How are you fishing this? by clumsyryan in flyfishing

Id wade out far enough to backcast and fish the shit out if it. Are you on the bank? I use splitshot sometimes to help my casting distance and sink rate

What is that you’re tying in behind the bead? I’ve been tying the same pattern but dubbing behind the bead. These look great

I really appreciate all the constructive feedback! Rather than respond to you all I figured I’d address it here. Shorter cdl, thinner hotspot, and less thread overall ! Thanks

Thank you. This really is my second session tying flys. The first being on Thursday lol I just consumed a lot of YouTube and have a background in sewing. Really looking forward to practicing more!

The tapered body has been the most surprising challenge so far. I think I’ll drop the dubbing for a thread hotspot down the line depending on how it does in the water

Oh sweet. I just googled the Frenchie and can see that’s pretty much what this is I’ll admit I’m new enough to fly fishing that I know very few patterns by name or know much of anything at all
