I've tied half dz of these using a bead of thick uv cement. Will have to see how they do.

Fished a beaver dam below a class one and in the middle of a class 2 stream this year.. had some many monster brookies!! I was in love!

Soooo outdated technique

I tie a very similar fly using Mallard flank with a turn of grizzly in front as you use Grouse up to size 6 and I can confirm it is an excellent trout fly!

that has nothing to do with Dark Montreal

Great work, folks. Nice presentation, Ken.

Hi, is this a dry fly pattern ?

I make my spun deer hair bodies in a virtually identical manner and, in my experience, this results in the strongest deer hair body!

My eyes are still "straining" from watching this!!😂😂😂😂 Greetings from Iceland.

Hi. Excellent content. I really enjoyed this presentation. .... Its a shame many of the charts were out of focus. 😑 Cheers!

Great looking pattern.

Well done.

Maxine slipped off Don's back, floated through a set of class 5 rapids and went on to be raised by Sasquatch. She now haunts the east slopes of the crow.

Well done, very enjoyable. May I suggest substituting black EP Triggerpoint fibers for the calf tail you are using. Amazing stuff!

Soo buggy!👍🏻

Cheers Mikey from Ranger Bob.

Excellent!

Pool noodle - genius.

Macrame yard is a terrific material for drys. Floats like a cork and is very durable. I have tied this fly for years. and it works great. Thanks Don for this sharing this excellent fly.

Maybe Brian Chan is the angler who knows more about stillwater fishing.

“Now I build a nice taper.” - Good one!

I thought I saw one on the selway river

Awesomeness

hi brian , my nephew caught a 24 inch brown trout on your pattern , he is happy with fly i tied for him just last fall , 2021 , keep tying , vern , love your patterns i use a silver lined red bead found at a quilt store ,

Can I imagine you tying a real tough lie it would be an hour long video

OMG are you serous stop talking and bullshitting and just do th video

Togen's Great Place to shop , Good people Great Products and prices.

I snorkel the Pembina all the time and have never seen vis like this! Where is this area roughly?

How did you "make" the dub-wire?Hmm... musta missed that part🤔? Thanks!

Looks like a great fly. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to ty some of those.

dang that many white fish

Hey Phil, great stuff sir been learning a lot from your videos! What brand are your nippers?

This fly produces consistently for me anchored and under an indicator, or trolling on a sink tip or full sink line. Excellent versatile pattern for searching a new lake

Have you experimented with gluing the rabbit strips together? and my favorite color pattern is olive white. This works for predatory trout anywhere.

Nice video. An olive version of this fly with a black tungsten bead has caught many fish for me this fall.

Amazing. thanks for sharing. Have you ever use this fly in a drop shot set up targeting wall eye in the winter?

That bead is too big for that size of hook, it’s masking the gape.

classic fly caught many rainbow and brook trout with it

I have been here and i did not see that my fish probably all died of water pollution.

Brian you do the fishing, and leave the tying to John Kent.

nice fly and vid

Brian just tie the fly man, we all have fish to catch dude.

Excellant fly and video. When you use mono line to make eyes try 40 lb mono it works better. Also when using needle to make double 6 lb mono to pull piece of mono thru fly. This way fly head will not be torn up.

Brian Chan is the man. Thanks for the video.

What a monstrous fly... 👍 👍 👍 😂

too much time spent doing things off camera

Anyone willing to sell some size #32 hooks?

What an amazing tiny fly

Always great stuff from Brian and Philip, have taught me a ton !👍

this is a great video, I've been chasing some picky fish on a local pond. I'm going to tie a few of these and put them to the test. I'll let you know how they work. Thanks for the video.
