I’ve come back and watched you tie this pattern several times over the past few days, and there is just something about patterns that are intentionally (buggy) disheveled and random that are so much more interesting to me and hard to not watch. A lot of people can twist up a messy disheveled fly, but to watch a tier that has prided themselves on being so exacting as yourself twist up something and allow it to intentionally have the messy out of place fibers going everywhere I find fascinating. Mr McPhail and many of the European tiers do that often with the use of seals fur even in their dries, and their use of Velcro to intentionally loosen fiber so that it can be blended or “brushed into the dressing of the fly” has grown on me to some degree, more so when tying wets and nymphs now. Keep it up Mr. Charlie, and if so inclined, I would really enjoy seeing you document and tie some more of the classic patterns so that they continue to be documented for those of us that may have gotten into the game a bit late. In my opinion there is nobody better suited to show the world the right way to do it. Would also give anything to see a thread control video from a guy that taught himself to tie backwards just so that his thread would lay flatter, talk about a stickler and a glutton for punishment. My wife says you have to be every bit as stubborn as I am! Take that as a compliment sir!

I thought no one out West knew! 😆 This fly slays. Skitter it too for some fun before we don’t see anymore Caddis until 2024!

Nice, Hare's Ear is a very versatile material for fly tying. I tied this fly and fished it quite a bit. Wood Duck is hard to come by and it's expensive when you do. No mind, Hen Grizzly Hackle for Wings works just as well and is easy to come by. For lack of a name, you could call it a hare's ear Adams. Back in the day, I did a lot of duck hunting and there was always a good supply of Wood Ducks around. I always had feathers off the half dozen I would shoot in a season. I even tied the fly without wings at all and the trout still eat it. You will find it in my Adams fly Box. I have a box just dedicated to the Adams dry fly and its variants.

Fun pattern Charlie never seen before. Catskill meets Adams with Cal Bird body.

Nice . I like the wood duck wing would look good on a callibaetis pattern . Thanks for sharing.

So much hackle without crowding the hook eye. 👍

Awesome tie. I'm sure a wood duck colored mallard flank feather would work as well.

Ok man, I want to tie some of these and find a tweed flat cap to go with it. What you said about this fly being small stream appropriate, I get it! Here is where my mind goes with it: would a foam underbody keep it floating all day? Oh, and I had some great fishing last week on the Baby Boy hopper, one Charlie Craven Baby Boy Hopper lasted all day with one knot on big bluegills and later on brookies at 9000 feet high. Thanks for sharing!

If you like wood duck(me too) you will really love gadwall ! I'm still tying on a bird from a friend's dream stream "cast and blast" (from a good while back) Gadwall is a puddle duck that resembles acwidgeon a bit...difference is incredible flanks similar to woodies just much darker.

Killer! But Cree would be so much nicer. 🤣

Thanks CC, you rock (even in a grey t-shirt!) Hey CC - You've mentioned tying hopper patterns with a non-slip mono loop knot for more natural motion, what do you otherwise use for trout -- the clinch or an arsenal of differing knots?

@wyomingtrout5581 9 ай бұрын

Charlie, when did it become common practice to tie the dry fly hackle with the dull side facing forward? When I began tying my first tying book book by Eric Leiser recommended them being tied in the exact opposite so they would provide more support to the front of the fly and keep it from tipping forward on its head. I would appreciate your comments on this, thanks.

Nice tie!! Charlie, you're sold out of spade hackle? 🤨 Any idea when you will be stocked again? Thanks...

@allieone8518 9 ай бұрын

Thanks a lot for the great tutorial as usual. BTW, it is surprising to see that your Dyna-King vise jaw has been chipped away where it meets the forcing cone. Is the Dyna-King vise jaw that soft?

@CharliesFlyBox 9 ай бұрын

No chip, just some crud on the jaws. Not to worry!

I assume you are intentionally choosing hackles that's only a hook gap in length as opposed to the more conventional 1-1/2 or even 2 (in the case of Catskill style) hook gaps in length. It does give it a unique look. I'm just curious how it impacts its floatability.

@CharliesFlyBox 9 ай бұрын

I do tend to undersized my hackle a bit. This one is definitely on the small side.
