- This video details the tying sequence for Dave Goulet's Moby Dick Fly pattern. This is a modern classic pattern, that came from the northeast and has been fished for decades, but is probably lesser known by many abroad. Take a look inside and see how to tie this simple yet highly effective pattern.
A lot of us owe Dave a bit of gratitude and I miss sitting in the Classic and Custom shop talking with him over a cup of coffee while he tied. He always had time for me and a lot of great advise for the local rivers and for my love of my north country wanderlust salmon trips, I fished Novia Scotia for many years chasing my love for Salmo Salar and always shared my experiences with him while he was sharing his knowledge with me. I know he helped many other people getting started in the fly fishing business.
Yes Rich, very classic looking fly. I'm glad you said Picket Pin because I couldn't think of a specific pattern. That wing reminds me of a lot of New England patterns too. I had to do a search of Goulet and his flies, I really like Moby Dick, and he did salmon flies too!?! A lot of forums paid him tributes. He was quite the man, over a million flies tying commercially I think I read, plus all the other things you mentioned. Sounds like he was similar to Fran Betters. Well thanks Rich, very inspiring and informative as always, looking forward to this series.
Excellent demo, Rich. Will tie.
Thank you Dennis, I hope to continue to broaden the spectrum of flies on this channel and appreciate all who follow.
Love the old school classic ties,west coast anglers have a similar pattern called a Sheep Creek Special,very productive in both still & moving water,tight lines & bent rods 🤙
Nice traditional fly. Down here in the Great Smoky Mountains we have a similar nymph called the secret weapon. Thanks for posting your videos. I live in NC, the unfortunate home of the Mop fly and the Squirmy. I wish these young guys had more interest in tying flies that are effective for wild trout.
Well, although Dave would say that times have certainly changed, some for the better and some for the worse, a lot of the "old school" designs are still very relevant today. We should all get to know them better, as not only is it neat to turn back the clock and look and fish these types of flies, but it also shows you just how much things have evolved today with what we now have for materials to work with.
I have used this pattern trolling, works well
I have been getting out a lot but I also been tying like crazy filling orders. My wrist is getting sore from cranking so many out
Going to tie this and show it to some Stillwater bass and see what they think
Rich, this can be fished as a wet also? Going to give a try tying it
Anthony Urbano absolutely
