That’s an awesome pattern I love the combination of salt and fresh techniques! Definitely giving that a try!

Such a great pattern by a phenomenal fly tyer/designer. Some new techniques for me to learn in this one....Always excited to learn something new, especially when the payoff is something this cool!!

So good, so good. The EP blending was eye opening for me. Thank you!

Just getting into streamer tying learning lots from great folks like yourselves . Thanks for sharing

My fishing buddy is a retired Navy Seal. He will now have a new mission: rescuing the hung up fly from my bad casting. I wouldn’t want to lose all the tying effort and fish catching abilities of that fly!

Nick wray Mark was in buds class 108. Ed Winters was his first JG. I kept his bird dogs when he shipped out for Iraq and Afghanistan. I went to his wedding and retirement ceremony, so I didn’t check with Don. Glad you asked. It does piss off the guys that served.

Looks like another sweet tie dude! I'm a huge fan of the Silent Bob sculpin, cannot wait to give this one a try!

Great pattern!! Can wait to tie a few ones!! Thank you to share your knowledge!!

Rocking pattern - great job of explaining the techniques, WORTH EVERY SECOND.

Charles Loftis It’s funny. Many of those down votes happen seconds after the video is released. Haters giving downvotes like that both provide engagement for the video and prove that they are subscribed to our channel. Both of those things actually help our channel!! Joke’s on them!

Brilliant color fiber mixing! Thanks!

Thanks tons for the swim footage! Great lookin' bug, awesome techniques.

Thanks for making this so easy to follow.

Congrats Cheech, on the trophy and that awesome streamer. Great action, especially when it scoots the bottom kicking up dust, just enough flash too. Thanks!

Best Zonker pattern I have ever seen!!!! Bravo 👏👌

Hi Cheech, kudos on the fly, wow nice or what ,I always love your humor and you are a great fly tyer thanks for the post Mark

Yeah, need to get a few of these.

Love that comb gonna get one! I used a lice comb and then to fluff I used a my cat's brush b/c that is what I had. Worked great. I also recommend using CS UV Blast. Hold the spray a distance away so only the finest mist hits the fibers. It will glow like a night light and add an awesome sheen. I also used some tungsten weights I use for bass fishing. Didn't have beads that big.

Great Pattern! That`s What I`m Looking For. Thank You

Pure awesomeness! This could feasibly pass the popularity of the "baby fat". Another home run Cheech! (Gonna try congo hair as a sub until I get some ep fibers but might not be the same consistency, we'll see.)👍

I always heard "merkin" to mean, uh, something else. Great video as always!

King pattern!! Thanks for sharing

About time!!!!!!! THANKS DUDE🙌🏽

Beautiful!

I'm going to try one of these with Brandon's dubbing Loop articulated tail

like that fiber clump holder thing.

Me too, awesome idea. I'm going to make some for my fly tying club.

Very nice!! I need a few of these!!

Great pattern. thinking it will be great to modify redfish toads with this weighting method. possibly shorten and split tail.... Thanks for the ideas and great sculpin pattern.

What great pattern! Your blending method is very effective & quite in tempo with the music. :-) My guess is this fly will be excellent in saltwater, anywhere there are sculpins which is pretty much everywhere. The action in the water is very realistic. Thanks for posting this.

I haven't tied any fly in few years but I will be doing this one very soon...

When can we expect the tactical stuffed monkey fur to hit the store? 🤣😂

Have to tie this one thanks so much for your creative thinking. I was wondering how much of a pack do u use. For the beginning steps. I’ll be ordering from you guys for sure. Once again thanks

looks alive in the water. thanks.

Strait from the master. Looks like il be there tomorrow.

thank you very much very good technique ... what material is the mix

Wish a great looking sculpin. The swim test was amazing to see, I'll be tying this for sure 👊👍

Here I am tying up some toads for a Tarpon trip and this comes up , will finish the toads and go to plan B . Plan B tie some of these , if they swim like they do in the video this will be the best sculpin pattern . Might even tie some of these in white , black , and purple with a little less weight to try out on the tarpon . In the mean time go Raiders :-)

Some one needs to do a video of how to tie a very similar fly to this only on a #14 or #16 hook for trout. Pronably couldn't use the EP though.

Great fly. I find it easier to taper the rabbit strip after it's tied in and the hook clamped in the vise. kind of gives you a third hand.

Barney Ewing good trick

Amazing pattern! Wow!!! The way it moves in the water is so natural and attractive. Absolutely awesome creation and I can't wait to start working a bunch of these up. Questions: I have a bunch of large crab eyes and it looks like I could incorporate them into the tying of the EP body and prop them upward resting on top the last EP bunch. Would you recommend trying this or do you feel that its not worth the extra work and just use the black resin? Great videos and really love this one. 🤙

You did Brigham dirty 😂😂😂 Gonna chuck this at smallmouth and snakehead come June. I'll send pics. Light tan should do well.

Sean Beck bro... you have no idea. He hasn’t eaten a candy bar for years that hasn’t been broken in half by a Sasquatch.

Hey Cheech, sweet swimmin’ pattern. How do you think dubbing would do for the body? Like a sideways dubbing head. Thought it would help blend/taper into the tail but not sure of the property differences to the EP.

any idea when these would be for sale? I am looking forward to tying them but always enjoy having an example next to me when i start a new pattern!

Cody Rodrigues probably not for a year or two. It takes a long time to bring a pattern to market through a manufacturer. That being said, Fulling Mill already has samples.

Awesome fly !!!! On the tail do you color the leather with a marker or anything?

Tommy Robins no, but you certainly could do that.

Awesome tie...guess what I will me doing tonight. :-)

Kinda a mini flounder look. I see many different applications where this could get sluped up by bottom huggers

Hey Cheech. This pattern is insane. Would you say the EP Fiber 3-D "Everglade" blend (looking at your online store) is roughly the same as your custom black/brown/olive mix? Asking for a friend that tries to cut corners...

Marc Jalbert it’s very similar. It will work great!

What’s a good substitute for EP fibers? Will SLF hanks or Congo hair work. Never seen EP up close so I have no idea of its texture or thickness

Phil lays EP is similar to Congo hair

You guys should start making ep fiber in those colors and sell it or get ep to do it

I’ll bet That thing will slay em here in the south. Lots of sculpin in dees here waters for the big fellas to eat. Also go raiders. ☠️

There is a new color called “sculpin” that is really close.

How many times does that guy in the background need to use a paper slicer ?!?

you know enrico make a 3d blend where you domt have to go through the blending...also highly reccomended is Congo hair 1/8 the price twice as much product...same thing as ep fibres

@FlyFishFood

Lee Nisenholz none of the blends are how i like my colors but they work in a pinch. Also, I think Congo hair lacks the sheen that EP has.

I like the blending techniques. Reminds of a fly Steve Ferrar tied in the 90's, his baby flounder where he used tungsten powder and epoxy to weight the center belly. The movement is pretty dead on but the profile is WAY off. They aren't flat. You can see outside of the flat head they are nearly cylindrical.

How much of the entire package of EP fibers was used for each color?
