Quality as always Barry. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Gonna give it a try.
You are very welcome Jim.
Another great fly.i would like to say thank you for your videos. They helped me get through some bad times this year.helped me keep my mind off of things.so thank you sir.
Thank you Paul, I'm so pleased they help.
Cracking looking fly Barry. Nicely tied and well explained. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Danny.
Thanks Barry, will definitely be tying it for this weekend. The Cruncher has been good on my local water Loch Insch.
A nice Cruncher there dude. One I feel quite confident in having a go with. Thank you.
Clear video and instruction - I will be tying some of these for my reservoir box - many thanks for sharing this pattern - subscribed.
Awesome, thank you! Let me know how you get on Steve.
@@Thefeatherbender - Just tied a few up Barry - a nice pattern for reservoirs - filling the gaps in my box and trying some new patterns at the same time !!! - I usually stick with GRHE or Diawl Bach for a point fly - this looks great and I know others use them to good effect - also used my new rotary vice and first time used proper rotary function for this - onwards and upwards - Thanks - Steve.
Great, as always! I’ve been wanting to try a Cruncher pattern for years, so this one seems like a good candidate for it. I like slender patterns like these. Also I’d like to thank you for the Diawl Bach hot head variant. This little fly rapidly became one of my favorite stillwater patterns last year. In some way, maybe because of the slender profile, this Cruncher sort of reminds me of the Diawl Bach. Happy new year, and tight lines!
Thanks, yeah I also have a soft spot for the slender patterns!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you Colin, pleased that you enjoyed it!
Nice 👍
Hello Barry...
... I'm very excited of your flytying.
Please help me.
What is a cruncher in detail?
Here in Bavaria this pattern is not known...
Is it like a nymph?
Thanks for your help.
P.S. I've bought your book... love it!
Hi Christian, danke! A cruncher imitates nothing in particular, a kind of nymph / wet fly crossing that is extremely popular in the UK for still water fishing.
Hello Mr. Clarke. I've read a third of your book, and I'm ending up tyeing bluegill flys. So im ready to dive into trout flys. Being a beginner, which fly would you suggest I start with?
Hi Randy, I hope you are enjoying it! I would start with perhaps the pheasant tail nymph and concentrate on the proportions and techniques, take your time and tie a half dozen in one sitting. Each time you tie one compare it to the one, you think is most correct and use that as a model for the next one... With a little practice and patience you should end up with 6 flies that are the same. Good luck!
@@Thefeatherbender Thank you so much. I've been out of commission for a couple weeks, but back at it before the salmon run. The steelhead are in up where I go in Michigan, but I'm waiting on the salmon. ( about a month away) I will start with the pheasant nymph. I do have a pheasant Cape, and moose hair. Theres so much to get.lol
easy
Is that an Indian furnace hen?
Exactly!
