Nice & simple. I noticed you didn’t use glue on the body. Do ever have a problem with it spinning after one or more fish hit it? Also, that was a pretty big block of wax you were using. Are you using plain beeswax?

Great job, Hughie!

Works great as an indicator for suspending buzzers underneath for trout on our stillwaters 👍🏻

I love it. Great use of a material that is often discarded. Does it really slim down in the water or does it stay a little plump like a fat minnow?

Definitely gonna do some of those to try out👍🏻👌🏻

Very nice.

Nice tie fly and commentary. Off to the vise to give it a whirl. Thank you

I like this one a lot! Thank you Hughie 👍🎣

💕Wow💛💛💛💜💛💜💜💜💜

Ants are usually effective, but very hard to see in fast water. I used Gartside’s ant with an elk hair wing for visibility and also used polypropylene fibers. Both are super fish attractors when there is a flying ant hatch. The Krystal Flash looks really nice, so my next ant batch will be with this for the wings. Jack Dennis used Krystal Flash as wing material on dry fly patterns but somehow it never occurred to me to use it on ants. Thank you for posting.

Excellent. Smple is always best for fisihing flies. :-)

Nice tie. Concise and well done. Thank you.

Nice to see you back posting 👍🏻

I tied the dark Montreal after I watched you tie it and the fish in the North of Scotland loved it, welcome back.

Please keep doing what you do! I catch lots of fish on your fly. 6:56

Just saw your channel. Great job on the ginger quill. Enjoy watching guys tie the old school wet flies. One of the most challenging parts of tying wet flies is learning how to set the wings. You do a fine job.

I’m amazed that you didn’t get more likes. I think you did a great job! Thanks

Very nice tie!

Verycool thanks for sharing this!

I’m a new subscriber, it’s named after Tom Murray who now lives on Vancouver Island. I know this as a young guy back in 91-93 I wanted to learn to fly fish and I was lucky enough to be mentored by Tom. He is a avid Sea Run Cutthroat fisher, this fly is fantastic on the beach.

Good tie Hughie! The mustad 94840 dry fly hook is now designated as Mustad R50. Thanks for sharing. Will whip some up here in Eastern Canada.

Great pattern. I used a brown ant as a dropper behind an Adams on a stream in j Indiana today. The rainbows chose the brown ant over the Adams. Who knows what they might choose tomorrow. Yet to be determined.

Excellent tying No question that will catch fish and cannot wait to tie some thank you for sharing

I like it, I see it as a wet float-n-fool, which is the best dry searcher imho

I've been 👍 shad fishing but never fly fished I think I'll try it this next year

Nice job a buddy of mine told me these flies work very well on brown trout looking forward to tying one up

I've been tying and fishing this fly for over 50 years. My all time fave dry fly. I would encourage you to use more peacock herl to cover up the thread showing on the shank between the post and the eye. I like that you use calf instead of yarn, AND you use one clump for both tail & body, as the original. I also like your modification to use a dubbing loop twisted with the herl, instead of the original wire rib counter-wrapped to secure the herl. Peacock is fragile stuff and I think your method will do a better job keeping them from breaking.

Beautiful fly

Nice tie,and nifty way to make the muddled head. One of my all time favorites

Interesting rendition. Usually I see the rubber legs and antennas tied in as one piece. What is your thinking on tying them in as two separate pieces? Also love the twisted chenille approach. I'm gonna use that on my bluegill patterns as a more flexible and cheaper alternative to variegated chenille.

Nice job on one of my all-time favorite flies. I have done very well with it on bluegills. That yarn body substitute really worked, better than I expected. Years ago, I was fortunate to get a supply of claret floss form Herter's.

Colours aside, it looks like a Hamills killer.

Very nice fly, just what I was looking for. I like your accent, where are you from?

Nice , zonkers are kind of the lost streamer with so many modern streamers out there. That being said everyone should have them in their box they are a killer baitfish pattern also great swinging. Thanks

Beautifully tied. Very realistic looking.

A little tip that I learned from Ward Bean's warm water fly fishing site - trim the chenille to give the fly body that carrot type profile that is so common.

Merry last Christmas 2020 & Merry Christmas this year. Congratulations on doubling last year’s number of subscribers. Your content is excellent & I hope you will be able to post more. Be well, Bob A.

Beautifully tied. Murphy’s Law: At least one fiber will always go astray.

Looks good

That’s an old pattern hook mustad 94840 don’t think they produce them now

Hughie .... where you been? Miss seeing your ties. Doing your Blk Gnat Dry. Hope all is well !

I saw a blue black feather from a bird one day while walking wondered what fly pattern you could make.from that. Nice fly looks neat

Nice, I’m going to try a rolled muddler variant of this. Could be quite effective I think.

That nymph will work anywhere It has something about it-my instinct tells me. Its todo with the shape and lack of fickly bits. A good fly. :-)

Nice little pattern.have you ever tied a trico nymph??

Very nice durable tie. Thanks from NZ.

Excellent. My kind of elegant simple wet fly. Rather like a Leading Coachan without a wing.. :-)
