Thanks to this sub for suggesting Charlie’s fly box for how-to vids. The Venture Fly Co videos have also been a great resource for a beginner such as myself and would highly recommend!

How to tie?

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

The nymph changer has a really buggy body, how would you tie that? I can’t seem to get it right with squirrel or hare in a dubbing loop. It just gets brushed out into long strands and falls out.

The two tone changer: is this tied like an EP baitfish; clumps tied on top and bottom, or is there some technique to get top/bottom contrast with the chenille wraps?

Any good videos of making these resin tails like on the gamechanger?

Love the eyes

Love the look of this dumbbell eye. I didn’t used to care if they had pupils or not but I think it looks much better with one. Fish probably don’t care one way or another

Premium bucktail

• Upvotes

I'm tying a fly order that is mostly big stuff for Canadian Pike and Musky, including some 10" long flies like Popovic's Beast and Double Bufords. I'm thinking I'm going to want the high-end bucktail for this. Since Primo Tail is no longer available, my next choice is Musky Fool's MF-A grade hair, but it's out of stock at present. I've been looking at Marabou Bros. "El Presidente" grade. Does anyone know if one of these is superior to the other, or if there's another brand I should be considering that I don't know about?

I don't live anywhere near a fly shop that would carry stuff like this, so it's going to have to be ordered online.

Has anyone tried these ?

I was going to get some as stocking stuffers for my brother in law and dad but I was just wondering how the material is

Or if I should just buy material and hooks as is

Relaxing UV chenille, tips?

1 Upvotes

I’ve got 4 colors of uv polar chenille I’m working with and it seems almost like a toss up on the fiber composition. The white i have lays totally flat out of the bag. The olive does similarly. But the purple and black are a snarly mess. Is there a way to relax the material at all? I don’t think it will mess with the end product, but the stray fibers are messy to look at

Ned Rig Fly

I’m taking a trip to Orlando in a couple weeks and the Airbnb we’re staying at has a bass pond in the backyard. One of my favorite conventional bass rigs is a ned rig so I found this pattern from erickclymore on ig and decided to tie up a few for the trip.
