What type of resin do you use? I’ve been trying spoons for the last 2 seasons and my resin either gets really sticky and hazy or it flakes off then it’s to light to sing and work properly
@@michaelbacile8439 I use Loon Outdoors UV Clear Fly Finish. It’s expensive but great. I have a UV light bulb in a shop light and I let my resin flies cure for like 30+ min to make sure the resin isn’t sticky. How long do you have the up light on your resin?
Ahh maybe I’ll have to do that then. I’ve got loon too but I haven’t let it cure that long. Maybe 5 mins. I’ll try to let it sit longer next batch and see how she does. Thanks for the reply!
@@JHducks I go to the men’s shaving section in Walgreens and pick the double sided shaving blades. I’ll snap them in half and use one of the edges. I typically use my scissors a lot more than the razor though… which is why my llanolope flies aren’t very crisp 😂. Mine are sloppy but still effective.
@@marylandangler it’s been a while since I posted this video but I think it’s just a normal brown chenille. If you look at my instagram, I usually write all of the materials in the description. For YT shorts, I’m only allowed 100 characters on each post.
@flytyingtex dang man that's wild! Well you're gonna really enjoy it. You gotta hop in too! It's always 72° F in the water. So clear and refreshing. Hell, I think I need to take a trip down there myself now!
@@Gman_308 ha. Small world. I’m trying my best to find a pumpkin seed to join my Sunfish. I’d also love a Guadalupe bass or war mouth. I used to have Rio Grand Cichlids but they constantly tore up all of the plants.
Might need to add some weight to the fly to cast it anywhere but that is possible. I have a few flies that I tie for my TFO light weight rod which is meant for trout and panfishing.
I experimented with both. I think the head backwards looks more like a mouse to the fisherman, but the foam head w the lip facing outward moves way more water and to me that was more important. Still, both will definitely work.
hahah is it really!? Oh man I assumed it was meant to look like fake fox hair as in a play on words, but really it literally means imitating fur. One more great little forever on the internet mistake lol. Thanks for pointing it out!
@@kadencesmith3623 Thanks for the feedback! I haven't made as much effort on my youtube videos as I have on my Instagram content. When you add the music, you have to do it inside the app which means it is an extra step after I have already edited, voiced over, added text, and resized the framing of the video. What I have been doing for a while now is just editing everything in Cap Cut and then uploading that same video to all of my social media platforms and then calling it a day.
It’s more buoyant than deer hair but less resilient. It gets torn to bits by toothy fish or after a long day of catching a lot of fish, the hair will get pretty frazzled and then you can go back in w a razor blade and reshape it. I love it bc it lands really lightly on the water.
I’m tying them right now as I respond to your comment. If you look my Instagram up @flytyingtex I post smaller photos of the flies that I tie almost every day. Right now, as you can imagine, I’m tying a ton of antelope hair flies.
I have used flies like this for bass, catfish, carp, drum and trout. An absolute wonderful fly in black, brown, tan and olive. You can use this one fly pattern, in a couple of different colors and catch fish on it a full twelve months!
