Its out there, just the big providers don't get quality because bird breeders still feed their malnurished birds paste, instead of good wild food that the free roaming birds get with the smaller providers.
Thanks Carlie, tried this on size 22 on the Truckee River and it was a killer !! I was wondering what color dubbing you would use for a Green Drake ? I imagine that the dubbing color is determined by the nymph color, correct ?
Thanks for these videos. I’ve learned so much from you. I ordered a bunch of stuff to tie some jujubee midges. I was hoping you could answer on the mole fly if I were to use cdc puffs would I use one or two? Also, in terms of fishing it would you apply any floatant to the feathers? Thanks again for providing this content. Please keep it coming!
Appreciate your excellent videos. Have a question. I noticed that you wind your thread and tie in materials ‘counter clockwise’. Is this the way you learned, a way that is more comfortable for you, and is it the way you would recommend? Thanks again for all your quality tutorial videos.
Allan Podell actually I don’t counter wrap at all. It seems a lot of these videos with the black background give the impression that the thread is coming toward me over the top of the hook but that’s not the case. I wrap over the top away from me and tie left handed with the camera on the far side of the fly from me. Sorry for the confusion!
I would love to see your setup... If the camera is on your far side pointing at you, why then from our vantage point, we see a black background and not see you at all? What equipment do you use for lighting and camera/lens? Perhaps because your lens is set to a very narrow depth of field you become invisible. There is no glare whatsoever which makes for a perfect tying demonstration and soothing to the eye.
Your thorax is a sponge and after a while pulls whole fly under, sinks too much. Then if you hook up, it is a one and done. At yiour price you can keep it.
A bit of dry magic on the wing and a dry fly cloth to remove the fish slime after a catch and you’re good to go for the next one. Empirical knowledge here, not assuming.
This is a killer on the Taylor!! Thanks for the video, keep em coming!
A guy who sells materials telling people who to preserve materials.
Nice!
And what a killer fly pattern...
About the best dry I've ever fished.. Spectacular.
Used these on the Big T caught a lot of rainbows and browns GREAT fly pattern
All time go-to fly! Thanks for the video!
Enjoyed this lesson thank you sir
One of my go to flies! I've tied about a 1000 of these!
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing 🙏

Great Fly, thx
Been waiting for this one

Anyone tie this pattern on a Klinkhammer hook? If so, what has been your experience with it?
Nice

Any other colors these flies would be tied in? I’m thinking olive but I reckon Baetis emerges look different than the adult fly...
Cachi - it’s offered one the original brown, a pmd version with a yellow dubbed collar as well as olive.

Thanks for that explanation and clearing up what was my confusion.

Will possum work on this fly. Does it have the sinking properties beaver has?
Possum will work too,
Any thoughts about using snowshoe rabbit instead of the cdc?
That is exactly what I was thinking !! I'd like to hear what Charlie thinks. I'm definitely going to try the snowshoe.
Was thinking of trying EP fibers too 🤔
Bob Wyatt uses snowshoes foot. He suggest it's a lot more durable than CDC feathers. Personally, the snowshoe works great for me. @@rjf1877
I like snowshoe rabbit on these they seam to float the head up longer . Usually tie these in #20 on 2487 good all around size for a BWO .
Great fly , people as me what is that ? :-)
Sizes??
If one doesnt have beaver dubbibg, could you maybe recommend another material
Rabbit would work. Or any other natural dubbing that will saturate and allow the body to hang below the surface.
@@CharliesFlyBox thank you ,much appreciated
Possum would work great IMO.
I use Wapsi Rabbit dubbing. I pick out any overly long guard hairs.
What kind of Beaver dubbing do you use in this video?

Absolutely incorrect on every one of those statements.

This fly is the cat's ass. Learn how to fish it and maintain it.
