Love the guide fly patterns, quick and dirty with results! Thanks man.

Nice tie. Tied up a few, then threw on a pink bead on and called it the Avon Lady : )

I didn’t even feel like watching a another fly tying video. But you seem so cool. So I did. And I’m glad I did. Have a great day.

Thanks for pattern. It was my best fly on the less than pristine water of the Chama. I omitted the wing and it worked fine. Game changer for dirty water!

@AboutTrout 3 года назад

Happy it worked ! An absolutely chama killer .

Nice tie. Now that Bear Creek in town is starting to rise and change color this should be the ticket! I like to say that even tho fish have pea-size brains, they sure get the most out of 'em!

@brandonknotts8636 2 года назад

Nice tie. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I recommend trying a pink squirrel if you haven't already. Another simple and quick tie that produces time and time again. I don't think there is a fly box that doesn't have a few of them here in the driftless.

@@AboutTrout what is the right size thread for tying flies . I have same d54 it comes on a wooden spool it seems kind of thin

@JamesBlake3 4 года назад

Tie a fly made of regular household materials. The "Beardo" was hilarious, now make one from something found in your garage or from the kitchen? Then I foresee a fishing challenge with your new flies. Feel free to challenge others...like @Huge Fly Fisherman and see who's fly is better!

Great video! Just started tying and am struggling with getting the proportions right. Any suggestions for building a nice tapered body?

@AboutTrout 4 года назад

Roll the dubbing tighter in the beginning and gradually loosen it . Should give you a better taper

@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy Год назад

Provo river fish wont eat it if its a size 16 or larger, if there are 14 fibers on one side and 15 on the other, and if its not fished on 10x tippet...I hate this river...

@ColorfulCOFlyFishing 4 года назад

Can you tie this on a 9x long 0/4 sz streamer hook ??? 😂 no realy I don’t have any tying hooks...😔

@AboutTrout 4 года назад

10x 5/0 is the way

@fredleroux6920 3 года назад

Thank you for cool video Are there any other dirty water patterns you recommend ?

@AboutTrout 3 года назад

I like stuff with pops of color but also the “quilldagon” has been a good dirty water fly. Generally though your favorite patterns with a white or FL. Orange bead.

@User-es2yz 3 года назад

Do you ever lose dropper flies when fishing a barbless anchor? I always thought that hoppers should have barbs so the dropper doesn’t slide off, but in theory it shouldn’t matter if there is tension on the line, as the line would stay in the bend of the hook. I am just concerned that a nymph would come off behind another barbless nymph.

@AboutTrout 3 года назад

I rig off tags when nymphing so it’s not an issue . You’ll be good with a clinch to the bend of a barbless hopper . Hope that helps .

@rgonzales9382 3 года назад

@@AboutTrout would you sell any of them. I fish the Chama at Coopers, or a couple miles back from the dam by Abiquiu. I just recently started fishing the Rio over by John Dunn or on the lower level by Pilar. The guys at Reel Life and Taos fly shop got me a few patterns to throw. I’d like to try these out too especially in Jemez. I’ve been fishing that and it’s doing producing a lot of fish. Didn’t realize below the day area holds a large amount of fish.

@AboutTrout 3 года назад

I don’t sell any flies , but the “milk man” is a FullingMill pattern . Any FullingMill dealer should be able to get it for you.

@rgonzales9382 3 года назад

@@AboutTrout I found two of them in my fly box. I had picked up 2 dozen flies from Red River Angler a couple weeks ago. I tried them out today in the Jemez. Sweet fly for sure
