With a name like that I’m surprised Kelly didn’t design it :-) Thanks for sharing

Put the cone on first, then put on an appropriate size bead into the cavity of the cone. Thread dam the bead securely into the cone. That locks the cone into place.

[@RoryLynott]

Awesome method to secure a cone. Thanks!

[@jamescorliss1965]

5 wraps of led fits perfect and probably cheaper

[@josephsichting8162]

Beautiful fly X 2! Thanks, Craven. Always love your vlogs.

[@Sides1160]

I live in Casper and fish the North Platte all the time. This fly and the Goldie are super effective. Workers on both one handed and Spey rods. Don’t leave home without them.

[@jakerite1951]

I miss Casper and the North Platte. Especially the Miracle Mile except when they put brood fish in there. All the way to Alcova

[@swjarvis]

"Maybe just don't look it up." 🤣

[@tinoyb9294]

Yes, brown/yellow/gold Platte River colors or red/black/grizzly/silver. Never caught anything with olive. I think it looks too much like moss where I fish.

[@glennsands9127]

A rabbit or marabou cape on a JJ is a monster!

[@RoryLynott]

Depending on the conditions, I dig this one fished without the conehead.

[@alanbigcheesehautly5009]

Love your warning at the start. HAHA

[@paulbridgers3820]

Another great looking fly from the master. Thanks for sharing.

[@whiskeydan]

I like to add some rubber legs to mine, but an overall effective pattern 👍. I've also stopped buying the smaller sizes of polar chenille. For one, some of the colors they don't seem to make in the smaller sizes (like the copper olive you used here), but also it's just one less thing to have in my tying supplies.

[@cmdoody]

excellent tutorial. Nice job!

[@MerchantMarineGuy]

I love Rusty Trombones

[@Airman-nr4yb]

Very nice steamer. I have given you a like and subscribed to your channel. I will be tying this pattern in different colors (pink, black, blue, white and purple). I can see these colors working very well too.

[@PatrickPharo]

Great looking streamer from Charlie, as usual. The only complaint is that my search history is now a little more "adult".

[@cachi-7878]

Good morning Daddy! Hahahaha!

[@realityobservationalist7290]

Do you think there is any benefit (or downside) to wrapping the chenille and feather separately vs together like the "complex twist" fly fish food style?

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Twisting the hackle with the chenille does bury the stem but in my opinion, looks like 💩 so…

[@realityobservationalist7290]

@@CharliesFlyBox , Agreed!!! I won't tell the squatch.

[@craigdirrim644]

Very creative name. The guy who took umbrage with the two bit hooker would be outraged

[@tinoyb9294]

That was me, and I am. The scotch drinking, cigar smoking competitive red-assed-monkeys are ruining the quiet sport.

[@Mouafishingthings]

Googled Rusty Trombone…. Who knew 🤣😂

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

You can tell your wife that everything is organic otherwise it would be synthetic LOL

[@louismassey4371]

Full disclosure I started tying flies because I have a stock in silly names

[@ruebdogg1]

Ez does it

[@sonja9001]

Trombones don’t rust they oxidize! They are made from brass and sometimes copper……just ask Charlie Vernon!
