Fly Tying - Daysaver Baetis With Brian Hilbert

[@brian.c.hilbert]

Thanks for letting me tie this pattern! Hopefully it brings everyone success!

[@AnglersCovey]

We appreciate you doing the video! Great pattern!

[@jaredgoodson4706]

Looks awesome. Thanks for making this video. Can’t wait to tie some up.

I just watched this again, and wanted to point out your emphasis to minimize the thread wraps. GUILTY!! That is a great reminder to not overdo it, thanks for taking the time to show that you only need one wrap.

[@AnglersCovey]

Thank you Alan for watching and pointing out a great tip!

[@brian.c.hilbert]

Thanks for pointing that out Alan!

[@alanbigcheesehautly5009]

Great fly Brian, hope all is well. Will be putting some of these in the box this weekend.

[@brian.c.hilbert]

Thank you Alan! Appreciate you watching! Looking forward to our Wyoming trip in the spring!

[@nicholascapson9376]

Tried and true in Wyoming and Colorado! Solid pattern and very durable! Excellent work Mr Hilbert!

[@AnglersCovey]

Thank you for watching Nick! This fly seems to catch fish everywhere!

Thanks 🎉 BRI !!!!! ✨🎣💫

[@AnglersCovey]

Thank you for watching!

If this isn't in the Umpqua catalog for 2024 it should be. Killer pattern.

[@AnglersCovey]

It might be in the works!

[@bobhammond8067]

Very nice. I appreciate your tips!!

[@AnglersCovey]

Thank you for watching Bob!

[@jdigioia1130]

Thanks for sharing this pattern today! Definitely going to give it a try in the coming days. 🎣

[@AnglersCovey]

Thank you for watching! We hope it brings you success!

[@jdigioia1130]

Man, is it me, or is working with the Fluoro Fiber difficult, especially creating the legs?? 🤕

[@AnglersCovey]

@@jdigioia1130 definitely feel your pain. Practice makes perfect!

[@brian.c.hilbert]

@@jdigioia1130 what size are you tying? Start getting used to tying in larger sizes before going down to 22. Like any material, it takes practice!

[@jdigioia1130]

@brian.c.hibert #20 I may have a few too many fibers as well?! Thanks!

[@JohnWinters-h9y]

j winters Wow! I love this pattern Brian. So many flies I use come apart after the first or second fish, and this fly, as you said, will last, and last!! I am a beginning fly tier, but I think I can handle this one!! So many wonderful tips about rotating the thread, less thread wraps to hold material. Everything! I learned so much! Thank you.

[@AnglersCovey]

Glad you enjoyed! This is definitely a durable pattern and is tried and true on some of Colorado’s toughest trout!

[@almoschetti5503]

Nice tie Brian, it works in the west and what is your thoughts out east in Pa. I think I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing

[@AnglersCovey]

Will definitely work anywhere you have small mayflies

[@DancesWithFlies]

Have you ever added a bead or do you fish it as a dropper or with shot. Just wonder about getting it deep where I imagine it would be a killer too.

[@brian.c.hilbert]

I usually use this in tandem with a weighted nymph or with split shot. You can certainly tie out with a bead but can be difficult in smaller sizes

[@branzcohoon]

100% over tie for sure learning to remind myself more wraps don't equal better flies!!! Thank you for this video. Getting ready to head to Michigan for a winter fly trip definitely gonna try this one! Recommend any others?

[@AnglersCovey]

Thank you for watching! Are you targeting trout or steelhead in Michigan?

[@branzcohoon]

@AnglersCovey I'll be targeting bows and browns. I'm running a fairly light set up for steels but I'll never turn the opportunity down to lip one!!

@@branzcohoon these two should fair you well in that area!

[@TravelsAndMore]

Fantastic A+

[@AnglersCovey]

Thank you! I’ll pass the feedback along to Brian!

[@kennethsanders963]

I like it and I will tie it but I'll leave out the red head.tight lines.

[@AnglersCovey]

Thanks for watching!

Cool fly but I hate body quill for tailing material
