[@chasselynch5733]

That pattern is 🔥🔥 all year round

[@jimholland1592]

Your getting better all the time 👍

[@russellogden8071]

I like how you keep things simple and your a fish catching machine.after watching your vidio catching fish on the rusty brown version i have to know what thread you use on since i have a few rusty brown threads they all differ in color.

[@tightliningmd]

Really nice job here Chuck. Mesmerizing to be honest. Well tied, explained, and good music choice. To anyone watching, I can attest this fly works! Watched it pick off fish on the Little J yesterday!

[@Brownsylvania]

Thanks a lot for the good words Mike! It was great fishing with you and we'll definitely have get back out when the conditions are much more favorable.

[@CBL138]

Nice!

[@s1a9m9b0]

I love finding patterns that I already have everything for at home.

[@Brownsylvania]

I don't think you'll be disappointed, that's for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@s1a9m9b0]

@@Brownsylvania I ended up doing this one and using a layer of uv resin before tying the wing on. I have not tried it yet but hopefully it will work well.

[@Brownsylvania]

Awesome! That'll definitely just make the fly much more durable and even add a little shine to it. I'm sure it'll work out great for you!

[@cmclee153]

A great video! Such an elegant and clean tie. I can see this becoming one of my core patterns. Thank you!

[@Brownsylvania]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and tie.

[@cpmorris1001]

Hey.. that's my fly box!!! Ok, I'm just kidding. That fly looks fantastic, I'll be tying some up for the BWO hatch in April and May for my Green River trip

[@scottlowe3355]

You do a great job with your tying videos. Well explained and put together. This is like a simpler version of the Barr Baetis emerger to me. I need to try this one! Thanks!

[@Brownsylvania]

Thanks a lot and thanks for watching! I don't think you'll be disappointed after tying up a few and trying them out. Let me know how they do for you. 👍

[@collinlisowski5523]

Thin to win. I have always been a fan of the WD-40 but I really like this take on a baetis nymph. The under-appreciated and likely most abundant mayfly in PA waters. Great pattern

[@Brownsylvania]

Thanks man! Appreciate the support.

[@rickgoddard1239]

Excellent video! Good demonstration of the techniques and materials. Please keep them coming!

[@Brownsylvania]

Thank you! Glad you found the video informative.

[@bobmatuzak2263]

Very nice simple fly. I can tell it's a fish catcher. And you've really upped your production techniques.

[@Brownsylvania]

Thanks a lot Bob! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@bstrickler1]

Thanks for the "how to" for this pattern. I like this pattern, it has some things going on like the collar and case but it is a quick tie.

[@Brownsylvania]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching.

[@secondstartotheright]

Fantastic video thanks!!!!

[@Brownsylvania]

Thank you for watching!

[@MikeSmith-up2px]

Nice and simple.

[@Brownsylvania]

Thanks Mike!

[@leemowers9395]

Very nice little fly, thanks

[@Brownsylvania]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching! I think you'll be pleased with fishing this fly.

[@davidriley7997]

I like that. Thanks for sharing.

[@Brownsylvania]

You're welcome! Glad you liked it.

[@martinhodell8465]

It would be interesting if you would go ahead and do some stream testing of this pattern vs a euro attractor (blowtorch, red dart, etc) on your local waters. Part of me wants to believe this would outperform given its baetis-like coloration-- but I wonder.

[@dalesheehan9404]

Used it for first time it was deadly!

[@Brownsylvania]

Awesome!

[@mattmcmillen7039]

Love this tie! See any pros or cons of using a jig shank instead?

[@Brownsylvania]

Thanks! Nope, not at all. The only reason I tie it on the curved caddis hook is because that's how it was tied when I found it in that fly box and I like the curved look for this pattern. I'm sure it would work just as well on a jig hook.

[@YellowstoneCountryFlyFishing]

I suspect that the fly you found started off life as a WD-50 and then either got chewed on and put back in the box or just fell apart a bit. Basically the same fly as you have here, but an untrimmed tail and a pearl or opal tinsel flashback over the thorax.

[@Brownsylvania]

No it was clearly a separate pattern, but very similar I agree.

[@mikerapeer4848]

Great video. What else can be used instead of the blue mallard flank

[@Brownsylvania]

Thank you! You could probably use some blue dun CDC. I can't think of anything else at the moment.

[@jowhi9296]

what was the orange fly in your box

[@mark7939]

Hi Chuck, nice videos, how r u getting down deep enough using a 2.3 mm bead.

[@Brownsylvania]

Thank you! Either using a second heavier fly or split shot.

[@garyslade6509]

Any reason behind using the slotted bead on a non-jig hook?

[@Brownsylvania]

Nope. Just don't want to have to keep tabs on another bead type and store them separately. It's just easier to stock one bead type in my opinion.

[@bstrickler1]

Do you ever add wire to the thorax?

[@Brownsylvania]

I have not for this pattern. I think just for the sole reason that it's beauty is its simplicity.
