Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it

Tied some of these for a trip to Baja. When the dorado were on they would eat anything but I did catch quite a few on these including a truly grande dorado. Thanks for the video.

Glad you had a good trip, those dorado are some of my favorite fish to catch, so acrobatic!

Shawn, you just keep upping yourself, and what an asset you are to the fly tying community. Another spectacular video on how to. Blessings

Thanks! It isn’t my pattern, just tied it for someone that requested it, but for sure. Half and half’s are great, and hard to beat the bright electric chicken colors sometimes!

Just curious about your eastern sierra fly fishing trip. Were you able to go as planned?

@@randy71646 Hi. Yes, and it was great! The gorge had an all day BWO hatch and you could hook up just about every cast on #20 dry fly imitations on 8-12” browns and rainbows. The upper Owens both close to Crowley and upstream in the meadow were OK with several browns on perdigon nymphs tight lining right on the bottom. The creek above Rovana was as low as I have ever seen but lots of 6-8” wild trout there fishing a #18 pheasant tail with a split shot above it. Just for fun we hit the private trout ponds at Tom’s Place and nailed rainbows up to five lb. The gent that owns it is a very cool dude and actually netted a couple trout for me. That was about all on the fishing. I wanted to hit North Lake around dusk to give the mosquitos a nice dinner but also to fish dry flies for the wild browns and cutthroat that hide in the tules close to shore. The water in that lake is crystal clear and you can follow the trout as they go for your fly.. Just ran out of time and energy and missed that opportunity. Hopefully back there in September. Thanks for asking!

Awesome tie! Can’t wait to use this in the river

Thanks! And yeah good luck man! For smallmouth, Id recommend a B10S hook and a little smaller. The B10S is a thinner wire and will give better hook set penetration. And really they don't need these stout saltwater rated hooks.

Nice one! I think I can already see that in the jaw of a big mean saltwater fish. That Electric chicken is a good colour in the salt, also is in soft plastics for that matter.

Good video bro, God bless you, to me the bucktail is the best material for tying.

@McFlyAngler

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you, God bless you as well. And yeah, bucktail is a great material. Hard to say its the "best" as there are so many great materials out there, but for this specific fly, there aren't really any substitutes for sure. I mean, craft fur I guess, and some others could work. but in my opinion it would change the action and the way the fly fishes. Could be a good change depending on your uses, but hard to beat natural materials.

Yeesh, those hooks look like they wouldn't break for nothing, lol!! Heard the SL-12s are some of the strongest fly tying hooks available but those look pretty damn tough too! But in fairness most hooks in 3/0 look damn near indestructible, lol!

@McFlyAngler

Yeah these are pretty strong, no not like the sl-12. But still strong. And there are some 3/0 hooks that would bend on some bigger fish. So always be careful to use strong hooks

Clouser?

Yeah, it’s a half and half. Half clouser half deceiver technically. It’s not really a clouser, more a variant of it. Called the half and half. It’s been around for quite some time.
