Roaring Coachman
Loosely based on the Western Coachman when we ran out of both golden pheasant tippets and duck quills. This fly was a staple on the Roaring Fork near Carbondale during the summer caddis hatches, and I'm convinced the silky wing closes the deal when this fly is fished actively ascending in the water column.

CDC Fur Ant

CDC Fur Ant HOOK: any dry fly hook, #12 - 18. THREAD: Black, 8/0 or 70d BODY: superfine dubbing or similar LEGS: CDC leftover from the Mole Fly CDC is magical, and I'm reluctant to throw away scraps after tying CDC Comparaduns. I save the scraps for this CDC Fur Ant, because the gentle footprint on this fly is a real fish getter. Even the scraps from the scraps can be put in to fine dubbing loo...

Mole Fly HOOK MFC 7048 #16 THREAD: 8/0 or 70d, tan or gray WING: CDC, gray FLASH: Fluorofiber, pearl ABDOMEN: beaver fur, brown. Suspended emergers are amazing, and this simple fly will make you consider downsizing your flybox now that you have a legitimate "Go To" pattern for baetis and midges
Gold ribbed hare's ear

If you lose all your flyboxes, this pattern should be among the first you tie to start rebuilding. It can be tied sleek or fat, smooth or raggedy, and in sizes from 10 down to 18. It gets eaten as a caddis nymph, or a golden stone, or a callibaetis mayfly nymph, and even as a scud! Perfect for those of us who struggle to tie a dozen identical flies - variety is desirable!

Stubby Chubby Purple

Here's a small-hook adaptation of the Chubby Chernobyl, for hooks size 10 and smaller. The smaller you tie this pattern the more it encroaches on your selection of beetles and ants, but there's something buggy about legs and big wings that draw fish from the depths. The larger hook gap and the heavier wire will help the fly land and ride upright, and when you have a fly with buoyancy you might ...

Here's a version more faithful to LaFontaine's tie of this pattern, with a dubbed head instead of the ostrich version in Charlie's video. I like them both.

Hey Marty, my leg material curls in different directions so my bug looks uneven. What should I do?
Fish it anyway! Unfortunately not all packages of legs are straight. Hareline's Life Flex and MFC Sexi-Legs are pretty dependable, but I've had some Wapsi that were pretty curly. It's against my nature to throw materials away, but I'll take strands of leg material and trim away all but the straightest sections. Boatmen still rock!
Would you fish this just subsurface
Callibaetis can be at any depth. The more bugs on the surface the shallower my retrieve, and especially if there are any rising fish. The rest of the time I fish it above and around weedbeds, and I look for the places I can just make out the bottom, commonly 6-10 feet.
great video. I use these in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. can't find them in the stores anymore. very helpful to make my own. thanks, JT
Just came across this and it’s been a fun one to tie. Can’t wait to try them out! Thanks!
Nice one! Well done!
Nice one thanks
Great idea!
That’s a great tip for the cdc. Keep the videos coming, it’s nice to have more local tiers to watch.
love this pattern in very small sizes on tailwaters when the fish are on emergers. If there is a midge hatch the key is a thin body so be careful to use as little beaver for the body as you can
I like your Clouser and have been looking to tie some more. I will use chenille like you have. Gray works well at Horsetooth also.
Thanks, and nice to see your comment. I'm pleased to have received a number of positive comments on the usefulness of this tie at Horsetooth. You should drop by the TU Pub n Dub social flytying sometime. It would be good to see you again.
Very nicely done, Marty.
I'm determined to expand my softhackle fishing this summer. Sooo much fun on bamboo!
The Wyoming Renegade catches fish!!! Everywhere! And it will last forever. 40 fish, at least. Great fly, Marty. I've never seen this fly in any book, but you definitely have a winner there. Talk about a "One Fly Season", this one is the one. They take it on the surface and subsurface. It is a rockin' fly. Thanks!!
Great tie! I’ll have to try it out
Great tie as always! I will be tying some up
Nice tie. I like the black over purple coloration.
Simple with the way you use the flash for everything. I like it. Hope the fish do!
Great looking baetis nymph/emerger
My favorite color combination is gray thread and brown wingcase/legs. It's an awesome dropper that won't pull a smaller dry underwater.
Great fly. Love that Bonnie Braid material!
Thanks! I'm finding more and more applications for it.
Beautiful fly!
I love CDC, but at times it can be pretty high-maintenance. The poly wing spends more time on the water and less in my hand getting rehabilitated!
Nice tie Marty. Hope to see you soon Gil
Work great dry on the Grayling in Joe Wright.
I'll give that a try this summer on Joe Wright. I'll just have to remember which ones are weighted!
Great tie I am going to start the body before putting in the legs that looks easier... I'm tying some on jig hooks
Tying on jig hooks should save a few flies from the rocks. I recommend teaching the Boy to tie them and then go take a nap. (Tell him I said Hi)
first!
Gidday Marty. Nice work and useful tips. Thanks.
Thanks Marty
You made working with the Supreme hair look a lot easier than it really is - well done! 🎣
Thanks! It took a lot of repetitions to get a feel for the interplay between underbody shape, the tight tie-in wrap at the back, and the very first wrap of hair. And warming up the fibers with a firm stroke or two really helps!
Very nice
I don't like UTC Thread at all especially 8,0. I use nano silk 6.0 if I want bulk 12.0 mostly.
When I tie these I will move my thread up to the eye ,bring my yarn up to the eye and since it down.Now once it is tied off I push the yarn back to the dubbing which creates a bubble over the dubbing. This is how LaFontaine does it and it works every time.Have you been digging for worms?
Nice work, Marty. I always enjoy your videos.
Great fly with excellent instructions. This is one of the VERY first flies my dad showed me how to tie back at least 50 years ago. It is one that I'll share with my daughter and son-in-law too. I make sure I have several in my box every time I go out. Great job Marty.
Nicely done. Thanks for your effort!
Beautiful fly! Definitely a killer pattern.
Excellent job!... thanks
Nice fly Martyn!
Nice colour combination chernobyl ant.
Although you called it a Chubby Chernobyl at the end of the video, this is the Chernobyl ant, right?
Right. Chubby's have yarn "wings" instead of the hi viz foam buttons.
Hello Marty. Nice looking fly, I have fished it a lot. Very effective in dead drift un slow moving waters. All the best.
I love bringing old classics back like this. Im sure fish don't see these flies as much anymore with all the technical tying going on
Good one, Marty. Thanks!!
Hello Marty! the name of the fly sounds like spongebob's meal. Nice bugger by the way!
Hi Marty. I don't see the materials list. You mentioned that the chenille was custom made. What is the color blend and do any of the CO shops carry it?
Hi, Dan. Thanks for asking - I edited the UA-cam to include the materials list which I neglected to add at the start. I used to find the chenille at Sportsmen's Warehouse, long time since I've checked. It's Orange and Light Olive variegated, and I haven't seen that combination in Wapsi or Hareline catalogs. There are probably other color combinations that work well, but this one has lots of karma for me (and a growing list of devoted converts who have success with it)
@@martysbench8552 Thanks Marty. I'll check it out. If I can't find that combo I'll try to fake it. 😀
Hello Martyn! Very nice fly. I like to tie the same fly. All the best.
Hi marty! I really like the idea behind this fly... midge braid works great for slim body as the air pockets in the braid seem to keep the fly up
Good to hear from you! I like your idea of midge braid for the body. Drop by the Big Beaver sometime - Vise Squad is 2d and 4th Tuesday, 6PM
Very interesting pattern, nice tie, going to tie some up in various colors, many thanks ! L 👍🎣👍
Thanks, Leonard, I think you'll be pleased with the role this pattern plays.
Nice fly Marty!
Hello Marty! Nice fly! Love to fish emergent flies.
This makes a super great trout spey fly. I can cast it on my little 3 wt trout spey with a scandi head no problem. The trout in colorado love it too. One of my most consistent streamer patterns.
Great fly for trout and bass in lakes. I've found when wrapping the hackle near the head give it 2 or 3 wraps like a spider fly. This helps it run true whilst trolling to help it run true. Or cut the under hackle to the same effect. You tye a great version and if I had only one fly to fish I would be happy with that one. But there is a better fly that I came up with that catches the 10lb. class in my local stocker lake.
Nice looking fly!
