- Here Rob Clarke ties a Marc Leblanc pattern as a steelhead fly. He provides a detailed step-by-step explanation on not only the tying methods, but the material selection as well.
This video is ideal for the newcomer to tying Spey flies and wishes to learn the techniques. - Спорт
Fantastic! Very detailed explanatiuon which really helps us newbies! Will be trying this one.
You are indeed an amazing tyer.
Nice tie Rob...thanks
iv tied a few up on tubes. works nice.. great vid
great fly. I wonder how that would do on a tube. I am going to try it and see. Thanks for sharing. All the best, Sean
Don't see why not. It is a steelhead pattern after all.
It does but the proportions are difficult on a tube with no eye and bend to measure between. I have learned to finish the back off but leave plenty at the head. Just in case. Thanks again. Sean
Thank you for showing newer fly tyres that a commercial custom tyre saves the bottom portion of marabou for future flies. I cringe every time I see some fly shop tyres strip the fluff off and toss it in the garbage, they are obviously not buying their own materials.
Thank you Peter ! as always very nice ! Dick Ness
nise fly very neat
Nicely done. I Like the detail. So, If I dont have Pheasant rump, Wouldn't Guinea fowl work for the Vortex. Also What color combos? Orange body Olive Wings etc?
Thanks, Doug
This fly is more about the style rather than the colour scheme, so use whatever colours would work for you locally. Stiff guinea is great for creating turbulence for softer materials behind it, so I wouldn't sweat using it.
Fantastic tying lessons Rob. Could you make a recommendation for other color combinations for this pattern or provide a link to some variants ? I have competed a few of the beginner Marabou Spey and now would like to make a few of these for the box. Thanks again
Peter Charles here, replying for Rob. Good colour combinations for our area also include black & chartreuse, black & purple, black & yellow, olive & orange and brown & orange.
@@hooked4lifeca Thank you Peter. hope you can make the Spey Nation event this year.
@@paulsweeney2844 Hope to get there this year, if I don't get booked up all weekend, like the last few years.
What can you substitute for the pheasant rump, don't have any. Will heron work?
You could use heron. The idea behind using pheasant rum is that heron is not always available.
I get all kinds from Canadian Tube Fly Co, what ever color you can dream of. I have some black Pheasant rump, so will try that too. Thx for the reply!
the stem at the back of the bugs me a bit...nice work !
sorry,back of the head****
11 minutes later and all we have is a thread base and a few wraps of tinsel ... less talk more tie!
Love watching you tie flys but geez stop saying UHM, OMG makes you sound well unbalanced....
