This'll be perfect in my lily pads Thanks Martyn

Nice! I just started tying a tarpon slider for our laid up tarpon. First time spinning up deer hair. Will be interested to see how I can improve it.

Love it !!!

Black deer hair and black marabou tail tied on b175 size 12 perfect for trout tadpole season 👌

Nice one Martyn 👍

Super feeling❤

Really like how you tie this

Love it. I used to lash it with a bobbin. never thought of just superglue. Much more seamless

G’morning Martyn. Looks like I’ll learn a bit from this series already. I’ve also made leg pullers from broken bobbin threaders, but the needle will work much better. Cool.

Simple but effective! Tight lines🐜🕷️👍!!!!!!

Size 13-19 hook size? What country is that from?????

Lots of information there, but I know spinning and stacking deer hair can be intimidating. Thanks for sharing your insight.

Thanks for the very useful advice Much Appreciated !

oooh yes I love stacking hair!

Excellent demo video.. Will be tying groups of these Raghead crabs on my next sessions on the vise. Thanks, 😁 t

thanks Martyn, another one for my tackle fly box....

liking to view your fly tying....

thanks Martyn...nice fly

thanks martyn..nice fly

Thanks!

Great video! Thanks a lot for getting me going on this technique.

Where is this in Okinawa?

Hi Martyn, great video thanks. I've just subscribed. I hadn't seen the ethafoam ball tied that way before. Do you think there are any pros / cons in the ball type pattern like this as opposed to the top hat design where the foam seems to sit right down in the surface film?

I fish a lot of wire for toothy fish. I’ve adopted the improved overhand loop knot at the fly end and the perfection loop at the line end. Both of those leave the tag ends facing away from the direction of stripping. I’ve found that greatly reduces the amount of sea grass, etc. that gets fouled on the wire knots.

Sensacional o seu trabalho.

Very nice 👍

Good looker

Wow

Thanks!

Please stop the bobin from squeaking😂. Like nails on a chalk board

Really like this…👏👏

This pattern is one of the most effective in my fly box. Tied size 20 represents the Trico / Gnats extremely well. So far i have been fishing it mornings since early Spring into Summer, could be very effective year round, don't know yet. Top Notch Thanks for the lesson.

It’s was very useful to see that tippet ring and how you tied it in place . A beautifully tied fly. Thank you for sharing

Hey, Martyn. Great video, and great rendition of the Rhody Flatwing. I knew Bill Peabody. He was an absolute gentleman and as a fly tier probably didn’t get the recognition he deserved in his day. I’m glad people like you are keeping his work alive for the times. He was also very generous. He gave me, among other things, an industrial-size spool of his pearl Bodi Braid. If you give me your mailing address in Japan I’d be happy to send you some. Take care.

See you’ve not lost yer Ayrshire twang, Naj. Think this size flea is ideal for pike too

Morsie is a great fly fisherman as well

That'll tease the redfish here in Texas, Thanks Martyn

Tie it in black and purple , canal, spillway or night bridge juvy tarpon will eat that for sure

Great pattern, I'm going to use that plastic bag trick. Thank you.

Great pattern. LOVE working rabbit strips into my flies and always good to see a twist on a classic.

I can tie that one also

Very nice and beautiful

Nice tie m8, what would you fish that for Jack's etc?

Clean, tough, pretty, and effective !!! Thanks 😁

Could you use the liquid fusion under the popper head for saltwater version??

Do you fish the quarry ville pool or the cains river?
