Join me on my journey and subscribe to my channel to stay up to date with the latest fly-tying techniques, patterns and tips. Let's tie some flies and hook some fish together!
I can see the advantage: A long stiff throat combined with a short soft wing will greatly reduce hook-drop; also having most of the drag in line with the hook point will let the fly rock and flash more in the current. Bryant Freeman gave me a Fiery Brown with a short feather wing and a long moose throat about 20 yrs ago. He called it a 'spey variant'. But it was tied on a 3/0 Bartleet iron - so it was more of a conversation piece, I guess. Better suited for jigging cod maybe.😄
Heh Pal my Facebook went to crap some time ago and I lost most of my friends. On my way to Newfie on Sunday….staying on the west coast…like to meet up.
To prepare pheasant crest I do the following: 1) Pluck feathers 2) Boil a pot of water 3) Remove pot from heat 4) Place feathers in hot water 5) Stick feathers on neck of wine bottle to dry (lay straight) 6) Remove feathers
@@sigurdurmarolafsson4183 a bomber typically has a tail like a green machine but also a front wing. Bombers are meant to be dead drifted primarily where as a green machine is primarily fished on a swing and sub surface.
Just the video I was looking for as I get myself worked up to taking my first shot at tying a proper fly aimed at a striper. I can do that! (Maybe not so pretty or as fast, but, hey, the fish won't know that.) Thanks!
Hey Chris...neighbours are heading to the west coast/big falls towards the end of the month. Besides the Orange Bomber, White-wing Blue Charm, and the Blundertaker, what other flies would you recommend?
Those are going to cover most of your needs. But a green machine is always good (both normal and a CBC style for low water). I would also have paddy francis. A dark wing (moose) option is smart to bring too.
Not bad for a little feller from Nova Scotia. From catching poachers to catching salmon you've done alright. Some great tips here and really like the fact you didn't edit the mishaps. Like Bob Ross always said..."There are no mistakes, just happy little accidents."
@@newfoundlandflyfisher Just finished watching your Orange Bomber 2.0 video...again great tips and I see areas where I can improve on my flies. Fabulous job...look forward to seeing and learning more.
Thanks Gary! This is just how I do it. Everyone is different in one way or another. As long as they float and they get a look here and there is all that counts ;)
Rewatched. Such a great review - and I still love my jacket :-) BTW during some trips to your wonderful New Foundland I met the nicest people I have ever met
Ah man you and your darn it all perfect bombers that make mine look like I just started tying...LOL Great video and tie as always pal. Keep them coming!
