Great looking fly. Wicked colors. Just add some dots and you'd have a watermelon slice baitfish.

This is the best fly tying video I've seen so far ..thankyou

Wow, thanks! Glad you are enjoying our content!

I generally find myself adding to much on the fly making them hard to cast because it has a tendency to make the fly what I call parachute , keeping them thinner they settle into the water faster and into a more natural look , great pattern 👍🏼

Excellent video , thanks for posting

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!

Looks awesome...great video!

Thanks for the helpful tutorial. Solid advice on keeping these patterns sparse. And then use about 1/2 of that. On my initial attempt I used too much material and packed in too many ties along the hook shank. And we'll done reducing waste. Cause they don't give those EP fibers away.

Glad you liked it!

well done! nice v-tie style. i always strive/tie for neutral boyancy & horizontal attitude. i would use stick on eyes to "lighten the load" up front and and even less resin. forgive me I'm j just crazy and obsessed about such things...

Thanks bro, nice fly.

Abe, glad you found the video helpful. That is why we're here! Tight lines

Finally a baitfish fly without a ton of folding over. I think I can do this. Do you have to use EP? Or could craft fur work?

Anybody have a link to bait fish silhouettes? My second attempt came out decent (still overdressed even though I use 1/2 the material of the first one). I think I will get the hang of how much material to use long before I do a good trim job!

where dose he get the matirials

why don't you use a brush to spread the fibers evenly before trimming?

In this situation, using your fingers works fine.

Your work is fine, but I am asking myself and asking you a question; all these filaments of more or less plastic material will end up in the water and/or in the bellies of fish. You and I and millions of Internet users would surely like to be able to enjoy many more years of the benefits of this planet. Isn't a reflection on the choice of ecological materials necessary? for reading, thank you.

you are right. there are plenty of good eco friendly materials to work with. why add more plastic to our waters? these synthetics should/could be made bio-degradable..
