Thanks, Chris, I will give that a try.

Very cool fly! I am a saltwater flyfisherman and I can definitely see this fly in my fly box in proper colors. Halfway during the tie, I noticed a really nice thin profile that would mimic a sandeel. Maybe a bit longer as sandeels go. So, in one fly, I already have a few variations in mind just by adjusting bulk and length of the materials. What a great platform! Thank you for sharing your technique!

[@jamescorliss1965]

Great looking fly....

Just watched the video after a long time away from the vice. I hope that my flys look as neat and tidy as yours Chris. An excellent refresher and beginners video.

Great video Chris nice close up and clear. A very easy watch for the beginner or those who make it to the vice only once in a while. Always beneficial that the fly is the star not the tyer. Tight lines mate 😉🎣

[@SilverScalesFlyTyingandFishing]

Thanks Tom, glad you enjoyed it!

[@bevomcbevenstein]

nice pattern.

[@markinnis8404]

Great!! Nice!!

[@Timothymasterhunter]

Do you ever use any lead wire to weight the fly? Not sure if it really would need it the hook looks pretty heavy itself...just curious if you ever tried it. I just started tying last year strictly trout flies but where I live in Maine I can see myself using this fly a lot for warm water fish species that the lakes around here are filled with. Pike, smallmouth - largemouth bass, pickeral, and I'd also like to try making some smaller patterns for the salmon and brooktrout that Maine is known for having trophy class opportunities... I was hooked my first trip a friend had taken me fly fishing because on my first cast I hooked into 25 inch salmon and by the end of the day I caught and released over 30 fish including a 3.5 pound brooktrout pb...my buddy didn't talk to me the whole ride back to my cabin...lol..he only caught 2 fish entire day...lol and then I started tying and I can honestly say I'm a natural and addicted to it!!! He talks to me now cause I can tie pretty good...Free flies...

[@joaohelmuthuchoa]

PERFECT!

[@jeffcollins1172]

I think this pattern can be used for Largemouth bass

[@dennisgrocholski4190]

Perfect.

[@thefella131]

👍👍👍

[@keithpayne4469]

What all materials were used for this fly. I am new to fly tying and want try to tie this fly

[@eileendefrancisco3897]

Superb job and video. I will do my best to replicate this pattern.

[@joaohelmuthuchoa]

What's the best dubbing?

[@rmwil9]

hi.what hook size would you recommend for trout..thanks..

[@SilverScalesFlyTyingandFishing]

Hi Probably a size 4. Just scale the fly down a bit to suit the hook size.

[@Aquarium1992]

That’s a ton of dubbing. As I live in the US how did you get that much dubbing? Craft store?

[@SilverScalesFlyTyingandFishing]

Easy, I run a fly Tying business 😎

[@willmaynard9016]

Hi I love the visa. Just wondering what setup you use or would recommend? Thanks alot and tight lines.

[@SilverScalesFlyTyingandFishing]

Hi Will, The Vice is a Peak Vice. Probably the best beginner/budget vice on the market. I would highly recommend it.

[@javicruzito]

Lovely fly pattern but do you think the EYES last a day of fishing?

[@SilverScalesFlyTyingandFishing]

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, but I don't think it really makes a lot of difference to their effectiveness, I still catch fish without eyes 😉

[@Zeemofree]

Could you please tell me what brand dubbing you use?

[@SilverScalesFlyTyingandFishing]

Silver Scales 'X' Dubbing, link to shop is at the end of the video ;) I am a bit low on stock at the moment but more on the way.

[@Zeemofree]

Thank you and nice tie

[@ronaldomustafasalesmustafa8424]

Show🏆🥇🤠🥳👏👏👏🇧🇷

[@steveyates1136]

You talk so slow. You must be from Southern England. Cool looking fly.

[@SilverScalesFlyTyingandFishing]

About as far south as you can get, the Isle of Wight, we're all a bit slow here 😆
