kicked around a similar idea before, just never tied any up. What's the purpose of the beads exactly? Is it just to help keep the rear hook right? I wonder if their is a small enough tubing or something to keep the weight down at that point so the fly would not be so back heavy and tracking flatter or more head down?

@McFlyAngler

7 жыл бұрын

The beads help stiffen the mono, so it doesn't foul up. Extends the hook back a bit, and keeps it more stiff. Just a spacer really. You could use any bead, plastic craft beads that kids use to make bracelets work as well.

That looks really good... i going to try that. you earned a sub from me.

Nice never seen an articulated one made before. I'm looking to start fly tying myself when I can get the gear. Can you do a video of techniques such as the whip finish. Or even a simple dry fly or hopper fly for a beginner to try?

@McFlyAngler

7 жыл бұрын

Glad you liked it. As for the whip finish, yeah! I will try to do that soon. Good suggestion. I have a few playlists already with techniques. Such as attaching dumbbell eyes, or choosing the right hackle etc... I also have a playlist for "simple" flies. None of which are dry flies though. I as you might have noticed don't do a lot of dries. I mostly am into streamers for tying. Something I brought with me from fishing saltwater for many years. If you are interested in some simple streamers, check that playlist out as well. I don't know of many "simple" hoppers, but I did a midge dry once, that was pretty simple. However being a midge, you are tying on a very small hook, so that kinda stops the "simplicity" of it. HAHA Anything becomes difficult on a size 28 hook.

+Jack Dillon well I haven't fished Tasmania, but here a wooly bugger and slump buster are two streamers I always carry on me... easy to tie, and effective

you might be able to get a better tie in with the mono loop if you burn the ends, it will make a ball bump that wont slide through the thread wraps,

Which cone head did you use ? Your description in the video says 5mm, but the parts list says 4mm

@McFlyAngler

6 жыл бұрын

Sorry... Probably the voice over is more accurate. I write up the parts list after I edit the video, during the time of upload, which sometimes is a day or two after tying the fly/editing the video. I probably used 5mm. But use whatever size will fit over the hook you are using. I usually like going smaller than larger, so the smallest that will fit.

McFly Angler, I may have a solution for your problem with the amount of hours you spend on your channel. I stead of making several videos a week, just make one. At the end of each week you could make a video that has multiple segments such as a channel update, fly of the week, etc. This might give you more time to work, rest and help with the baby girl but still get your viewers the content that they desire. Great video

+Dylan Smothermon thank you... and most of the videos are quick, it's the fishing videos that take forever... lots of hours of filming to look through... I might lessen the fishing vids to only once or twice a month... fly tying vids take just a coupe of hours... and the update vids are even less.. also, KZread cuts down view exposure for channels with less videos..

u did the hackle backwards my man..ur supposed to tie in the hackle tip first then your wire then your chenille. then u wrap your chenille forward then your hackle forward to the eye and secure then u counter wrap your wire forward to the cone.. then whip finish... it makes way more sense and its is WAY more secure/ durable.. hate to say it but wire alone isn't gunna keep teeth from ripping it free of four wire wraps!
