Love this fly ma man! Evening tie in my view here 'across the pond - fishing rivers and streams in Colorado'. Ohhh yeah, that super-buggy black silhouette (indicator) on the blinding dark-chrome water surface. Small , 12ish and thin to win me thinks - lethal fer sure. Also can't thank you enough for the old school materials - animal, tinsel, a hook and wife's nail polish.

👍

Great video very helpful. Cheers

Pity you fried the resin,you can see puffs of smoke coming off,you dont want that

Cracking patterns Lindsay is your ears recovered from AC/DC yet 😂😂

Excellent tutorials 👌

Where is it ?

The long format fishing videos will always be the most loved. However the costs in time, the extra work, hours in post production and editing is substantial. The vice vlogs in short, medium, long format, along with combinations of and the live feeds all add so much to the depth of your channel. We all thank you for it. Two points to this one possum is an underrated material be it natural or dyed. Easy to use, with the combination of textures and length that give a very buggy look. Especially as seals fur is becoming soo much harder to source. Twisting the peacock herl with the nano thread, gives an effect of both durability without the flash from ribbing with wire, tinsel, or monofilament. A win win solution.

Three hackles!?! Id never have thought of that! Beautiful fly i need to find the recipe! Thanks Lindsay!

You’re

👍👍👍. Question for you Lindsay. Ive just bought a sinking line brand new and it has a sticky oily feel to it. I contacted the seller and he said that his overseas customers prefer it like that but i can wash it off or get a refund. Ive had sinking lines before but my last 2 from different suppliers have had this same sticky feel to them. What you think ? Cheers.

👍

Forgive my ignorance. But what's the difference between having a worm hooked onto the hook and doing this artistic baits.

Lindsay great job brother! I would have never thought of coloring the thread like that to creat the illusion of ribbing!

With almost every damsel Nymph that works the key addition seems to be that touch of blue. Even the ole Dawsons olive has that blue throat hackle. Yes many of the adults are blue. Have not seen blue on any actual nymphs. But the trout as ever have that final say and hone in on the blue.

An alternate for the buzzer wrap is white uv floss or a few strands of crystal flash twisted before you add a drop of resin to the floss with a needle of fine brush then blast it with uv light before adding the hackle.

I like the look of that might knock a few up for summer fishing.

I find that the holographic collar can be changed to suit conditions and or venue. Green for Bewl. Orange, silver, or purple for other waters. One I like to use in dull and overcast conditions. Holo black is soo subtle as the understated hot spot. Even when using spiders and pennells. The addition of collar just behind a small herl or dubbing thorax gives a hint of the cruncher, Muskins vibe. A much smaller footprint during periods when the fish are focused on tiny midge. Not overly large with that little extra touch to draw attention from the fish.

I am in the US. SE PA to be exact. I can attest to this fly. It works in different sizes and weights. My favorite is a 16 with a slightly heavier bead than normal. I tied this up after seeing Cory tie it. Been watching and learning from his channel for a while now, just like i do here. Cheers!

One of the first and still effective shrimp or killer shrimp patterns. With their spread they are a major protein source in many even the smaller waters. The tail floss can be pink, peach, orange, amber, or I like to add a mix of pale pink with amber to achieve an effect like the fruit salad sweet.

I fancy myself in tying extra small jig nymphs and using way oversized beads. I feel it gives me a great mental advantage especially when fishing behind others on the stream or lake. Even on high pressured stillwaters it allows me to catch a few extra fish. Thank you!!!!!

Man I’m enjoying going through the older tying videos. I had to comment on this fly. I tie this exact one and I tie it with a copper bead and a nickel bead. When tied with a light brown thread and rib it with a matte white wire it’s a killer fly too. Thanks!!

I swear I created one of these a few years back with Polly fill from my couch, some sewing thread, and some of my little sisters doll hair🤣

Great fly and Cory is the man when it comes to nymphing. He really explains things well. I’ve learned a lot from him. I love a good jack Daniel’s 🥃

One thing to do if your stripped quills are older or starting become brittle. Just put a small amount of a lanolin based hand cream or hair conditioner on your finger tips draw the quill or herl along the length. After about 5/10 mins wipe excess off with kitchen roll. They will be pliable and flexible for a few years.

They are great both on river and small stillwaters down to 18 even 20. The blend with even 5% of a different shade or some hares mask make the difference the bead can also be coloured gold, copper, brass, silver or black.

I almost expected this one as a wee double with ice dubbing. 😂 Seriously patterns like this especially in the smaller sizes not only attract interest from trout and grayling. Often they tempt the larger and more established fish. With roach, dace, chub even barbel as bonus sport.

How about a Scottie products vice

How about lyndsey goes fly fishing for pike

Beautifully done, Lindsay! They are going to be good to you. Thank you for the shout-out. Tight lines, my friend!

Then change the stupid clickbait! Dislike...

Could I ask what reel you used?

Almost from day one as these came out I came up with my own twist that served me well. After the thread just add the rib be it monofilament, copolymer, a thin cut plastic sheet, thin tinsel, or wire. No poly yarn yet. Add a thin dubbing noodle of a blend of seals fur for the required shade/mix. Wind to 2/3 or 3/4. Add the rib. Now add the poly yarn so it is at head and rear of thorax. The rear poly yarn double as wing buds. Now add the same or darker blend of seals fur or add some natural hares mask or squirrel to the thorax blend wind on the thorax slightly heavier than the body. Whip finish with a drop of resin. Lightly brush the thorax. Cut the rear breathers short. Job done. The fly will sit slightly tail down in the water both fished on or under the surface. Just add a small amount of Hunts or Gink to the head breather. It also works with a thread, floss, tinsel, film, as in VHS video tape. Or with a stripped quill body.

Deadly fly on Glencorse rsv

what does it supposed to represent?

Hello from NJ, USA. Great little pattern there, that thing will catch fish just about everywhere. Very buggy and suggestive imitation of a nymph. I think your method of attaching the breathers can be adapted to create spinner wings and posts as well. Thanks for showing me something new and different. Cheers

Great video@

Lindsay Lindsay, why do you twist the tail flash?

Thank you very interesting video .

Top review as always Lindsay 👌. Quick question on drift fishing from a boat, what lenth of rope do you use on your drouge ropes?

I am definitely adopting sproget as an official term. Great video and great review.

IMHO your first session on the dog when early afternoon you had a few hours solo. That shot from the drone overhead of you in the boat was the only shot of yours that rivals it is the fly past shot of the chapel at Rutland. Please do not sell yourself short my friend your achievements during your journey and love of the fly. You have earned both Army, veterans, and National caps. In major competitions. Both Stillwater and rivers. In many parts of the world. You worked hard to build your skillsets. Justly earning the respect of your peers. Remember John Knott during the Falklands conflict. His definition of expert. “Ex” is a has been. Spurt is a drip under pressure. The combination of your two favourite things the fly and photography along with you just being the all round good guy you are. That is why we watch your content.

A couple of personal twists that worked for me. Treat the top hat the same as you would as per a fab. Spilt the foam forwards of the dressing to give extra buoyancy. With an extra touch add either folds of glow bright floss or Antron yarn under the post. As an extra visual indicator. In front and inbetween the split foam.

nice video lindsay nice rod aswell..ive just splashed out on a stillmaniac 10f weight 7. cant wait for it to arrive..

Lindsay don't beat yourself up about the quality of the video. I look forward to the Kitkat cup videos every year. They are brilliant. Very informative and funny as well. One question if you don't mind. When fishing the "nearly fly" on the Lake did you have a team of 4 flies on a sink-tip line with booby on the point or was it some other set up? I'm going to the Lake next week and I'm keen to try the fly. Many Thanks.

Great review Lindsay lot of information and knowledge imparted to us well done 👍👍👍

U mentioned Rhys but not seen any content on his channel for months…is he ok?

"Sproget" is a word now fella. xD

Got a link for the foam your using
