neat fly, thanks for sharing.

Just subscribed! Nice to see some originality in the tying process. I will make a few up and use them in the Tongariro River on sp[awning Rainbows. Regards from down under in NZ.

Thanks for sharing!! I’ve actually used the body quill material for the entire fly, bypassing any need for thread. It just requires very light tension on the bobbin.

That's exactly what I used to tie the fly. When I started tying them, I used thread. I quickly changed and used the body quill for the entire fly.

@cpmorris1001 2 года назад

thank you for the video. I do have a question... Why did you build the thorax out of Veevus body quill material? Why not use a thread instead?

@riverkeeperflies 2 года назад

You could easily substitute thread, Charlie. This fly is a slight variant of a different fly pattern that used pheasant tail for the body. They used body quill for the thorax and I used the same material here. The orange material is fluorescent and glows when under UV light, which I believe is a hot spot underwater. But as I said earlier, a fluorescent thread would do the same. Just create your own variant.

@williamemmons8816 8 месяцев назад

With using uv resin you don’t particularly need to whip Finnish. Just leave bobbin hanging, small drop of uv on the thorax and cure . Just curious on why you put the wing bud on the top of the jig hook shank? Wouldn’t that leave it facing down in the water?

@riverkeeperflies 8 месяцев назад

It's faster for me to just whip finish, but your approach would sure work. I've always wondered why tyers add the black wing buds on top too because the fly is designed to fish upside down. Maybe it tumbles somewhat in the water column. All I know is this fly catches fish for me at a higher rate than any other perdigon nymph wheyn I fish it in the winter months.

Tough to watch someone use scissors on wire.

@riverkeeperflies 2 года назад

Thanks for leaving a Comment. Sometimes I use the bottom portion of my scissors, other times I "helicopter" to break the wire. I've used this technique for 50 years and never cut wire with the ends. I use a small hard stone to sharpen every once in a while as well to keep them sharp. Been using these Razor scissors for many years...my favorites.
