Bucktail Glass Minnow - UNDERWATER Footage - Saltwater and Freshwater Streamer Fly
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Glass minnow flies are made to mimic a small transparent baitfish. Generally they are tied wispy in order to be slightly transparent. This fly I am using bucktail instead of synthetic materials. Most of my glass minnows have been tied with synthetics in the past, but this will use the old standard for streamers which is bucktail. The material moves uniquely in the water, in a way that synthetics cannot imitate just yet.
This fly is able to be fished in both fresh and salt water. You can shrink the size of the hook a bit to accommodate the fish you are fishing for. This size hook works great for most freshwater bass, striper, redfish, seatrout, and any other saltwater species, but to fish some smaller trout on lakes or rivers, you might want to get the hook a bit smaller.
Hook: Gamakatsu SC15 size 1/0 - amzn.to/318Hhcm

First time watching your channel and now subscribed and will binge watch!I love that Creek!
Lol thanks man! Glad you like it. What creek?
Another nice recipe. Very straight-forward and nicely explained.
Thanks
That's it??? How cool! That could be such a great trolling fly for both Kokanee and trout! Great job.
Thank you, yeah pretty simple right?
That's a nice, simple baitfish pattern. Streamers are all I tie. So this is a lot like a Mickey Finn only white-flashabou-white. I never thought of dressing the rest of the hook shank.
This is a pretty common fly down in the gulf of mexico. I have seen it dressed with a number of things. Let me know how it fishes.
I know this will sound blasphemous, but I love tipping something like this with a strip of cut bait below the dam for blue catfish. I've also been adding a deer hair hackle as it seems to give off nice vibration mimicking the pectoral fins.
+Black Warrior Lures it's not at all. As long as bait is legal, I'm all about doing what works best. I used to use a smelly gel in corpus for redfish and seatrout. Especially for crab flies, the crab scent worked well.
Great and simple pattern, and it works. Thanks
Thank you, glad it works for you
This fly works amazing I got 30 spanish mackerel this past week
Very cool! Glad you caught so many! That must have been a fun day! Those are good little fighters!
@@McFlyAngler been trying for a while but slowly going though flies you tie to get the right one
Awesome man! So glad I was able to help
such a pretty fly.
Thanks
A very informative video. Many thanks.
Thanks man, glad it could help
Me sirve, para una especie que se pesca en mi zona, gracias
Sweet patter I'll have to try it out when the weather is warmer
Thanks! Yeah, its super simple, but works really well. Let me know how you do.
Nice fly! Did you get another vise. That doesn't look like the Atlas I saw recently. I am a vise nut, so I notice them. No not weird just love vises for some reason. I have to make myself not buy more. I can only use one at a time but have three and want more. I have a marc Petitjean master, a regal non rotary and a Nor-vise. They are all useful and I would have to really work at picking my favorite. The Nor-vise does everything, the Petitjean is the best machined, and the Regal is great too. I want the Regal Rotary. Sorry too much info. All the best, Sean
+Sean Mooney same vise I recently got.
thank you.
Thank you as well
Looks easy doesn't it 👍
It’s fairly easy, this isn’t a difficult fly
I like doll eyes because they add a bit of rattle.
Yeah, doll eyes are nice. However, I find the rattle is so subtle it almost makes no difference. Also, they are very expensive, unless you have found them at a decent price somewhere? I think I got these 3D eyes at about 1/3 of a cent each.
Usually for a rattle I tie in a rattle. You can get them on amazon and also some online fly shops. Here are 50 of them for $10. amzn.to/2rL4pJ1
Yeah, I usually order thing fro mover seas in bulk. I have a bunch of rattles in a couple sizes. The bigger rattle seem to make the most noise.
+Black Warrior Lures yes it does. Where do you get the doll eyes?
You can easily find them on Alibaba. It's like Amazon only it's B2B, allowing businesses to connect with manufacturers and wholesalers.
Yeah, I have used that site before. I once though bought something from there, and it never came, I spent $80 after shipping, and never saw the item. They refused to give me my money back. $80 down the drain. Never buy from there again.
Thank you very much!
It tooked me 3 miinutes
Its so cool!
Quick easy and effective! That’s how I like to roll! Yaha
Another nice fly. UV epoxy. I just subscribed to your channel.
UV "resin" technically.. Thanks man! Glad to have you...
I would tie this fly with just a little less flash and use different color eyes, like a silver color. But I did like the fact that I finally found a fly where I could efficiently use the bottom part of the bucktail! Also, what mm were the eyes? I plan on tying these in a size 2 hook so what mm eyes would you recommend for that? Thanks and a thumbs up !!
I always ad lots of flash in my flies, I like them flashy. A different size hook might not require a different size eye. I would use the right size in correlation with the length and thickness of the buck tail, not necessarily the hook size. Maybe drop a MM or so, try that.
Sweet!!
Salty...
I subscribed, I hope to see some "warm water" fishing and patterns related to such. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! Yeah I’ve got lots of them, check through the streamer playlist
Bavo top 👍👍
👍
is this an effective fly for finicky fish? the hook is pretty visible, just curious
Depends on how finicky... The hook is visible, I would scale down to a smaller hook if you are going after really shy fish. However where I fish this fly is in the Gulf of Mexico out of the Texas Gulf where I go after redfish and seatrout (specks) and they eat this up like no tomorrow. Even on days that some other flies don't work, these do. They do work pretty darn well there. I have caught striper, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and even a trout (with a smaller hook) on this fly.
Mc. Fly Lures thanks for the reply and the info! will definitely add this to my fly box then.
Yeah, its simple and easy to tie. And pretty effective. Try it in other colors also.
Can a 2 ought be used?
Sure, would be huge though. If you want a large fly then use it.
@@McFlyAngler Thank you
That moves like garbo in the water
Well the fish like it, and it actually moves like a small fry, which dart...
Well you got me there!
Is the a substitute for the braid
What?
McFly Angler could you use something instead of diamond braid
Yes, whatever you wanna use. I’ve used flashabou, and UTC makes this awesome stuff that is UV reactive. Anything that you feel will work, use! I’m no material snob. Lol. I’ve changed out materials more than most on things.
McFly Angler alright thx
Where did you buy the diamond braid??
+Jason Parisi honestly I'm not sure, let me go home and watch the video tonight to remember what exactly I used on this. I think it was at a small shop in Napa when I lived there, but it might be something from fly tiers dungeon.
McFly Angler ok great thanks!
Ok yeah, it was hairline's flat diamond braid in holo silver. I got it at a local fly shop in Napa, CA. You can probably find this at your local fly shop as well. If not, you can get it on Amazon here... amzn.to/2rPuvie
McFly Angler thanks!!
No problem Jason
where is the underwater footage???????
At the end, the fly is filmed under water... gotta watch the whole thing man
I would think your bucktail is flared too much.
Possible for your area yeah. My buddy I tied these for wanted them narrow but tall. Seems to work for him. Usually though yeah, I like a thinner minnow
I catch more Snook, Bass and baby Tarpon on this fly than all the rest combined.
HAHA, yeah its a good one, one of my most commonly used flies in my arsenal for saltwater and warm water fishing. Isn't it funny how the simplest of flies can out perform some that are super tough to tie?
You have great content. Thanks for sharing your video with us. Cant wait to see more. Check out my channel if you have the chance. Good Fishing!
Cool channel man! I love ocean fishing! I used to work out of "Dolphin Docks" in Port Aransas, TX taking people out on sport fishing charters. It was fun, and we have hooked into some large fish there. The gulf is the place to be for sure!
