Don't be afraid to change the pattern up either. The same idea works great for most of the larger mayflies- isonychia, green and brown drakes, march browns, etc.

Thanks - best explanation of how to tie an extended body that I have seen.

[@marshallbaldwin8960]

This is a Great looking Cahill with the extended tail. I’m going to tie some up for my box. Thank you for showing this tutorial.

[@turley22ful]

Thank you so much for all of these videos. They are by far the best I have found on UA-cam and they help me with tons of flies. Keep making them please!!

[@kjkornegay]

whole new way to think about a mallard flank feather. outstanding video, thanks!

[@Flyfishthebordersandbeyond]

Your videos are amazing. So simple to watch but tells you everything you need. Absolutely fantastic. Keep it up buddy

[@ghislaindesrosiers8074]

Thanks for the vid,snow shoe rabbit is a magical material!For wing or dubbing it's my favorite stuff and it takes the dye very well!

[@markvermeer367]

Tim I really appreciate this pattern and it has become my go to for almost all mayfly presentations. I have modified it to add a "wally wing" set of wings and a little CDC around the thorax to suggest legs. Last week I did an up sized and color appropriate version on a #8 hook to fish on the Hex hatch on the AuSable river in my home state of Michigan with very good success. This is such a great fly , its like a secret weapon!

[@vmaxzile]

Love the fly and the music thanks, all the best Paul.

[@MikeBlezien]

that is a fantastic way to tie an extended body, gotta try that. Thanks for sharing that tip.

[@caileanmoore2835]

Excellent looking fly and the extended body made from a feather is much lighter in weight than foam.

[@jimmyx38]

I love your vids. I'm new to tying and of all the videos on youtube these are definately the most descriptive and easy to understand. (no accent ha) If i could give any criticism it would be to add a material list to the video description. Thanks again!

[@draven3838]

Wow ,that's a great fly

[@Sittin.]

4:43 If they fish better then they look it must fish FANTASTIC :)

[@miroslavz.2996]

Fantastic video thanks

[@domingorodriguez4769]

Very cool fly, looks easy. Going to tie with Veterans , Platte River Project Healing Waters. They will really enjoy it. Thanks We have a rabbits foot and wondering what to tie with it LOL....

[@jaredi6221]

great pattern

[@ArcticFlies56]

Nice job!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

I’ve got a bunch of mallard feathers so I’m going to see about making a half dozen of these guys. Maybe with a Wally wing instead since it’s more of a mayfly wing shape. Like a spent oke

[@johanlofdahl4490]

This I will try.

[@BacalaoBrad]

excellent !!!

[@5adamjb]

Wow! Love it. How come I can't break my thread with my fingers... I see everybody doing this, but I must have weak fingers or something.

[@flyfishingalabama8363]

i think it only works on lighter threads

[@militarist7777]

Супер.

[@lepre0439]

Probably the most effective shape on internet. Then there will be the 90 % about presentation, but it is another chapter…

[@user-sr8gh1me8x]

Великолепно 👍

[@krisnichols1650]

Love the looks of this pattern! would white kip tail work for the wing?

[@MrChaintreuil]

very nice ,your fly is fantastical ,thanks for that tip
fifi01 ( france , lyon)

[@michaelchambers427]

Would CDC or Antron also work for the wing? Very slick way to make a body and tail!

[@derekmcneeley214]

Great video. What is the soundtrack you used for the video?

[@biologistangler7901]

Would calf tail fibers work as well as the rabbit's foot for the wing? If not, what other materials could be used?

[@flyguyphil7247]

Could you do one in size 8 on a hopper hook to simulate the hexigina hatch?

[@joelkrueger3413]

Great video!! Is this a dry fly? I am new to fly fishing.

[@maxp1579]

yes this is a dry joel krueger

[@koltenmeyers8542]

When would be the best month to fish this?

[@user-yo7su3xe7c]

Что сказать мушки изумительные . Руки золотые . Очень поучительно .

[@AnthonyPikyavit]

lol pushes his barbless ways upon us. 😂

[@fishingbeyond8435]

Anthony Pikyavit why use a barb though?

[@StopSignPodcast]

Is this supposed to resemble a may fly nymph?

[@tightlinevideo]

It is supposed to resemble an adult mayfly or dun which rides in the surface film of the water.

[@StopSignPodcast]

+tightlinevideo thank you and have a good day

[@TheH2ghostAdventures]

Super excited to tie these

[@kennethsanders963]
