In this video i will present an idea i came up not too long ago. Its bout using shiny dubbing as a wing case cover... PS:(Maybe someone else got the same idea but i havent seen it yet) Tight lines Vladimir
Great looking pheasant tail. I made some zebra midges like that with a spun CDC collar and ice wing case, the trout go crazy on them. One of my most productive flies. Love it!
Thank you so much for the pattern. I modified a bit with bead and dubbing but the rest the same. Caught three large rainbows, biggest in that river ever. All fish hit this fly as point on euro rig. Awesome!
Looks like something the fish would really like. I learn something everytime you tie a fly. Method with a purpose, I really like that. Thanks for sharing.
I just repaired two stonefly nymphs that had damaged thoraxes and wings cases with this method. I used laser dub with UV resin and it worked perfectly. These were well tied bead-head nymphs I purchased in a fly shop on the WB of the Delaware River. The hooks, abdomens and tails were still in great condition so it seemed silly to just throw them out. Thanks for the great tip. I will probably will use this wing case method on other flies.
A year ago I took up my flyfishing/flytying again after more than 20 years break from it (moved from the north of Sweden to the south back then, and in the south there's mainly put & take "fishing" which I didn't like much. These days travelling to where the natural fish habitats are). I realized that in these 20+ years the tying techniques and material variations kinda exploded compared to what I was used to. Randomly stumbled upon your channel 6-7 months ago and really like what I'm seeing, easy to follow/learn tutorials and very nice patterns. Thanks for putting in so much time to teach out your style and techniques, helps an old guy like me a lot! :)
Thank you for your kind words. I am really glad i could help. I thought Sweden would have all wild fish everywhere. I am not big fan of ponds either. Even though some places can have chalenging fish its still artificial and i dont like it at all. Good for learning and getting young fly fishers in the game.
@@Oholisfliesandfishing Yes there's plenty of wild fish in the south, but not many streams/rivers with trout/grayling/char. Here people (and also me) fishing mostly perch, pike-perch/sander and pike in lakes, which I also like, but flyfishing in rivers is more my thing, and missed it a lot.
I feel same here. I am in southern china... Rivers are slow, most places are polluted Even when we get to some streem its empty because of poaching. I can't wait to get some salmonid
That's a neat way to make a dazzling wingcase and purple is the new hot color, a double bonus! It's funny, I have bought a few different dubbing dispensers over the years, that have a dozen colors each. And I doubted that I would ever use some of the colors. Like, who would ever use purple and blue in designing trout flies? Yet, in the last couple of years I have seen many new flies that use these shades. And the trout love them! Thanks!
Thank you, glad you like it. As for colours, after I used metallic blue tinsel for a perdigon nymph long ago, and fish in low and clear water loved it.... I realised any colour will have its time.... It doesnt work always but when it does its amazing
Hvala druze. Pa pazi, lakse je raditi sa lametom... Ali ice dub presijava na vise strana.... Nije ravan plus dosta vlakana je pod drugacijim uglovima... Mozda znaci, mozda ne 😀😀
Thanks so much. No link, at least not link that works outside the China. I live in CN so i source everything here. Try aliexpress.... Leichi china or somethingike that is the name of big distributor from CN
Thank you very much. The bead is jig off bead. (counter sunk bead) I have a video about them ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Y5n36JCTcA.html
Oh, I like this fly, I really do! Still I have to ask: why? Why ice dubb the wing case of a nymph? Make sense for emergers, but for nymphs , not so sure. Again, looks great, no doubt about it
No logic other than attraction. Same as your fles. They dont resemble naturals so much but you do well with them. I was thinking if flashback works well, and it reflects some light, maybe ice dubbing will be better when it reflects more light plus i have more color options :)
Fascinating idea,, Yes, I agree I'm using more purples on flies these days. It does work. Isn't pheasant tail the most wonderful material? So many uses. :-) I just thought-that method with the UV dubbing could be used to make some fabulous tiny beetles-aqua, green and and other iridescent forms?
Thanks so much. PT is my favourite material for bodies. I have done some beetles this way. Unfortunately havent had real opportunity to test them properly
