Impressive video, took your time explaining your tying process, and I will be adding them to my box of tricks here on my VA Rivers, got both large and small mouth bass here to attack these babies!
Awesome Video! I'm going to need to get back into tying. Looks like there are some new products on the market. I've never seen the heads you used on this fly. I can't wait to give them a try. Thanks for Sharing!
Nicely presented. At your age you are very articulate and well versed.. Congratulations 👍…I’m thinking a longer fly of yours would make an excellent striper fly !!
I have not tied any lures or flies in a long time. All of my fishing tackle was stolen some years ago including all of the fly patterns I had tied. Now, I'm hoping to get my son interested so he can develop a hobby for himself as part of therapy for depression & anxiety. Fishing is one of best therapies ever! Enjoyed your video presentation of this pattern, next get some footage of how to fish this using either a fly rod or light spinning tackle.
Lefty Kreh created the deceiver in the 1950's. Same principle as your fly, it's a proven pattern and your version is nice. The grizzly lateral line is a nice detail
This may be the first streamer I try tying. Love your vids for beginners. Looks super effective for the smallies. Will a 6wt rod cast this size streamer ok for a beginner?
Hi, I hope this message goes to the Fly Fiend, regarding the white hackle used to tie the smallmouth bass predator (RU-vid video). I want to tie this fly, but I need the white hackle that you used in the video. What brand is the white hackle and where did you buy it?
Hey Tanner ! Depending What You Are Fishing River Or Lake I Would Suggest Fishing A Sinking Leader For River And Full Sink Line For Lake, If The River Is Deep You Can Fish Full Sinking Line. You Can Pick Up A Poly Sinking Leaders In Different Lengths And Sink Rate ( How Fast It Sinks ) For Fairly Cheap That Attaches Right To Your Fly Line! Hope This Helps.
Tanner Swaringen - I tie something very similar to this except i wrap the body with 0.30 lead. This helps to sink it a bit and I usually fish it with a sinking or intermediate line. When I need to get deeper, I tie a similar pattern except using the flymen baitfish heads.
Lightest id use is a 9ft 5wt, I use a 9ft 6wt and cast just fine, I use a floating WF line and most times have a intermediate poly leader, depending on water dept etc..
@@TheFlyFiend thx man, i am a total noob but i am addicted to watching fly tying vids and also trying to make some of them. i just can't cast to save my life LOL
The Fly Fiend Lucky you! 😞 mine has some but not long and narrow like that. 😕 They almost look like saddles. 😯 Where are you? 😐 If you don't mind me asking. 👍😎🍺 Really nice streamer though. :o)
personally i think it looks better without the fish mask. tie the same fly, but with tab eyes instead of the mask, it will be cheaper to tie, faster to tie, easier to tie, and fish just as well. it will push plenty of water with that lazer dub head
