How to tie the Mickey Finn bucktail streamer. This is an easy, yet effective pattern for the beginner fly tier. I've caught plenty of trout and bass on this pattern, so don't let the simplicity fool you. Give it a try.
A very informative video for a beginner. You mentioned a couple of points that I have never heard on any other Beginner video. And those 2 points, are and were ones that continually messed me up when tying. "First is Last". Thanks.
Thanks for that. The first fly that I will be tying is a Pink Eve for salmon fishing here on the west coast and it is very similar to the Mickey Finn. Great place to start.
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Maxwell Kenzo Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
This is a beautifully shot video. The quality is outstanding! I am sharing to others I know that are beginners and instructors as a prime example of a good instructional video!
+Sheila B Thanks, I appreciate that. Now that winter is here and the fishing is on hold until spring, I'll be turning out more of these between now and April.
There's no hard and fast spot on the tail where we can mark the transition based on some arbitrary measure. We have to find it by trial and error. If we pull our thread down hard and the hair splays badly, it's hollow. When you get a new tail, take a few trial clumps from top to bottom and see at what point the hair resists splaying. Once found, mark it.
