I. LOVE. THIS. FLY!!! This is -in black and red- is one of, if not my top go to fly for both Trout and carp! it is a FISH POKING MACHINE! Thank you Sir Cheech for this! i'd love to sit down with you and pick your brain more sometime!
Everything I watch from you guys just gets better and better. Articulated flies have been around since I guess the wiggle nymph and a really cool sand eel I saw in an orvis pattern index book that was first released in '78 then '80 and both volumes combined in '90. I bought that in the '90s to learn how to tie flies. But I wonder if you know how or when all these modern dubbed head streamers and articulated things started. It seems to have expanded into a pattern style that opened a new phase in tying and development of new materials specifically for this style. Stuff like your low fat minnows have a perfect profile and are not that hard to tye yet they are sort of similar to salmon or steel head style flies and intruders, etc but condensed into a solid form and still have lots of movement. The closest pattern I ever tyed to this style was a leech or more likely a dragon fly nymph that I saw in an article by Gary Borger. Marabou tail tyed short, weighted under body, the short fluff from a turkey marabou plume (the kind I had were probably neck feathers from crappy marabou I bought or from a dollar store feather duster, the tips were like T base or flats from turkey) in a dubbing loop wound as a body and figure 8'd around the coolest eyes - 2 clumps of knotted peacock herl tied to each side. It was roughly trimmed to a fat body, narrowed down at the "neck" and left with a bulbous head. That fly pulsed when held in the current and looked so alive it startled me! Just the eyes sparkled. Anyway I thought you guys may know the answer as you tye many different styles and are so good at it. So I'll take my turtle neck off now and turn my kangol back around ( my beret variant) and let you get back to work. Thank you guys, always the best in tying!
I want to try this maribou approach with woolly buggers. I bet it’ll look great.
Mini hair clips work wonders for keeping materials out of your way. Lol I got a strange look from the dollar store cashier when I got some the other day. I just said fly tying tools for work.
I bought one of these in the Halloween color yesterday
what bobbin are you using if you don't mind?
For me, that Magic Tool is harder to use than I would have thought. I probably should tie a bunch of flies using the thing. :-)
Would Antron work instead of simi seal? And also what other Color’s could you do it in?
Why Simi Seal dubbing instead of Bruiser Blend (just wondering)?
mlevesque33 Bruiser is too soft. Simi moves more for this type of fly.
Ok.
Ooo, I've got my fancy comb. Ha ha
