Hi from Kansas City.🎣🤠. Dave Hughes fly tyer. Wonderful pink closer. The pink color is fantastic here in the Midwest. I've been tying these with a little bit of white on the bottom with silver tensel on each side. Works great on all fish. Good luck always 🤠 Dave Hughes 🎣
Would like to see some different color variations for this fly. I've been tying buck hair clousers but I love the look of a craft fur clouser.. might have to get some materials soon..
Not "teasers" but I have tied plenty of saltwater flies. Teasers are not much different than some patterns ive tied before, they just don't have hooks. HAHA
I'm an avid UL/SUL fisherman and fly fish as well. My experience is that most flies are well under 1 g. Even if it reached 1 g, this clouser would probably be difficult to cast due to air resistance. Like McFly wrote, you can use lead eyes to get the weight up. The downside is you then have to fish the fly faster, undoing some of the benefits of using a fly. Of course clousers are often heavy flys anyway. Are you using an ajing rod? That's my guess based on the 1-9 g lure range.
@@RonMTube might be true. I fish in small streams with supricingly deep pockets so not being able to cast long and sinking wouldn't be a problem. I think tying tube flies too. That's what they use with ultra light and fly fishing setups for trout, grayling and rainbow trout where i come from. And i bought Noeby Infinite trout ul rod h5.aliexpress.com/item/32966117138.html
Bob, I cannot say whether or not that is a good rod. I have not heard of Noeby, or the rod. But if it works for you then great. I honestly couldn't tell you even if I did hear of it because its been so long since ive used conventional gear. As Ron said, most "flies" are quite light in order to cast with a fly rod. However, I do fish some rather heavy flies on occasion and throw them on a 6wt-8wt or so. They can be casted with a heavier rod setup. I suspect you could cast this with an ultralight spinning reel if you use lead eyes rather than dumbbells.
Dang McFly! You make it look so easy! I like streamers with prominent eyes like this one. What’s your take on purpose built barbless hooks vs. pinching the barb on conventional hooks? I think purpose built hook and hold better.
They do yes, for the most part. At least well made purpose built. Usually the way its shaped tend to hold on better for some reason (if its designed well). However sometimes the little nub left from The barb can help hold on as well. Personally I have a memory issue, and so occasionally I will forget to clip the barb. I try my best to use barbless when possible so I don't forget. HAHA
awesome video fella, im just starting with my 1st fly tying video. Atlantic Salmon and striped bass flies. Have you checked out the striped bass fishery on the Miramichi River ? @thenewflyfisher just posted a really great video, have a look and if your ever interested in coming here for some striped bass fishing on the fly let me know !
Thank you. No I have not fished there. Thanks for the invite. Unfortunately my travel to fishing ability is currently limited, but if I ever get the chance I’ll let ya know
