Great fly! Great video too. Your use of dubbing as long fibers was a lightbulb moment for me. Thank you! This is going to be killer for freshwater striper and white bass in Central Texas.
Great looking fly. Do you buy all the material from one fly shop? I'm finding that I have to jump around to different shops. If you have a shop where they have all the material can you share with us a link? Also I'm not finding the Veevus thread listed as a 100. I'm seeing a lot of Veevus thread but nothing listed as a 100. Thank you.
No, I have to buy materials from all over the web. There's just no place for one stop shopping unfortunately. Look for GSP, Vevus, comes in 50, 100, 200. It's the total number of strands in the thread. Good luck!
new to fly and this is nice and minimal clean ... what size eyes do you recommend using on hook sizes .. i see that you using a size 8 hook with med eye... im sure you can also use med eyes on size 4 to 6 also ? .... cant seem to find a chart online about this .. thanks
Yes! Eye sizes are 100% dependent on how fast or slow you want the drop. In this case the eyes are small and with the material the drop speed is medium. I'd recommend buying one pack of medium and large eyes and tying one and going to your local pond and watching the drop. Also remember more material=slower drop. Play with your design and you'll be happy!
Nailed a flounder in this tie, it’s amazing. Your so right about that belly too
Right?! Flounder so cool and congratulations! This is one of my favorite flies in the salt and fresh water. Doesnt have to be big to be productive!

I felt a great disturbance in the surf, as if a hundred stripers struck at once, and then were released from whence they came…
LMAO! They have all grown up to be just a little wiser! :)
