Last summer I make a mirror flash wing Sunray , all kind of colors I have of mirror flash I tying on the wing ! And then body i covered with Pearl Mylar Tube , to prepare to glacier colored river in Iceland called Blandá , I don’t need wait so much to hook a fish!
Good that you are covering this recently fashioned patterns as well. I tied and fished the flash wings last year quite a bit and tried to convert some of the famous classics to flash wings. I must say among all those classics, Pahtakorva turned an amazing fly and effective. My experience is that the bucktail is the ''must-have-material'' for these flashwings. It really forms the fly and hold it as designed. Would be nice to cover Pahtakorva flashwing especially with a few strands of the black charcoal flash on top. Thanks for the video - Majid
Again a pleasure to watch plus an inspiration of the own flytying! Thank you so much for that. On the otherside, it‘s a bit nerve wracking to get inspired by Michael‘s tying ideas, but the mentioned products Flashwing Flash and the stiff Antron underlayer is not ready available to buy, except in the packs and in colors II do not looking for. Why do you show tying receipts short before Salmon Season start without having the materials ready available, so we can buy and use it? Tight-lines, Steve
Hi Steve, well maybe i shouldn't but in a way its like letting you guys be part of the development of new tying stuff. Sure it would be more commercial to let out things when the film appears but I think more fun to share the process how things actually come up. I can tell you that the SSS Flash Wing Flash is in boxes on the way to us and be out in a news letter shortly!
Nice fly👍 A question for Micke: how this fly keeps tail in upright position? Body is loose in back of btt on leader. I think it is going to be in whatever position and harms the swimming of the fly not being in right position.🤔 Am I wrong?🫡
Well - the toughts are right but I think its a small problem. maybe because the loose body goes into the BTT/TTT and is effected by the turbulence the current creates. One thing - the shorter body the better and on BTT - the lighterthe hook the better!
