This was my go to streamer for many years before the streamer game became as popular as it is. Still use it.
Watched this all the way from Scotland, lovely dressing !! Or as we say here , that's a wee belter of a flee 😉 👌 👍
Really enjoyed that clip guys. I too have fished this fly since the mid 90's. A real classic. Cheers
Nice. Excellent that you include materials that can be substituted.
This is an awesome pattern...I tie a variation with rubber legs as well. Great job as always
A little zonker strip would look good too instead of the feathers
Thanks to Dave Whitlock for a timeless pattern. One of many!
Nice looking pattern cheech!! Thanks for sharing!!
That is an awesome fly I definitely want to try it
To keep the thread from slipping off the hook eye, rotate the hook upside down when wrapping the dubbing loop.
Love it! Thanks
Nice fly!!
I like your method of building the head, definitely gonna tie some of these tonight. All I got is the brown color though
I LOVE that Dave Whitlock SLF dubbing.
Very nice Cheech! Recommended variations: barred Chickabou tail, silicone skirt tab pectoral fins, cream dubbed belly with rabbit strip over top,....?
Fly shop customer: “please show me where the whiting sackles are”
Fly shop employee: ☠️ 😂
That purple vise tho. Love it.
Nice. Sub bead chain eyes, grizzly sackle and purple flash = Sacramento perch fry. Tight lines.
love the slim streamer, cheech! btw, ever since I saw your parachute adams tie off method with the super glue on the parachute itself, i've always wondered if you got the idea for that from DW?
I know he did that with some of his patterns, I recall way back, Whitlock was a guest on the old show The Angler's Art and he said much the same as you about tying off a pattern with super glue: never had a fly come apart because of it etc...
All the best to FFF guys!

Hello Cheech. What size line and leader do you use when you cast this fly?
going to use those in belize for bonefish😳looks like a little crab maybe with my own ideas
Where do we find sackle? I have looked everywhere for it but can only find saddle. I found one place that sells both saddle and sacks, but no sackle.
When will the hen sackle be back in stock?
Hey Cheech, do you guys carry hen shackle? 😊
What brand of super glue did you use?
Hen Sackle 😳
Великолепно 👍👌🤝🙋♂️
I love me a good hen sackle!
How come your hook looks like black nickel finish and the TMC 708 is bronze; exclusively with no equivalent
Please reply
3:26 : we said this in unison. Almost lost my IPA laughing! That would not have been OK ;(
dare you to do a Sneaky Dingus tying tutorial.
I got to tie some of these. It's streamer time now here in CT. Got a lot of rain again this week and I got up to 38 deg F. No frost yet, Rifle Deer Season Starts Monday. Lots of leaves are still on the trees. Plenty of time Rifle season is four weeks long. Dave is a legend in his own time. I became aware of him back around 1967! I fish his Red Fox Squirrel Nymph a lot it's my third favorite Nymph pattern after the Hare's Ear and PT.
