Good Sir, this video began my own journey into tying flies. Got my first tool kit today! Thank you to the Moon & far beyond for this! I am coming arts & crafts & unbelievably stoked. Cheers, Blob!
Nice fly!! My U.V. light does this too. I find if I take the battery out and rub both ends on my pants. I get a better connection, even though it looks clean. Not sure if this will help you, but it does seem to help with my torch!!
@@markinnis8404 I will definitely try that! I mean it’s like a 15€ lamp but I’ve had it for so many years now that it’s kind of a thing that should always be on my desk.
Rub a little pure alcohol on a Q-tip to clean the contacts or rubbing them lightly with a jeweler’s cloth or super fine sandpaper (emery cloth) will fix the problem.
That really stretches the idea of “fly”; more of a resin lure. With foam, resin, rubber legs, etc the definition of “fly” has certainly evolved in the past few decades. Nice looking flure! (fly+lure)
@@Coastfly but still, only a problem if one is literally saying “flies” are actually imitating a fly, or if one’s definition requires feather, wool, and thread. You are part of the vanguard redefining what is called “fly” in fly fishing! Cool stuff.
Have always been interested in fly tying (never have done one, though) .. this resin approach does seem to add a whole new feature, to this craft. Thanks
It’s still a fairly new feature and this resin comes in all sorts of colors and viscosities. Originally used for fishtanks, surfboards and I think the switch came when these resins became available for purchase through the nail industry. 😊
@@Coastfly Ah .. I see. Well, the outcome is gorgeous. Just imagining that the "softer" feel of this in a fish's mouth, might be a positive thing, as well.
To an “all-natural materials tyer, it probably looks more like a “lure” than a “fly””, but if it’s intended to be cast with a fly rod, then I say it’s a fly. If you sometimes foul the tails on the hook, you might try extending the gammarus material beyond the hook bend, the lift the tails to superglue them to the end of the gammarus material. The glued area should extend far enough beyond the hook bend to prevent fouling.
Very nice, does it work in salt water? Can you share the vise and equipment you use in the descriptions. we can miss it due to the language difference. regards
Im not to crazy about advertising for the companies. I’ve tried partnering up with a few but it’s not easy in flytying or flyfishing. It’s a very old and slow process still. 😅
That tail has plenty of movement my friend. It’s also a common misconception that flies need to move and dance under water. Fish don’t dance. Neither does shrimp.
@@Coastfly. Yeah sure. 😂 that explains the success of time proven flies like a bunny leech, the Matuka, and soft hackle wets and many many other time proven impressionist patterns. Guess those flies are operating under the label of misconceptions eh my friend? Cute little plastic jelly bean but I’ll pass.
@@Shadrach666 you are 100% right BUT it is still called a fly in that sense that the steps taken to create this is called fly tying. Many of the patterns dont look like flies at all but somehow we have to seperate lure building and fly tying i Think. 😊

I was hoping you would put an in depth video of the blob , I saw you do one on your shorts , then this came up on my feed ! Awesome pattern !
I also love the creation you made and the attention to detail as to how it should look for the purpose. Peace.

That’s so cool man! Its a wonderful hobby and the creations you Can make are endless!
Cool idea to use the bead chain eyes haven’t seen that done before ? Brilliant looking fly !
Thanks! 😊
Nice little UV shrimp and really cool Zombie fish design. Very creative!
Thank you so much!
Love it. Just started making jigs and flies for my use and believe this would be a good addition to my baits.
Love it, I want to tye some! What size and color/s are the gammarus shells you use? And what fish do you use them for?
Nice fly!!

Shades of blowing on the old Nintendo cartridges, so you could get the metal tabs to make contact with the Nintendo game box. ;-)

Just subscribed. Nice job with the fly!
@@PassionForFishing-gn1qd Thanks for subscribing!
Good job
Thank you! 🙏🏻

@@brian1204 i agree. Even the fly flies like shrimp and everything that is not an insect is still weird to Call a fly i Think. 😅

I'm sure that there's an actual "fly" 🪰 somewhere that looks just like it.

It's COOL indeed!
Very nicely done! I have trouble with my uv light as well.
Seems to be a thing! 😅
Killer video bro!!
Thanks Buddy!

Been doing similar stuff by using sea fishing " squid " tentacles for the tail. Sea trout like it at least. Good job m8.
This fly has been a bluegill killer where I live
I just started this fly and I used clear crystal flash on the hook shank (wraps) and it adds a really nice fishy flash to it
@@manicallycapable that does sund Fishy!
What was the material for the back??

nice fly! what kind of fish you're using it for?
Im targeting seatrout, perch and rainbow trout with this one. 😊
Здравствуйте, подскажите пожалуйста какие гель лаки и гель клей нужно приобрести для вязания таких мушек,буду очень благодарен и признателен, спасибо.
Thumbs up. ❤
Thank you!
When you tie in how much thread do you cut and throw away. Too much waste. That being said ,very interesting fly design with lots of possibilities.
@@robertelliott5644 that tiny piece of thread I can live with wasting. You waist more thread if you snag a fly in a tree. 😅
Do always use aSolarez flashlight to cure the resin
Ive used this cheap one from Amazon for years actually!😅
@@Coastfly Thanks
Beautiful
Looks like it will have as much movement in the water as a stick.
That tail has plenty of movement my friend. It’s also a common misconception that flies need to move and dance under water. Fish don’t dance. Neither does shrimp.

Simplesmente Excelente !!!
Voldsomt flot!
Tusind tak!
Hei, de elastik leggs, har du navvn og hvor får jeg kjøpt de????
Hi, this elastic legs you are using for tail, what is the name and do you have a web-shop adress????
I dont advertise for shops. :-) google "rubberlegs fly tying" and you´ll find a lot of shops.
Hei, hvilke kroktype og size
Hei, side du ikke legger ut materials lis så må jeg spørre, beklager
Coolest?
🤷🏼♂️
you call it a 'fly' but it's actually a miniature lure and not a fly inn the traditional sense

I agree with every single word you said!
