Tying The Long Tailed Wilkinson - Beadhead Salmon Fly
I agree with you Sean. I can only fish with my flies. To be able to make something with my hands that blends into nature so well that a fish wants to eat it is exhilarating. I also like to modify a pattern to make it a more creative process.
@@gkeic 100% 👌 thanks for watching 👍
Niice tie Sean. That wing is pretty. Is it blue/green? Thanks.
@@joeduca8582 thanks Joe, it is grey squirrel dyed blue 👍
Catching a salmon on a self made and designed fly from the materials available will always be the ultimate buzz for me. Perhaps it will remain a joy and hobby when my shoulders eventually pack up on me but until then I will continue to chase my dog around and interfere with pheasants in order to obtain some fluff to tie with
@@captainflint89 what a buzz indeed 👌
Laxa blue?
@@josefranciscofernandezmore3493 thvera blue, but very similar and probably considered a variant...not sure about the history of this one Jose 👍
Great fly Seán... great seatrout fly. 😉👌
@@jamescompston2678 all the right colours for them 🎣
Anywhere to purchase this fly? Looks amazing
@@stiofain4693 Andrew Laverty, who created this pattern, ties to order, best give him a shout on Facebook if you're on it 👍
Thanks Sean
Thanks, another simple pattern.
@@joeduca8582 cheers Joe 👍
Hush!🤫that was popular in the late 60's. I was in my teens. Sean, you must love music from that era cuz you don't look that old. Oh yeah, awesome double. Rule of thumb where I live, fall colors for salmon and browns in the Lake Ontario tribs. That Stoats Tail gold and orange fit the bill. I saw a stoat (ermine) about 25 years ago, in its brown coat, drag a dead rabbit under a wood pile. Last winter I saw one in it's winter coat and black tip tail hunting behind my old machine shed. Your awesome Sean, got me all pumped up with this short!😅❤✊️
@@joeduca8582 glad it got you pumped Joe 👌it's a great song, I love all kinds of music and genres 🎸 I remember first hearing this during a car advert and loved it immediately 👌wasn't around in the 60s though 🙈
Also stoats are class 👌😂
I just find it relaxing Seàn... i also find i only use my own now... you are spot on about being confident using them... we all have our wee secrets! 🤣
@@jamescompston2678 absolutely James, great for the head too. When people say he's already fished through a pool and no joy, I always think...yeah but he hasn't fished through it with one of these...😂
So true!! 🤣
Great video. Yes, it's really fun to ty fly, and you caught fish on it. It's a real bonus, too 👍👊
@@magnetchi no better feeling Tommy 👌
An older man working in an Angling shop said to me years ago “that fly tying was more expensive than fishing/fly fishing its self.” He was and still is 💯 % spot on!
@@WeeManSham i would agree with that 😂
True words Sean.
@@joeduca8582 thanks for watching Joe 👍
100% agree, i had to build a loft extension as a tying room. Spent £1000's on materials as i tie for Salmon, Trout and Big Saltwater use.
@@simonyoung908 hope your wife isn't on UA-cam to read this Simon 😂
Very well explained Sean. And I agree it is a hobby in itself that gets hold of you. I too have spent a small fortune on this hobby but to catch on your own is the ultimate. But always make sure to tie a couple of that same pattern, just in case.😊👍
@@neilmcclure4401 it only saved your fishing buddies money as they dip into your box while on the bank 😂
@@SeánWoodsFishing 👍😀
Great looking fly and work! Sean what diam of tube is that you are tying on please? If its standard outer tubing can I ask how the drainer disk fits over this ? As you know normally the hole in coneheads, drainer disks etc will only fit the liner tube used within the std outer tube? Any advice would be much appreciated. Tks
@@thedoggedangler thanks very much 👍. That is 1.8mm tubing and I was hoping for a slimline profile anyway. If you are wanting to use larger 3mm tubing, just complete your fly on it and then add liner tubing. It also has the advantage that should the cone dull or chip you just cut off and add more liner tubing and cone without needing to tie a new fly. Another alternative is to add a section of 3mm to a liner and then tie into it with super glue wrapped just before head. This gives you the larger profile but then slims down at the head for the cone. Hope that is helpful?
@@SeánWoodsFishing Thanks Sean I tied a couple on 3mm tube with a short liner angled and glued and whipped in. Will try a few on 1.8mm for slimmer profile. Thanks a lot, appreciated.
@@thedoggedangler no worries at all. I've fished down to 1.5mm tubing for wee micro tubes for low water grilse 👍
@@SeánWoodsFishing Thanks will give the 1.8mm a go for low water conditions. thanks
Deadly
@@fergalmcgorman1253 nice and simple too👍🎣
Waow, it's really nice fly tying 👍👊
@@magnetchi thanks as always Tommy 🙏
Use able art 😊 Gorgeous 👍🏴😁✌️
@@chopperhehehe thanks Chopper 👍🎣
"Fire tiger " colors - yellow, green, orange. Works for Pacific Salmon here in the US too. Nice, cool music too. Thanks.
@@joeduca8582 thanks for watching Joe, the stone roses are a great band too 😂👌
@@SeánWoodsFishingindeed!
Great tip, will definitely give that a try. Much easier and quicker method. 👍
@@spiderman3044 glad it helps 👍 use this all the time
A great fly, awesome fly tying again 👍👊

Thanks for the video. Really nice looking fly 👌
@@spiderman3044 thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video 👌🎣
I love tying on trebles for bass
What colour of bead is that Sean.
@@ronboothroyd3412 Hi Ron, it's a countersunk rainbow brass bead. Hope that helps
Fascinating to watch these being made. Very cool
@@Kelly-gn7vr thanks for watching Kelly, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Awesome video, great fly tying 👍👊
@@magnetchi thanks very much Tommy 👍
Lovely Sean👌🏼🎣
Thanks Andrew
Very clever. Thank you.
@@freddy-fq2fp hopefully it helped Freddy 👍
Hello Sean,,,this is a awesome fly...i have a question about the hook you use. What brand and size do you use for this kind of flies. Thank you very much for the answer.
@@toncremers9776 hi Ton, this is a Kamasan b175, a very strong trout hook stronger than most salmon singles. I think that one was a size 8 👍
@@SeánWoodsFishing Thank you very much for the answer...so i go to order some hooks.
Awesome fly tying 👍👊
@@magnetchi thanks Tommy 👍
🧐👍 nice!
@@joeduca8582 thanks Joe 👍
Sean, do you melt the tube end to secure the cone head in place after the rest of the fly is tied and do you use superglue on the inside of the cone?
@@michaelmaxwell5586 Hu Michael, when putting the cone directly onto the tube I'm tying I put super glue on thread, put cone over and then burr end. If I'm using a liner and cone, I just insert and burr as there is no thread to glue to. Hope that makes sense?
O yes, that's a really nice fly tying again. Awesome 👍👊
@@magnetchi thanks as always Tommy 👍
Always used dyed Guinea Fowl, much easier than Jay and easier to obtain. Tried Partridge dyed but too soft and collapses easily.
@@simonyoung908 absolutely Simon and gives a nice longer front hackle too usually. I have also used blue grizzle hackle but Guinea fowl is definitely preferred
Nice Sean! What hooks would you use?
@@paulirwin2678 my preferred single for loch patterns would be B175, will pull in a donkey before bending 👍
@@SeánWoodsFishing cheers Sean!
Caught a few on that flee .like the different with the guinea fowl and the oval tinsel thanks for that
@@9suuupersonic thanks for watching Terry 👍🎣
Shirley the Angler downstream is too close…?! 🤷🎣 just a thought.
@@WeeManSham all anglers are well spaced out but I would have preferred him to step out when I was waving so I could have let that fish run as opposed to fighting it on the lip of pool leaving the point fly dangling. Don't think it was intentional, he just didn't know the craic I think 👍
Awesome fly 👍👊
@@magnetchi cheers Tommy 👍
@@SeánWoodsFishing cheers 👍
Col from Brisbane, Australia, just made one using your video as a guide. Made it a bit stronger for 4 rods and heavier Alvey type surf reels. Great when moving up and down the beach between gutters. Tks.
@@MrStream55 great to hear it was helpful Col, that is great to hear 😊
What size of double is this ??
@@joehepburn3438 if memory serves me right it was a size 8 patriot 👍
@@SeánWoodsFishing thank you nice fly 👍
@@joehepburn3438 thanks Joe 👍
