Thanks Michael! I always enjoy the underwater footage. I have a test-tank that I use a lot but it doesn't replace in-the-lake testing with fly line, leader and tippet. I like the flat-wings the best. They look sparce when dry but fill out beautifully in the water. The Blonds look OK dry but they are (to my personal preference) much too stiff and full when wet. Flies that "jig" do catch fish but most of my streamers are balanced to sink horizontally with a bit of tension on the line. Mind, I always have Clousers in the box and fish them aggressively but my usual approach mimics the small fish you have in the video - slow, short strips followed by a pause to rest on the bottom. Could I ask that you feature some of Bob Popovics hollow-tie and bulk-head streamers in an underwater video. I think that a lot of freshwater fishermen are not familiar with Bob's style of flies (or should I say "fleyes" :) ) and it might be of interest. Cheers!
@MichaelJensensAngling2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Hank. I love the Blonde flies, since I've caugth a lot of fish on those. The flatwings are more elegant, though. I will get around to the hollow-tie and a lot of other Popovics'-techniques - Since I am really digging into the Popovics' books and style at the moment. Thanks for the tip. Cheers, Michael :0)

Super job Mike! Great vid. I really like how those Flatwings ride a little higher in the water column before dropping (not quite as jiggy). Surprised the Whistler didn't run hook point up with the beadchain eyes on top of the shank (hook is keeling it). Runs good though. I like whistlers too.
@MichaelJensensAngling2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your feedback buddy. Yeah, it needs larger beadchain eyes or dumbbells to counterbalance that hook. Cheers, Michael :0)

Love your underwater stuff. They're all great, but I've only tied and fished 3 for fly and/or spin fishing. All have (depending on weight, retrieve style, current, how tied, etc) different profiles and sink rates. That Honey B. had a deep sunfish profile, on a fast strip it turned slightly to one side then recovered when stopped, cool injured look. Of the four B's I like the Argentine the best for it's bait fish profile and action, the Strawberry second, both for visibility. The Clouser, the Jiggy, both patterned, more or less, after the universal jig, 'nuff said. The Deceiver style speaks for itself, wonderful action whatever retrieve you use with that feather tailed bucktail streamer. I have no experience fishing the salt, from what I've seen they're hook at the head flies. Most of the stuff I tie has the hook at the center or near the tail, for when the fish are just nipping or strike short. But I gotta tell you, that Whistler's slow drop with an action tail is awesome (it sort of looks like a squid :o/) And does it really whistle when cast? And the Seaducer has a nice round bait fish profile and awesome action. So I'll be crossing over with those two, never tied before, salty snacks! Michael, what's the connection between Rhodes and Brooks on the Blondes? I have Brooks' Trout Fishing, can't recall any reference to Rhodes. Thanks Michael & Ulla, very informative as well as beautiful video!!! :o)
@MichaelJensensAngling2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Joe. I am inpressed by your close observations. I tie the Blonde in a slim and baitfish-like style and in a fat shrimp/crawdad style - just as you noticed. Oh yeah, the Whistler has a slow drop, that is very squid imitating. Brooks kind of gave Rhodes credit in the early years, but not so much in his later books. Brooks was the guy who came up with the sexy names, and a lot of the different color combos. Here is an statement from Col. Bates book: "This pattern (the Blonde) was originated in the late 1940s by Homer Rhode, Jr. for tarpon, and was then called the Homer Rhode, Jr., Tarpon Bucktail. Homer and Joe Brooks and I used it in the 1950s and 1960s in Florida for several saltwater species. Joe became so entranced it its success that he renamed the type and wrote about it extensively under names such as the Strawberry Blonde, Platinum Blonde, and others which will be described. They sometimes were referred to as the Brooks blondes, but Joe disclaimed that because, while he popularized the series, he didn’t originate it." Cheers, Michael :0)

A bit late in this thread, but could you indicate how the flies were moved? Short line or as in a fishing situation? I could imagine that there will be a delay in the movement when stripping line in comparison to short line movement which is much more direct. Great footage though! Thanks for sharing

Hi Alex. Ulla and I are ok. Last year was, as you know, a bit challenging. My father and my uncle died shortly after one another. After that, my work as a freelance media consultant and copywriter, demanded my full attention for a while - still does to some extent. And with two KZbin channels running as well (i have a aquarium channel too), I needed to sort out my priorities. That's why the angling channel has been out of my focus for a while. Come spring... I feel confident, that we will be back with new stuff. Thanks for your concern my friend, and all the best wishes for you and you family. Cheers, Michael :0)

Those are not real flatwings, they are constructed wrong they dont swim that way. I've sat with Kenny and tied them next to him also fished with him, not sure why your flatwings are swimming that way. They are also designed for fishing in flowing water like you did for the lefty's deceiver. Upon looking at your flaywing design your hackle is supposed to be tied at the rear of the hook with bucktail and a curved hackle under your the flat saddle hackle, maybe the reason they don't swim as designed. The hackles should be swimming side to side like a fish.
@MichaelJensensAngling5 ай бұрын
You are probably right. Me versions of the Flatwing are scalede down a bit, to mach fishing for sea run browns in my area. So they are considerably smaller. Thanks for the added info. Cheers, Michael :0)
