Really well done V. Your video provides us flytyers with another dimension. I must say I have been preoccupied with tying technical efficiency, without much regard for function. I suppose we can see more clearly (at least with nymphs) the competing forces of getting the fly down quickly (sparse dressing), versus building in movement (more dressing).
Glad i could make something people will find useful. I agree, function and technical efficiency are important.... Sometimes i make a compromise between two... Like in my improved perdigon video... I like when nymph is full of life. 😃😃
Thanks for the video! That was super interesting and informative. I like watching some of my bigger streamers underwater but I need to look at a few nymphs underwater. The CDC legs looked really good as well as the way CDC sits on top of the water and traps little air bubbles. The fish at the beginning almost looked like a creek chub or fallfish that lives in my area but they have smaller scales and the fins look a bit different.
Thanks, i love underwater stuff, thats why i do some diving too... I always assumed what i showed in video about colour of dry flies.. Now another question is if it matters for the fish. That i cant say for sure, but i think not as much as we think. The fish is chinese version of masheer. The most challenging fish i had a chance to fish for
Interesting video Vladimir. Not very often you get the fish eye perspective on things that happen underwater. We need more videos like this to change our perspective of tying and fishing the flys we make. Thanks buddy!!!
Thanks for posting this Vladimir! I always tank-test my patterns to see how they swim/sink/move and to check the color/flash and silhouette. Yeah, the position of the light really affects things - that iridescent green peacock herl is a beautiful insect-brown when back-lit, one of my favorite body materials! Cheers!
You are welcome my friend. I honestly never did it except while fishing, that was the time to observe my flies.... This was my plan for a long time.... But somehow i never did it due to fishing 😂😂 Yes, peacock is amazing material among top 3 in my opinion
This video was informative, very well done and answered my tippet question for dries and what happens with loose line for the jig hook. THANK YOU!. Well done!
Thanks for watching... I am sure they do. There are some information about juvenile teout being able to see UV spectrum while larger ones could not.. What i did is just a tiny scratch in a big subject.... Cheers 🍺🍺
And another great set of tips Vladimir. Thank you. ps..... just in case you missed my input: I’ve been in hospital for just over three weeks and have been ‘out of the loop’ for a while. I’ve missed the input I usually get from you guys and I’ll be a little time getting back ‘on my feet’.
This is a great video and shows difference between jig hook and standard hook..A question on tippet for dry flys: What will you do to make tippet less visible or for better presentation and drag free? Thanks, I am now a subscriber!
Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🍺After i made this video i started looking for solutions.... The first one is sinking tippet for dries... And lower riding flies that will help the tippet submerge. I will make a video on that... Thanks for your questions, that inspired me to get this idea... 🙏🙏
Thanks a ton. You mean the one with cdc and partridge for legs and tail? Its probably colour change in the editing.... That one is brown... And green long marabou one has metallic pink bead... Again colour may have changed during my video editing.... I haven't noticed it.
@@Oholisfliesandfishing Oh haha, still awesome to see some underwater footage. Thanks for clearing up the bead coulors, that cdc and partridge looks super fishy!
Look for dohiku, hanak, tiemco brands. They have good quality. This is how it looks like www.google.com/search?q=dohiku+jig+hooks&oq=dohiku+&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0i512l8.3615j0j1&client=ms-android-huawei-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=_GXh5-9y3iUt1M
Just curious, if the nymphs are ‘upside down’ in the water, would it make any sense to tie them to ‘present’ as right side up? Basically, tying them with the hook barb up? I dunno if I’m asking the right question..... it just seems odd to tie all these pretty flies with feet and wing cases where all the life like features are pointed to the sand. And none of my focus is on the underside of the fly as I tie it
You are asking right question... But i believe it doesn't matter to be honest.... One of the reasons is that water is tumbling naturals during their drift... Secondly fish usually takes flies that are above its mouth level... So wingcase is not visible very often.. If nymph can ride "properly". Hope this helps a bit? Cheers Vladimir
Thanks, glad u liked it. It is army fish- literal translation from chinese.... Its kind of masheer. One of the most demanding fish i had pleasure to catch.... Even small ones are very challenging.
@@WuAndyWu yes, very similar. Hope when this virus is over i will come to Taiwan to fish for it. 😉 Now i am in guangdong, so close but so far due to situation now. Cheers 🍻
Just found channel and subscribing. Great content and fly tying’s!! Thanks!!
Thank you very much. Glad you like the content 😀🍺
as usual, great stuff, these kind of videos are surprisingly rare, but probably some of the most important.
Thanks. Yes, I agree, too rare.. I will try to make some more in more turbulent water
This is a great video!

You can really see bubbles that was trapped by the cdc on the dry stonefly immitation. Wow! Another great job Vladimir.
Thanks a lot... Yes... Its the structure of the CDC that does the magic... Not the oil 😉

I literally started searching for a video like this today! Good job!
Of course now I have to buy jig hooks! 🤣
Hahha, well jigs are my hooks for nymphs. Only for smaller or lighter nymphs i would chose other models. 🍻
@@Oholisfliesandfishing Cheers!

@@Thomas-cs2rr thanks. I appreciate it 🍻🍻
I think the fish sees a little differently. in any case, thanks for the interesting video.

Awesome video man thx a lot for this
Thanks for watching. Love your name 😀😀🍺

@@etiennebbeukes6009 thanks.... I learned so much from this video too... Its cool that i can learn this way together with others 😃
Great video!
I am new to Fly Fishing
Why are these floating with the hook up?
Thank you for your time
👍
thank you. if you are referring to jig hooks its their design. Its to catch bottom less. smart thing
@@Oholisfliesandfishing so if I want to buy them with the hooks up, I shop for "jig hooks"?
Look for dohiku, hanak, tiemco brands. They have good quality.

@@kalikasurf you are most welcome. Stay safe and tight lines. 🍻🍻🍻
Hello, can you tell me what’s that fish you caught in the beginning of the video？also great video providing some underwater action
Thanks, glad u liked it. It is army fish- literal translation from chinese.... Its kind of masheer. One of the most demanding fish i had pleasure to catch.... Even small ones are very challenging.
@@Oholisfliesandfishing ohhh thanks, I see which fish you are talking about now, in Taiwan we have something very similar called "Taiwan Masheer"
@@WuAndyWu yes, very similar. Hope when this virus is over i will come to Taiwan to fish for it. 😉 Now i am in guangdong, so close but so far due to situation now. Cheers 🍻
