It does give a very different effect yes. Try tying one of each and put them side by side. You’ll notice right away! Great question tho! Thanks for watching.
This is NOT a scud hook , it an eye down curved nymph hook. I'm running low on size 12 so I went with a size 14 and a 2.0mm dark olive bead. I fish a lot of still waters now that I'm in my 70's ( I live in AB.) we do have a lot of chironomids in our waters as well as scuds(fresh water shrimp). It's late fall here now but I'll tye some up for next spring. Thanks for all the patterns .Tight Lines everybody.
No one said it was a scud hook. In fact, if you watch the video you will hear that it is a Daiichi 1760. However, if you'd like to tie it on a scud hook you can ... we have, and it works fine! :)
Nice big. Always a pleasure to watch you tie. RP
Glad you enjoy it!
Looks like a smasher !
Can confirm it is! :)
Beauty!!
Thanks dude🤘🏻
Do chironmids work as well in tea coloured lakes like we have in Ontario.
They work very well in our local tea coloured lakes so I'm certain they would work as well there! :)
Why do you use body quill instead of normal thread when you’re going to use resin anyway? Does it give a different effect?

Nice pattern! Do you ever tie it on a scud hook?
Yes sometimes!

A new vise!!??
Sweet patern. What kind of glue are you using?
Krazy glue
Hahah. 👍
So was that a 12 or 14 ? Just curious I'm going to start with a 12
#12
Where do you get the body quill? Thanks
Most fly shops carry it, made by veevus. Olive buzzer wrap can give you the same look and you can find that through Canadian Llama🍻
Big gill guy.
Huh?
What kind of glue? Almost looks like regular super glue
krazy glue
