Videos covering Fly Tying and Fly Fishing.
Hosted by Myself, Carl Nixon. Multi Capped England International and current Rivers Team Manager and Team Member.
Hopefully I can convey some simple and moderately complex patterns and tying tips to help you improve and ultimately make fly tying easier for you.
A large portion of my recent years has been involved in Competition Fishing, from England Youth Coach, Scottish Disabled Team Coach. Change Fly Fishers, Iain Barr Fly Fishers and a few teams in between all the while being involved in England Lochstyle and more recently, the England Rivers Team.
The majority of my patterns are based on successful, match winning flies, some will be direct originals, some will be variants updated with new fly tying materials.
In time I will endeavor to show you a window into my time on the bank, stood in a river and floating around lochstyle on a boat.

Cracking quill cruncher Carl 🐟🎣

your a cheat its disgusting you posting on here!
Hello,thanks for good fly and recipe!
0Great variation from the original, I can't wait to tie-up some, MSG Leum
Very nice tie, thank you MSG Leum
Hi great videos, can you tell me who’s old gold tinsel you use or if not available a replacement. Thanks
Nice buzzer pattern need to buy so of that magic quill 🐟🎣🤔
Cracking stuff. Subscribed 😎👍
Great tip re: bending the deer's hair to help get it laying better at a lower angle ...thanks for sharing
Hi There I’m looking to purchase half a dozen of this fly but can’t find anywhere to buy from. Do you sell these? As I am interested. I don’t tie flies. Regards Bob.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
I am looking for a snail pattern and how to fish it. I am picking up fish with loads of snail in them so it is obviously a major food item , but how do fish it?
Those fat hands of yours make easy work of tying this! Bang on pal
Tied some of these on Thursday night, landed 4 lost 1 and missed a few yesterday on them. The 4 I landed I reckoned would have weighed close to 15 lbs, the best was a 5 pounder. All strong fish. Cheers.
That's a fantastic step by step buddy 👏 👍 👌. Is there a link to your eyes please. Love the whole video.
Nice neat tying Sir. Cheers
Thanks for the tips man looking forward to checking out some more of your videos 🤟🤟🤟
What's the vice friend...
LAW Waldron Bench
How would you fish this
Hi Carl what’s the best retreave and lines to use with this pattern please?
Brilliant, I'll give that one a go.👍
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Grayson Beckett instablaster =)
@Douglas Dorian Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Douglas Dorian it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Grayson Beckett you are welcome :)
lovely tying
Brilliant sir
Great fly really good tying 👍👌
Hi Carl, the original buzzer from Curly was tied on a B175 using black PT as body and thorax cover with a natural PT thorax. I remember Curly giving me one of the buzzers way back in the 90's when fishing on Rutland.
Very simple way of tying a yellow owl it normally has quills and has resin added the blackened thread is handy how effective do you find it?
Hi Carl. Would these work on small waters. I know last week people were catching on size 18/16 sedges at Coldingham
Hi Gary, Yes mate, perfect shape for sedge feeders I would say.
Hi. Have u done a pattern for a standard midas. Bought a few and tried. Work well . Was hoping to learn how to make them as well as what materials. I am learning to fly tie.
When you say flatten your thread how exactly do you do that
Hi Michael, Spin your thread counter clockwise, this takes the twist out of the thread, making it flat. Cheers for watching
What kind of wax is used? It look like the wax from a french cheese😀
+icedaft Hi Icedaft... Well spotted! The wax is from a Babybell cheese round. Not as tacky as soft beeswax but not as hard as cobblers wax Thanks for watching!
@@CarlNixonFlyFishingFlyTying nice idea😁
Is this pattern for rivers only?
+Trevor Luft Hi Trevor, The base of the pattern is a highly used fly on the rivers, the F Fly is a great Grayling Pattern. I use it in size 12,14,16 for Lakes and Smallwaters.... Cheers for watching..
What was the wax you used please?
Hi David, Its wax from the mini cheeses, Babybell. It remains soft but isn't as tacky as conventional soft wax. Its a great medium and also handy if you like Cheese 🤣
Carl Nixon Fly Fishing & Fly Tying That I like and yes I have subscribed. DW
Nice fly Carl. Do you tie any snail patterns?
+David Willacy Hi David, Most "snail feeders" are caught using cruncher style patterns. I've a UV version that does well, I will getvir filmed and posted for next week. Cheers for watching... hope you subscribed 😉😁
Carl Nixon Fly Fishing & Fly Tying Cheers bud, looking forward to that. DW
Hi. It looks a fantastic pattern. Plus well tied that man.im a enthusiastic novice to tying. I will get to some patterns like this once I get all the techniques nailed.
Thanks for watching! Plenty of videos here for you. If there's anything you'd like to see. Just let me know.
Excelent!
Resin ??
Ohhhh yes.... love the stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤔
Nice one going to try this thanks 😊👍
Definitely worth a go mate, works very well on subsurface feeders Cheers for watching!
Love it, subbed
Cheers! And Cheers for watching! If there's any flies you'd like to see, just let me know.
Class Carl as always
Cheers Barry. Thanks for watching!
Never fished a muskins how do you like to fish this pattern Carl?
Hi Trev, Fish them in place of your usual nymphs, works well at Sharpley and Knitsley for me. Cheers for watching.
Braw flee big fella 🎣👌👌
Thanks Barry, Cheers for watching too pal! Hope you're all well up there?
All good up here pal
Nice tying as always. Not one I have ever tied myself , but might try it. Did get that C&F bobbin though and your right top quality piece of kit. 👍
+starsky arsky Its a immense pattern mate! lethal on its day and can bring up pressured fish with ease in fast water. Glad you got the Bobbin.
Nice tidy tying. Cracking looking fly....
+d3m0ndancer Thanks pal, Thanks for watching
Very attractive pattern, similar to a viva l like what you did with the throat good job 👍
+dongil123 Thanks Dongil123! Thank You for watching.
Carl do you have any experience of knitsley? Fishing it Sunday thank.
+Trevor Luft Hi Trevor, Missed your comment! I usually time my visits for perfect dries conditions.... so other than fish dries, I'm of no use this time 🤣
How do you fish this pattern Carl?
+Trevor Luft Just fish them in place of your Diawls or other Nymphs mate. An added bonus is, when fishing these, you can allow them to sit for a split second on the surface, always pick up a bonus fish with them. Washing Line, Straight Through.... also great as droppers between Blob & Booby
Lovely tying Carl, I like the profile of this wee beasty, will give this a go. Cheers jimf
+Jim Flynn Thanks, Jim. The short nature of the body dubbing allows a tight body to form and create a great profile. Thanks for watching.
Great fly again sir. I notice you use C&F bobbin, I was contemplating on buying one. Would you recommend them? As they are pretty pricey.
Yes mate, brilliant And aye, they are pricey, but worth it. I've a few. Sometimes one pops up on ebay, second hand
Hi there nice LDO and mice fur looks a good sub for Hares Lug,but man oh man what a W haste of tying silk at the start ,a wee piece held tight at tie in is plenty eh .Tight Scots man ha ha ha
+Andrew Webster You would pass out looking at my carpet then, loads of strands like that.... hahaha... its actually a lot when you look at it closely.... 😆 Thanks for watching! 👍🎣
True to your word mate, do you use cdcs with this leader? Is it just for targeting fish? To not give time for the flourocarbon to sink your flies?
Hey Trevor, Took me a few "takes" but got there in the end. You will be surprised how long CDC, and None CDC patterns will float even while using flourocarbon. Most of my none CDC based patterns, Hoppers etc, ive pre treated in Liquid Mucilin. Usually get quite a few fish before having to fully dry these and dress with a powder floatant What I have found over the years of using fluoro, if you don't get interest in the first 15 or 20 secs, I lift of and fan cast, or cover a moving fish if I've clocked its direction of travel. I find the taper better for those short snappy casts where you are targeting a fish as it helps energy transfer/turnover.
@@CarlNixonFlyFishingFlyTying can you use a 3 turn water knot with grand max?
I do in the larger breaking strains, 9.5 and 7.5 and 6lb if I'm using it straight through for 2 or 3 fly set ups. Buzzers, Nymphs etc If I'm making a leader up like this one, I use a Blood Knot, a little fiddly first time you try but soon becomes second nature....worth a watch on animated knots website.
