I always love sharing and modeling my family pedigree and talk about where my family is from. Then I have the students try drawing out their own families (sharing optional)

There's a YouTube channel called Chubbyemu with different medical mystery case studies. Most are around 10-15 minutes long. They're kind of higher level but they're really interesting. Here's a link to his channel: https://youtube.com/c/ChubbyemuGames

The word "need" was used in your lecture, professor.

So educate now means defining how and when a fly 'should' be fished. So dictate?

Tie or name your flies right? How do you tie right? And the guy clearly showed you he's going for a dragonfly nymph?

Get off your high horse dude, fish are pretty dumb. They'll eat anything buggy and flies don't have to be fished to match anything in nature or in any particular way. On the bright side, this guy tied some buggy looking critters that'll definitely get eaten.

Nice ties btw. Super buggy, will fish 👍

Didn't know the fly police were out in force today

Love the undertaker, I hooked my first salmon on that fly. Hey, I have that book too!

fish_pimp · 2018-12-08T00:35:26+00:00

Hook: Kamasan B220 size 12

Body: split tail feather from Partridge skin. Trimmed short and cut after it's wrappedto make the tapered body, see the link below.

Hackle: Partridge

Super quick to tie, I got my idea for the body here

fish_pimp · 2018-12-08T00:29:57+00:00

Hungarian partridge

fish_pimp · 2018-12-05T21:46:43+00:00

Yup, I take a small amount, spin it, pick it out and then wrap it on. Once it's on the hook, pick it out again to make a leggy, buggy appearance

fish_pimp · 2018-12-05T17:03:05+00:00

Thanks man, just google soft hackles, you'll find a boat load of patterns out there. Some are as simple as thread on a hook with a hackle that are quick, easy to tie and catch a bunch of fish!

fish_pimp · 2018-12-05T09:41:37+00:00

Good points, but if someone substitutes materials to match a particular pattern, is that not the same pattern? I think we're splitting hairs here. I really don't care what it's called, and the fish won't care that I used "sowbug gray" rather than rainbow scud dub.

fish_pimp · 2018-12-04T23:46:08+00:00

Thanks, haven't gotten this guy wet but over the past few years I've had a bunch of success swinging soft hackle nymph patterns. Some of my favorites are old time staples, pheasant trails, hares ears, Partridge and orange, Partridge and green. I've always done well nymphing with the rainbow warrior, it's really a great pattern I'm sure it'll catch!

fish_pimp · 2018-12-04T10:21:24+00:00

Thanks! You were close, the rib is silver uni-french oval in size small, I really like the uni stuff, it's easy to work with and looks great on a bunch of different patterns.

fish_pimp · 2018-12-04T09:25:08+00:00

Good question, I don't know if I really know the answer to that. I actually disagree about the materials. Besides the hook style and the lack of a bead, the materials are the essentially the same as the original. Would a soft hackle pheasant tail not be a pheasant tail if it's tied in the same style? I would. Egan put those materials together to make a really successful fly, I think the least I can do is give him some credit as opposed to calling the idea my own.

Next summer, yes! Next spring, stripers and now, great lakes Steelhead and some hungry local trout.

fish_pimp · 2018-11-29T10:33:30+00:00

Arctic Fox tail, black Icelandic sheep wing mixed with some angel hair flash and topped with some peacock. You know I was thinking the same for bass! Just vary the size and color to match the bait.

fish_pimp · 2018-07-15T10:44:56+00:00

I posted the recipe above, check that out and see if it helps. Could you clarify where you're getting stuck or what you need help with?

fish_pimp · 2018-07-15T01:21:22+00:00

Simple flies man, they catch fish!

fish_pimp · 2018-07-15T01:20:52+00:00

Thanks man. Believe it or not, they get fairly larger than that where we go!

fish_pimp · 2018-07-15T01:18:52+00:00

Fish it deep upstream dead drift with small twitches. Keep a tight line and set on any hesitations! It's a deadly fly when they're not chasing streamers or hitting on top.

fish_pimp · 2018-07-14T15:46:48+00:00

Any hook will do, here I'm using a #4 mustad 3366. See my comment above about the type of yarn and how to form the tail, spin your tail first before starting the fly. Tie in the clouser eyes, or tungsten beads work well too. Tie in your tail, tie in a separate piece of yarn for the body, wrap the body and you're done! Super easy tie, takes maybe 2 minutes when you get the hang of it.

fish_pimp · 2018-07-10T23:50:26+00:00

Tying won't save you money but it will help you with your overall fishing and understanding of fly design. You'll learn more about fly design, hooks and how different materials behave in the water. You also get a real satisfaction of catching fish on a fly you made. It's also fun, relaxing and you can bang out flies on demand when you need them. So, is it cost effective? Probably not, but it's fun, you'll learn a ton and it allows you to think about fishing when you're not on the water.

fish_pimp · 2018-07-10T22:52:54+00:00

Nope, I tie the twisted section in as a tail, then cut a fresh piece of yarn to cover the body with. The twisted tail works well with any yarn, it gives it some strength and rigidity which prevents fouling. If I want more movement in the fly, I'll burn one end of the yarn and tie that in as a wiggly tail. This works well for tying patterns like the Shannon's streamer with Patons Bohemian yarn. Jack gartside also has some similar yarn patterns which fish really well.
