The Midnight Intruder Stonefly Fly Tying Tutorial | The Fly Fiend. 

Thanks!

patrick smith Thank You! I Actually Caught A Steelhead On It Tonight!

Thank you!

Mine is flat too, it takes time and feel with tension to get how you want it to look. Keep practicing and you will get the results you want with time. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!

raymond lilley Hey Raymond, Its A Coffee Grinder Works Really Well!

The Fly Fiend if you wouldn’t mind could you tell me what name of the grinder and maybe do a video on how to make your own dubbing material

just get any coffee grinder, throw some dubbing mixes in and grinnd away. you learn as you go.

Coffee grinder just mixes it, won't chop it up, you need to do that before putting it into the grinder

Mark Bolivar so with your comments, where is your stone fly ? Easy to be negative, you claim you tie better stones. I am not a fan of loon resins, Solarez is my preference. I have not had any of the problems you described. Depending on the waters you fish stones come in many varieties.

@@williamemmons8816 Theres about 5X too much dubbing. I'll save you some time... fish dont each furballs. I invite you to drop your fly in a glass of water and observe the UV coating under a magnifying glass. It cures to a cloudy color. And usually after a fish ...the tooth puncture it and its junk. I prefer varnish...

Mark Bolivar first off not my fly, second I have only had issues with loon products , never with solarez. And after your negative opinions I still don’t see your supposed superior version . Last I have had trout try to eat yarn , styrofoam and bubble style indicators . So far you are all talk.

@@williamemmons8816 I'm just saying a fly with that much body will never catch fish. And if you use about 5X less, you would have a better chance at catching fish. I prefer to create flies using materials that attract fish... I'm not talking attractor patterns... but materials. There are some magic materials out there that are flashy. But this guy and you if you think this fly is a fish catcher... need to understand why a sparsely tied fly is more buggy. My flies are secret... I have spent years pulling flies out of trees, finding flies in fishes mouths, found flies caught in the rocks, spent time being persistent and pushy trying to catch a glimpse of what another guy was using, been on the water and met people who have shared patterns, guides have shown me patterns, and some pretty good ones in books or magazines. I would never share any magic fly I use. If everyone was using my flies then it would be harder for me to catch them using my flies. That guy you see catching fish and you wonder what he's using... it's me. I have easily 2 dozen different proven patterns that I catch tons of fish. Not those hatchery fish that hit strike indicators... I'm a steelhead fisherman. I only use stoneflies to fish steelhead... because they love stoneflies.

Mark Bolivar I fish Eastern brook trout and landlocked salmon , no steelhead in my state. We also have browns and rainbows. Either way I not the watching someone else catch. I laugh at your secret fly reference. I have my share of preferred flies , someone asks I am likely to give them a few. Mostly fish the Northwoods and western part of our state. I would rather encourage others by sharing. Try it sometime, the joy on the face of another flyfishers learning something new and succeeding.
