Nice technique for tying on a bead/mono. Tying built for product and get on the water. Good point weight of fly verses shallow water conditions. When I fish lead bell eyes . You are spot on, I have to strip faster to stay out of wood trouble.
Like your simplistic approach to tying & fly fishing,this pattern rocks 🤟 have a question & wonder tying 4 bead chain eyes instead of 2,have you ever had a leader/tippet foul around them have heard of it just curious,tight lines 🤙🇺🇸
Thanks man. I'm a guide not some arts and crafts specialist. I haven't had the tippet wrap issue much but it does happen on occasion. You might get the exact same result with 2 eyes one size bigger.
Nothing beats a no-nonsense guide fly. Thanks for taking the time to share this!
That's about all I spend time tying. I usually like to be able to tie a few in short order before the next trip

Really glad you started making videos again. The covid ones were great
Thx Alex. I'm trying to stay on it. Trying to release one a week the next few years
Leech yarn reminds me of a yarn called motion. Nice fly!!
I think the old mohair Leech was tied with just a marabou tail and Leech yard body.
First like and first comment is from ICELAND 🇮🇸
I'm jealous, always wanted to fish over there

Mono connection 20# OK OR SHOULD IT BE HEAVIER? Nice tie!
That's probably fine
legend!
Who? Curt? That client got 3 over 25.5 with me last year on streamers at the young age of 69. It was awesome!
Caught again by auto correct. The yarn reminds me of mohlon.... not motion😂.
Auto correct likes to ruin my tone at times
