Debutante Tying, a soft hackle flymp
Переглядів 211Рік тому
This is a soft hackle pattern that I started working on around 2010, the final version has turned out to be a true fish catcher. It is the one fly I would pick if I could fish just one pattern. By changing color and size it will imitate a very wide range of mayfly, caddis and midge emergers and it just looks like fish food. This has also been an extremely effective fly for panfish and bass in l...

A Day on the Bighorn Fishing PMDs
Переглядів 3712 роки тому
August is the month for PMDs and caddis on the Bighorn River near Fort Smith Montana. The fishing can be totally off the hook when the PMDs start popping, this day was one of those days, SPECTACULAR!!! I've avoided any footage that would constitute hot spotting. The river is a bit crowded this time of year, to maintain your sanity don't get your mind set too completely on fishing a given hole o...
Balanced Mini Leech
Переглядів 7332 роки тому
There are times when a smaller leech pattern will produce more takes than a large pattern. This video demonstrates the tying sequence for a small, simple balanced leech pattern. This is a reliable stillwater trout pattern that will also catch panfish and bass. It is best fished under an indicator or fished slow using a sinking line and long leader to allow it to get deep.
Low Light Dun

The Low Light Dun is a searching/cripple/emerger fly that has been really effective on every kind of moving water from small pocketwater creeks to slow moving spring creeks and slick runs on big rivers. Tie it as described or change up the colors to match the mayflies on your favorite river.

Tying the EP Tarantula Crab

This video demonstrates how to tie the EP Tarantula Crab along with a few tricks I've learned over the last few years using EP brushes on a number of patterns.
Great tie! I love the minimal material usage I’m sure it works great!
@@grantmagee9071 thank you. It works extremely well!!
nice fly..use pliers to push wire end down so it does not cut thread....works for me
Good alternative technique, thanks for sharing!! Peace, Love & Fly Fishing
So simple and looks "deadly"!!!! Great looking fly m8!!!
I’m not sure where this pattern originated but it has been a really good trout catcher!
Thanks very much for sharing, looks an easier way than I've been doing.
You’re welcome. Using the needle really speeds things up. ✌️
Try it in dark btown as well, works when they wont touch the black.
I've never seen legs done your way and after doing 6 of them I though it was a cool method .Minus a few holes in my thumb , IT WORKED OUT ok.Thanx for the pattern ps. I also did the Graveyard BWO as well .thanx again.tight lines !
Do you fish this fly as an emerger? Looks like a dandy.
The beauty of the Graveyard is that it can be fished numerous ways. Tied on a light wire hook (I now use Umpqua UC625BL-BN hooks) it rides high in the water for when the trout are feeding on or near the surface. It can also be tied on heavy wire hooks (TMC2488H) to get it down in the water column. I also fish both versions as part of a multi fly nymphing rig. How ever you fish it, good luck, it’s been a real trout catcher!
great tutorial my friend thanx for the pattern I've been tying for 55+ yrs. and I always tell my daughters your not to old to learn and you taught me something today I will use on ALL my emerger patterns and that's how you tied on your fibres at the eye .Agreat tip thanx again .thight lines.
@kennethsanders thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. It’s always a thrill to hear from satisfied viewers. Good fishing!
Look forward to them!
Great fly pattern thanks
This is a deadly fly pattern in the spring and early summer. Cast it and keep in contact, but don’t move it and the fish will find it.
Oh so Swanky! 🇦🇱
😎
Nice work, John!
Thanks Bud!
I’ll need some for this Winter on the Guad!
Fantastic!
Great looking fly, love your wingbuds. I wanted to get some of the "CCT Fibers" but am striking out locating any. Any ideas? Thanks
It's made by Cascade Crest Tools (CCT) on the web at cascadecrest.com They've got lots of other cool products you won't find through other suppliers.
Love your "Graveyard Series" I have never seen legs tied in that way, excellent!
Thanks! I came up with it after watching Hopper Juan tie his Slim Shady. I really like the CCT fibers, they're easy to work with and really catch light in the water.
Good Job
Great step by step video.
Wow! Great fly. I need to tie it and fish it. Thanks for sharing your pattern.
What a great presentation. I certainly learned a lot about maribou and the technique you have for wrapping the body...very nice. Thanks for taking the time to provide the detailed explanations at each step.
Thank you Michael, I thought it worth the time and effort to explain the technique because it's not widely used by many tyers. I'll be using it in more videos in the future.
I love my small bootlickers as well. A way I’ve found for attaching the bead up front is by using a slotted tungsten bead and some braid. You double the braid over similar to that of a stinger hook on an intruder fly. From there you can tie in a much thinner body and have the bead much closer to the eye. I’m not trying to reinvent what is basically a crappie jig but the slimmer body really does seem to not only look better but also out fishes ones I’ve tied using bead nails and sewing pins. Great tie. As stated earlier, love me a good ol’ bootlicker
great place good luck beautiful river
great job
Thank you!
Nice work!
They look good. Definitely will tie several. Thanks for the tips and video .
Thanks Leonard!
I actually know this dude. He is cool af.
Heck yes!
BTW… No Whitefish? 🤣🤣
Kind of disappointing.......
Another one in the books! What a beautiful river and fish. Keep the vids coming!
Very nice. Just as good as the store bought ones. Thanks for the instructions.
Hi, & thanks for tutorial. Do you do well on river with this pattern as every time I hear of guys using leech they are on Stillwater.
Killer pattern for still Trout Lakes!
I use a spare uv nozzle tip to half hitch my tie off point.
Good idea!
A nice tye. I know this pattern as the Quigley Cripple by Joe Burke...the materials are a bit different but other than that the two patterns look very similar. Thanks for the detailed instruction!
ma mo, Thanks for watching and your comment. You are correct this is a close relative of the Quigley Cripple, though when I first tied it in 2010 I had never seen a Quigley Cripple. After an acquaintance pointed out the uncanny similarity I researched the original Quigley Cripple. The Quigley Cripple was designed by Bob Quigley, a west coast angler who designed a plethora of patterns that have inspired tyers all over the country. Bob passed in June 2012. I kept the names Low Light Dun and May Break on my flies because the materials are significantly different from the ones used on the Quigley fly, specifically the sparseness of the tail, the addition of flash in the tail and under the abdomen. It's not a pattern I would ever seek royalties for.
Love it! Great pattern!
In the North East of England, this fly is called the wicked white top hat. Ps, it Fishes well as a straight buzzer also.
Nice
Yes, Alex Harvey. Great little pattern, has caught me a lot of fish in sizes 16 and 18.
Many thanks, super video. Any tips how best to use this fly on the river?
Great, many thanks for the advice.
ua-cam.com/video/3Q29LYGjGIs/v-deo.html here is how the master ties it !
Do you use that jig all by itself to catch trout or do you use it with some kind of live bait or even dead bait? BTW, what do you use for the white dots? Nail polish?
Grand, This fly is designed so it floats on the surface. It is intended to be used all by itself, trout are attracted to it visually. As described in the video, the white dots are made with either colored UV resin or nail polish.
@@jwoodflyfishing Okay, thanks for the input. I appreciate the info.
A jig that looks like a hat! Who the heck comes out with that idea? What the............!
Love this pattern!!!
Thanks Nick!
Very nice quick easy pattern John.thanks for sharing
Thanks Mike, it's a reall trout getter. Hope you give it a try.
Thanks for the detailed and instructive video. Sure looks like a fish catcher. Keep up the videos please.
Great fly. Have you tried fly fishing in the UK? I'm planning a trip to fish in the Oxford area in December. So I'll give this a try. Thanks again.
Darrell, I have mot fished the UK but tie quite a few of the patterns that originated over there. I find the stillwater patterns I've tried to be extremely effective in the lake of the Rocky Mountains. Thanks for watching!
I am an Oxford based fly fisherman and I can tell you that the trout are very unlikely to be feeding near the surface in December. This looks like a very good fly for an evening rise to midge because it looks like it will sit in the surface. I will tie one up and give it a go - thanks for a good tutorial.
@@timfenton4718 Thanks for the information on trout fishing in December. Unfortunately that is our visit to see our new grand baby.
Hi Darrell, I’m not from the Oxford area, but can tell you for December trout are out of season on the rivers, but can find some Stillwater opportunities at Farmoor Reservoir. Perhaps you could consider fly fishing for pike , perch and Zander, there will be plenty of water to try out along the River Thames and the Oxford Canal. You’ll get a few strange looks but predator fly fishing is (at last) starting to catch on in the UK.
@@rogerjohnson8540 thanks for reach out. I might have to look into your suggestions
I found if you pinch and pull a clump of ice dub a few times it helps with the course fibers stick better to the thread great video very informative keep em comin
Thanks John. This helped extremely well. My first attempt was very similar for the tail. The only thing that I did was pushed the hook point through the rabbit strip. Also I thought the marabou was the last bit of material before the eyes. Thanks again.
Darrell, Glad this helped! Let me know if there are any other patterns you would like to see.
