These are great for panfish! Was admiring the green squirmy worm fly - tied with black bead-chain eyes, longish partridge collar and a shorter tail would be an awesome damsel nymph imitation. Will have to get some of the green squirmy stuff! Cheers Darren! Hank
Hank, that sounds cool and reminds me that I've been meaning to tie a damsel one of these days. I used to fish quite a few back in the day. I can send you some of the green, email me. Cheers
@@PiscatorFlies Darren, just thought that I would mention that the best adhesive I've found to use around squirmy material is Bishers "Tear Mender". Tear Mender is very stretchy (not as much as the squirmy though) holds well and doesn't damage the squirmy material. Use the stuff to glue eyes on a lot of my pike streamers - like the way it penetrates and bonds everything together.
@@hankvana2149 Hank, thanks for the heads up on the Tear Mender. Is this the stuff you use? amzn.to/2GG9Qnd I'll have to pick up a bottle to try it out. Cheers
First time I’ve seen that variation. Thanks! Seems easier to manage than wrapping the squirmy material around the hook and pulling over the bead or through it. I’ll have to try it out.
Scott, thanks for the comment, I agree, the squirm can be a little tough to tame, this one is definitely a little simpler than some of the others. Good luck at the vise, cheers
Keith, thanks. I could have explained things a little more in the video, but I use the 210d thread so I don't cut through. 70d can slice through it easily. Easy wraps on the first pass and then tighter. :) Cheers!
Dave, Yes, you can get some short strikes. If I run into that, I just cut down the tail a little. I usually tie them long and only cut them down if the fish require it. Cheers
Chimo, nice one Darren. It's just the right size for a half night crawler presentation ;o) perfect! I saw the thumbnail for this so I checked my g mail and there was a notification but it came up unavailable. Later I checked your uploads and there it was. Did you you redo it? I was thinking your stickers or deckles are so nice you should have sew on patches made. Cheers
Chimo Joe, I did get some magnets made with the logo. I'll keep an eye out for patches. It would be cool to run into one on the water one day. I made an error on the upload, but I was able to trim the original video and didn't need to upload. Just an extra 10 minutes of black at the end. lol trying to pad my watchtime, jk. Cheers
Great pattern variation. I’m new to fly tying and am looking forward to tying some of these and using them in the Texas Hill Country this spring.
Thanks Darren, great as usual.
Thanks Gary! Cheers
Thanks Darren, feels like forever! I'll have to give these a shot.
Jody, yes, it's been a while, Good luck, cheers

Nice variation on the pattern. Thanks for sharing.
Steve, thank you! Cheers!

Hey Darren,nice ty im going to have to try some of these thanks and tightlines.
Mike, thanks, good luck at the vise with these. Nice little worms for some colored water.
Love the pattern. I have some squirmy material and did not know how to use it until now. Hook is in the vise.

Very nice, thank you for sharing
Thank you Maurice! Cheers
Great pattern Darren . Going shopping for materials lol.
Ernie
Ernie, thanks! Good luck with the material hunt. Cheers
hi darren thanks for the video
Kyle, thank you! Cheers
Nice, I am going to try this one for sure.
Alan, thank you. I hope that you get a chance to tie and dunk a few. Cheers
was thinking about using this material for inline musky spinners. Doesn't look like you could double it over very easy.
ué o que aconteceu dos 6:40 para frente??? Muito bom o Vídeo!!!
Thanks, not sure why that happened, I'll have a look and re-upload this.
Obrigado pelo aviso, acho que foi consertado. Felicidades
Nice fly. Do you find that you get short strikes with the long tail?
Dave, Yes, you can get some short strikes. If I run into that, I just cut down the tail a little. I usually tie them long and only cut them down if the fish require it. Cheers
