Fly Tying: BULKhead Allspark - Musky Fly

The Bulkhead Allspark is a great downsized single hooked Musky Fly with an abrupt head and tubular profile to match Suckers and Chub Species. The sparse synthetic nature of the fly makes is ideal to cast all day when banging the banks and the synthetic Bulkhead allows for the prime silhouette and elegant movement without an overly buoyant head, helping the fly fish immediately upon hitting the water. Unlike my Original Allspark, this fly is done without the use of Dubbing Brushes, hopefully making this fly and style of fly more accessible to the average tier.

    The new angle is the way to go. And it's always nice to see the fly in the water. I'm gonna tie this with a 7" brush on a tube. Keep up the good work.

    I prefer traditional. It is more personal vs instructional. In this video I have a voice and a fly happening with hands flashing away. With traditional I have you, facial expressions, hand gestures - communicating with me. I’m in your house.

    Really appreciate the feedback Derrick! I think for future vids I'll do my best to run two cameras and switch between the two. Keep me updated when they are released. Keeping it personable is the most important to me!

    Outstanding tutorial Gunnar. I like the camera angle because we can see the prep work. The only downside is the tying light creates a "white out" at times. Thanks for experimenting.

    Gunnar- nice fly man. Keep it up- keep trying new things. Can't wait for the Fall release lol. Do you have a schedule in mind? I think you should pick 1 day to drop them, and do a live video Q&A sometime via IG or KZread.

    I really like the new camera angle. Have the idea of two cameras with multiple angles crossed your mind? I think when you film infront of you ( how u usually film ) it's better focused. But this was not bad. I would love a dual setup 🤭 But really happy that you share all your knowledge.

    Beautiful tie! Ever did an Allspark with ripple ice fiber? The new camera angle is awesome! You seem to have an audio disturbance when using the front view tho.

    Hey there. I just ordered a vice and I’d like to get into making some small mouth streamers. Can you recommend a style you make that would be affordable to get started? I was thinking maybe fuzz jr. how many with the ep foxy brush make? I see saddle hackles like you used are $60, that’s too much to get started.

    How do you pack these large profile flies when your out fishing? Would be a terrible to flatten the nice loft you’ve built in.

    Great stuff Gunnar. You've got a great eye for colors and layering of textures. This one is mostly synthetic, the hollow body BULKhead you did a video on is mostly natural/bucktail. Does that change how they fish? Any big differences in action?

    Hey Adam, The major differences is that the natural flies "breathe". The reason to tie synthetic versions is that high quality natural materials are hard to come by. Finding perfect 5" long hair for hollow tying and coarse thick hollow hair for bulkhead tying is hard to come by. But, with a synthetic version, I can still generate the same silhouette, or overall action...say a Jerk fly, or a Water Push fly...but synthetic flies tend not to have the same "Pulse". The flies still swim, but they don't have that "movement without moving" quality. Natural materials just swim even if you don't animate the fly, but synthetics need you to tell them what to do.

    Dude yes. Get it down to the depth you need. Add weight to the spine of fish by using heavier hardware.
