For the life of me, being very open minded. I can not in any way see how anyone would give this ty a thumbs down ! ??? It's not overly complicated ( an I am a beginner tying at 63), materials are popular, tying procedure is right on and the finished fly is one I will definatly do because it's well worth having in your box !! IMHO
If I had to guess I'd say it's all the flash... it's a 50/50 battle for people in my neck-o-the-woods on either a lot of flash or little to no flash... I'm impartial but people can be really ritualistic about this kind of stuff
Nice looking fry. I wish there were a transparent EP fiber. It lasts longer than Ice dub. No fly lasts forever, so this is a great looking little fry. All the best, Sean
+Sean Mooney I have a transparent-ish type version of EP fiber. Well its not EP, its something else that I sell. The problem is with EP, or even the "super fiber" I sell is that it doesn't move in the water the same way (on smaller baits like this), and its not as flashy. But the stuff I sell is super durable, and most of the colors are see though (there are a few that are not). I actually use these fibers to make something close to a surf candy, and it is very clear with hints of color. Nice thing is that I have 40 colors to choose from with that, so I can make a huge variety of baits. Yes, Ice dub does get destroyed after a few fish, however this is a fairly easy fly to tie, so you can bring 10+ with you. If fish destroy all 10 in one fishing trip, then you had a great trip! HAHA
@@McFlyAngler that‘s what I was thinking… I brought 15 of your pattern to Los Roques and after 30 days of fishing has no fry imitation left. Only bare hooks after the respective numbers of bonefish
Hy, Im fom Chile and I think your. Jocb is awesome. I been watching many of your videos and I have the material to the flies, but what I dont have is that kind of epoxy glues just normal head cement and super glue...It is posible to tye them whit the normal epoxyes like clear poxipol by example???? Please if you read this try to help me about it. Thanks!!!
I dont know what clear poxipol is, but im sure most epoxy will work. Super glue as well, or even 5 minute epoxy for this specific fly would work great as well. Just they tend to be a little tougher to work with you know?
For sure, but that is a big if... HAHA Ive only been to Mexico outside of the US. Travel is expensive, and with 2 kids, even harder to find time to go.
I am sorry to hear that. I don't know if there are many types of ice dubbing. If you want to private message me your email address I can send a picture of the type I have.
Thank you for the kind words. I bought my UV resin at "the hook and the hackle" here is a link to their UV resin's. They carry many brands, the brand I use thought is Solarez. store.hookhack.com/UV-Cure-Head-Cement/products/1343/
+Ted Haas not sure if you meant "redundant"... but I understand what your trying to say. I mean, yes if you are fishing for smaller fish, then a smaller hook is important. But some larger fish do still eat small bait occasionally and having a larger hook like this helps to keep them pinned. I tied this specifically for bass actually. And some largemouth bass need to be drug out of the weeds, the larger hook helps keep it from ripping out. That's the intention. Buy by all means, tie it in a smaller hook if you don't need to do what I tied it for. I've tied it really small, for trout and what not.
I feel like this will be deadly during our Texas sandy run. A lot of days they'll eat anything in front of their face, but on those days they won't.......
+Brody Burnham No your right, it does flair out a little more in the water, I didnt have a lot of time in the video to explain that... If you want it too look exact, just epoxy a bit further up the hook. But that almost becomes the same as a gummy minnow in a way. I like that the fibers can flow a bit in the water, will attract more fish in my opinion and experience. It does look really good though being epoxied up the hook, and adding a bit of flashabou lateral scale for the lateral line, almost like a surf candy if you have ever seen those? However, I like the movement of having the fibers flow a bit more.
This is the best looking minnow fly I’ve seen
Thank you
Going to try this pattern , looks great
Thanks

Lol thanks! Yeah there are always a few people that don’t like things. Can’t please everyone all of the time I guess. Glad you like it though! :)

Beautiful looking fry imitation , thank you for demonstrating.
Glad you liked it. :).
Great video. Your instructions are very easy to follow.
Thank you. My new videos have been better, check some of them out.
Looks very nice! Exellent work. Will tie one and fish for baltic seatrout.
Thank you! Yeah, should work for them. Maybe a slightly smaller hook, use like a size 1 or 2...

Gorgeous: Thank you!

If you think come to Chile let me kbow maybe we can go an fish together...
For sure, but that is a big if... HAHA Ive only been to Mexico outside of the US. Travel is expensive, and with 2 kids, even harder to find time to go.
I must have the wrong kind of ice dubbing. the fibers of mine are way too short to form a body even on a size 10 hook, and they all just fall out.
I am sorry to hear that. I don't know if there are many types of ice dubbing. If you want to private message me your email address I can send a picture of the type I have.
Mc. Fly Lures I ended up ordering a bunch of dubbing material from the fly tyers dungeon. I think mine is better suited for dry flies or small nymphs.
Hi there, nice video, I love it. But I do not know where to order the UV glue. Can you tell me ?
Thank you for the kind words. I bought my UV resin at "the hook and the hackle" here is a link to their UV resin's. They carry many brands, the brand I use thought is Solarez. store.hookhack.com/UV-Cure-Head-Cement/products/1343/
You can also get it on amazon
A 1/0 is redundant for that fly. A #2 is plenty big enough and even a #4 or 6 for smaller flies. Nice tie tho!

But it looks great!
Anyone used this to catch LMB or SMB ??
Nice
Thanks
Nice fry pattern will this work for rainbow trout.i have a load off lite Brit’s will that work tight lines
Thank you. If fishing trout with this, use a smaller hook. Haha
I feel like this will be deadly during our Texas sandy run. A lot of days they'll eat anything in front of their face, but on those days they won't.......
My buddy loves fishing these for reds and speckled trout in the late fall, when they are targeting glass minnows. Of course a beefed up hook
I need these in size 8....
I can tie them up for you, send me a message on Instagram for details
It might not look the same in the water.
