Pigsticker by Charlie Craven

- What the pigsticker lacks in beauty it makes up for with its incredible effectiveness. While it seems simple to tie, a few details like keeping your thread flattened and smooth and proper placement of the lead wraps are important considerations.
Everyone I know likes to make fun of this fly, yet the Pigsticker really is one of my favorite flies. I have to admit that an awful lot of the biggest fish I have ever caught in rivers have fallen to this fly.
Materials:
Hook: Gamakatsu C12U #6
Weight: .015 Lead Wire
Thread: 140 Denier UTC Ultra Thread Red
Ribbing: Small Utc Wire Silver
Coating: Sally Hansens Hard As Nails Or Solarez Ultra Thin
All materials are available for purchase at charliesflyboxinc.com/
I took this pattern, got small red wire, the really small stuff, and wrapped it around a hook and put a bit of a pink hot spot in the middle. I took it to the Provo River in Utah and under a big fat hopper I caught so many fish my hand got tired! It was a GLORIOUS day!
Always figured I was handicapped because of my left-handedness. You inspire me to tie more. Thanks Charlie!
I learned this fly as the “Green River Worm” on the Green. Used orange thread and a huge Eagle claw shrimp hook. Browns come to it, but it scares rainbows because it has a wobble.
Excellent simple fly. Going to tie some of these. Your sense of humor makes your videos very enjoyable. Keep them coming!
Educational as well as entertaining commentary. Thanks!
Love the attention to detail you put into every fly! ATD
it is beautiful in its simplicity
I tied a bunch in different colors. I was boat fishing in a lake for sunfish and bass. Tried the red one and it caught both species. The hammered it. Must look like a red worm to them. Love it.
Love the content and expertise!
I fish Pigstickers for summer perch in deep water with good success. Tie mine a bit differently - I wrap the lead over some superglue to keep it in place then coat the lead with some UV resin to create a smooth base; attach the thread, secure the rib and put down a thread base; attach floss and wrap the down and back; counter-rib the body and finish with a light coat of resin.
Very underrated patterns
Great video
I use those hooks in size 14&16 for my cdc caddis. Now I will need to get them in size 6&8 !
Charlie what are your thoughts about utilizing glo brite thread for the body?
Nice flys great store website.
Hey I must be a pro now based upon my lead spool! Great!
Just curious if you have ever tied it with a segmentation hump in the middle?
Looks like I’ve found a place to use up a bunch of 37160s I’ve still got in my hook box.
Wow...I didn't know it until now...I must be a pro...lol
I laughed out loud at that lead and tinsel joke. It drives me nuts when that happens and it happens all the time. I used to place rubber bands but they dry out and break so I’ve decided to be a “Pro”.
Charlie, tell us again why you don't use a rotary vice, also when you were winding the wire did you put the bobbin in a holder or were you holding it with your other hand? Looks like a neat trick to aid in the winding of the wire but the video does not show. Thanks
wyomingtrout I’ve always tied on a conventional vise so a rotary vise feels pretty awkward to me. Just personal preference though I do feel a conventional vise offers better access to the hook. And as for the lead wire, I just palm the spool in my hand as I wrap but you could certainly load it up in a bobbin.
@@CharliesFlyBox I agree that a conventional vice offers better access to the hook. I especially notice it when tying tiny flies, I am ready to change back - can you recommend a conventional vice
wyomingtrout I’m a pretty big fan of the Dyna-King Pro. That’s what I’m using in my videos here. I bought this vise in 1990 and have tied a literal shit-ton of flies on it. Still perfect.
I have several vises.....think middle aged car enthusiast but with vises. It’s at least cheaper than cars. :) Anyway, I have several types of vises but I tie on one, predominantly, and that is the Dyna-King Pro. It’s just super comfortable to use. The Dyna-King Jaws are solid and hold a wide range of hook sizes. I have a midge jaw but generally roll with the standard. The standard can hold 8/0-22. I generally stop at 20 but it will hold 22 easily. I like resting my hand on the vise while gripping materials and it just feels better than anything else I’ve used. I never would have known about the Pro if it hadn’t been for Charlie’s demonstrations. I’m so glad I gave it a go. I travel extensively and this vise is often with me. Super quick set up if you’re always on the move. Feels like an old friend now....will probably buy another one for my kiddo who is just getting into tying. The only other vise that even compares is the Regal Medallion with a pocket base and a stainless jaw. That would be my second choice if I couldn’t tie on a Pro.
Need some utc 140 in red and orange. Stat!!
you can also use old 4 strand floss. Tricky stuff to use. Just wet it to get it to stick together then wrap it.
Killer pattern under an indicator or naked in most Stillwaters
Good pro tip! Lol
I'm gonna tie a dozen of these....but....when does a 'fly' become a 'lure'.
When a fly fisherman start to look more like a spin caster?
Again, I'm gonna tie a dozen. And, I spin cast......in Winter.
