Amanda sits down with Jody from "Jody's Bomber shop" to learn how to tie one of her most successful patterns for Atlantic salmon from the previous season.
I like your explanations about how the fly fishes. But do you have to use a light weight floatant, maybe frog's fanny powder, instead of, say, Mucillin, to keep the body weight down so it doesn't sink into the surface film? And wouldn't you also want a really sparse tail and wing/locator for the same reason? Myself, I favour flaired deerhair or elk for the tail like on a Carter Bug, altho it's less durable, and my wing is just a short hot-spot - which twists less on the back-cast on windy days. Fewer wind-knots on reaching casts.
🪕🎸🎻. So ..Rollup Bomber …and pass me what’s left of that strange cigarette… This one will get me so loaded and make me forget about how you shit on me …. Great song 👍
Great pattern
I always tie in hackle at front and take thread back and up through the hackle it last longer . It it just cleaner that way .
Very well done Jody. Bravo.
