Awesome Winter Euro Nymph Fly Fishing Pattern! Tying Tutorial: The Stray Whisker

This has been a killer mid afternoon nymph for me on my local rivers over the past few months. I find that the Stray Whisker fishes best with 2/2.5mm tungsten beads under a dry or just subsurface as a single nymph. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

Dude. I been following all these fly fishing videos for years on YT. A lot of familiar faces. But boom. There you were. R u in the Fly Fishing industry, chef, tattoo artist, secret billionaire? Anyway, Really like the way you explain, well, everything. Keep ‘em coming. Your channel is awesome.

[@FlyingTies]

Haha I wish I was in the billionaire category 😂 I'm not in the industry, just a regular guy who loves fishing 👍🏻

[@BP-1988]

I plan to this fly on "Flies to To Tie" list. Also appreciate your description of how you fish the fly as well. Thanks

[@FlyingTies]

Please do!

[@IronSwan73]

Thanks for the inspiration, went all grey body with a tinsel rib to the cdc, it's been getting some nice cutty's up in B.C

[@FlyingTies]

nice

[@billpayeur7982]

Changed it a little for my materials but love the looks. Thank you

[@FlyingTies]

Nice :)

[@robertmajor4904]

Will put a few in my box! Thank you

[@FlyingTies]

Let me know how it works for you!

[@Utahlonghorn]

Another excellent pattern!

[@FlyingTies]

Thanks!

[@moscaman559]

Nice, simple, looks deadly… thanks 🤙🏼

[@FlyingTies]

Yup!

[@dicksonsmith2702]

Looks like a great pattern. I'll tie some up and give it a try. Thanks!

[@FlyingTies]

Awesome!

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

hah. read your channel name once, and now every few times I say "tying flies" it comes out "flying ties" lol

[@FlyingTies]

nice :)

[@thedappertrout7951]

Thanks!

[@johnperrigot7532]

Thanks for this! I’ll Tie some up. Would it be as effective with a gunmetal bead color? It’s all I have at home.

[@FlyingTies]

I usually fish it with a silver bead but I’m sure it will still work well with the gunmetal

[@flytyer2368]

Question: why in your narration did you say that you tied the fly on a 2mm bead, but in the demo you said 3mm? 3mm is a large bead…

[@FlyingTies]

I tie this with bead sizes from 2mm to 3mm so I was just showing that version.

[@deceg5284]

Why didn’t you just split the thread. Love the videos 🙏

[@FlyingTies]

Thanks. I just use a thinner thread with a loop vs thicker thread split. It's just personal preference, you could split the thread and get the same result.

[@deceg5284]

@@FlyingTies perfect thanks for the reply 🥃

[@isaacboettcher3489]

That’s going to wreck fish on the snake river

[@FlyingTies]

haha let me know if you give it a try out there
