Hook: Tiemco 105, #6
Thread: Wapsi UTC Ultra Thread 70 Denier, Black

Dubbing: Black, SLF or Black Lifecycle Dubbing
Hackle: Hen Neck Hackle, Black
The Mop fly is a simple fly to tie but very effective at catching multiple fish species. The body is made from short chenille pieces cut from a mop, thus the name. You can get them in many different colors so you can have flies to suit many fishing applications.
Note: Updated 05-24-2019 - in the video I mentioned that the Mop material comes in one size, I have discovered I am wrong. It can be found on various "mops" in smaller sizes in case you are looking to tie a smaller fly.

The best mop fly video that I have found. Late to reply but glad I got to you finally. Tying some up in your unique way to fish here in Scotland. Tight lines. Derick.

Thank you! It seems the "mop" material in fly tying has become quite the thing in the past few years. I am glad you like this version and am curious as to how it fishes for you. - Ian Anderson

Thanks...going to tie some of these up! Love the way you set the bead!

You are welcome! It is a fun fly to tie and fish. I like the bead in the middle as it helps the presentation of the fly. - Ian Anderson

Thanks. I tied several last night for a spring trip to the Adirondacks.

Interesting pattern….I will whip some up to try! Thanks!

@DressedIrons Год назад

I have not fished it for trout but it has been a wonderful panfish fly. Glad you like the video. - Ian Anderson

I would place a chartuse bead with orange mop and vice the versa. The contrast would get any fish's attention and has been great for big King salmons

@DressedIrons 2 года назад

Funny you should mention that.... I had thought about a bright bead as kind of an egg and the mop could be like a short leech. Like a small egg sucking leech patterns. Thanks for the suggestion. - Ian Anderson

@DressedIrons 2 года назад

@@MrSurfangler Also got me to thinking.... instead of a hackle you could you some egg yarn. Kind of like a Nuke Egg Sucking Leech? A thought. - Ian Anderson

@MrSurfangler 2 года назад

@@DressedIrons , Ian, That sounds promising, I think even just the mop will catch some fish :) . As far as egg sucking leeches go I don't think the Salmon really think its a leech attached to an egg. I would tie this with a 5-6mm tungsten bead in the front the hackle, the hackle adds movement and I think the colour contrast + the movement of the fly encourage strikes. You could also have reverse hackles like a Japanese style Kebari! Kebari's are deadly the current closes the hackle at the same time when you pull a fly towads you the hackle opens up like opening and closing an umbrella. While euro-nymphing this can be achieved by going from a slack sighter to a tight one and slack again. Its a subtler form of jiggy bugger retrieve

@DressedIrons 2 года назад

@@MrSurfangler All those options sound good and would be fun to investigate. Interesting that you mention a leech attached to an egg... all the fisherman, guides and shops I have talked to around the Midwest that fish for the Kings and Cohos out of the Great lakes love the Egg Sucking Leech but all of them will tell you they have never seen or even heard of an an actual leech attached to an egg! But the fish love 'em. - Ian Anderson

@jeffcollins1857 2 года назад

Enjoyed your video and nice looking fly. With the tungsten bead half way down the shank will the fly come through the water with the hook up or down? Seems like it would be less likely to snag if swam with the hook up. I would think panfish would be all over this when they are shallow on their beds.

@DressedIrons 2 года назад

Thank you for the compliment and I am glad you like the video. The placement of the bead along the shank will still flip the hook over so the fly rides hook point up. By having it further back on the shank the fly will not "jig" quite as much when fished. It will sink more horizontal and a little slower. Panfish love this fly almost year round. It does well in shallow water with a plastic or glass bead so it lands softer and sinks even slower. However, later in the year when the fish tend to be lower in the water column and along structure the tungsten bead helps get the fly down into the zone for deeper fish. - Ian Anderson

Thanks for sharing, may I know where you get the glue applicator ?

Glad you like the video. Thanks for commenting. The applicator bottle is sold by Wapsi (amzn.to/3EMxUzy). There are a number of different ones sold on Amazon. - Ian Anderson
