Killer looking pattern. Will have to try this for Steelhead in our rivers here in beautiful British Columbia because they do love shrimp here. Love your skills on the bench, thanks Michael.
Hi Michael. Love your videos and your work. Have you tried doing these videos with Vocal? Would love to hear you commenting your techniques. All the best, Eivind Berulfsen.
Hi Eivind. Thanks a lot - and back at you my friend. Love your work as well. No I haven't tried commenting while I'm tying - but I might try that out eventually. Thanks for your input. Tight lines, Michael :0)
@@MichaelJensensAngling I know you have tons of experience with fly-tying and fishing and I can see you are using som skills I haven't see all so often. So I would be very interesting to hear you commenting. All the best, Eivind Berulfsen.
@@Mrfluefiske Thanks again, Eivind. Point taken... I am planning a video on special tying techniques using my dubbing series - so that might be a place to start talking. As you might have seen I do lot's of talking - usually before I start tying, on the water or in some of the technical stuff I have done on baitcasting reels, jig rigging and stuff. But... I hear you :0)
Hey Mike, I like P&S patterns. These shrimp patterns make decent crayfish imitations too. I like to let them drop slowly and give them an occasional twitch as they slowly sink. I've had bass come out of nowhere, eyeball it for a second, then come in and engulf it. When they turn and head back to the bottom I set the hook. Question - after the "bump" is tied in, when tying the remaining body segments, do you try and torque the dubbing around the shank 360*? Thanks.
Hey Joe, I'm thrilled to hear that you and the bass like my P & S Shrimp patterns. A couple of other US friends actually use these for crayfish imitations as well - which is freaking cool. I think a reddish brown and orange version with a couple of more pronounced feelers/claws might be a killer for that.... uhm... new video idea maybe? Regarding your question about the tying. Yes I distribute the material in 360 degree around the hook - by making that loose turn... before tightening up. The dubbing just rolls around the hook shank that way - and actually works as a form of wool hackle. I am in the process of making a instruction video, where I explain all the tying techniques - that I use for my Woolly Sparkle Dub. I think Eivind has pushed me into doing it with speak throughout the video. Well see how that pans out ;0) Have a nice weekend my friend, Michael :0)
Hi Fred, If it's me, you are referring to, I am trying to say Shrimp - but english is not my native language - and since you are having fun, I guess I didn't succeed. Naturally that means I will have to work on my pronouncement - or stop doing shrimp videos. I find a solution ;0)
