EZ Black Drum and Redfish Fly: BACKWATER VLOG #30

[@AtmaRising]

Beauty! That rainbow wasn’t too shabby either. 😉

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

AtmaRising many thanks. Yeah that trout was a big girl for sure.

Tied a couple of these up, they looked great on the bench, but did not ride hook up in the water. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I ended up trimming all the brush material off the bottom of the fly and then coating that bottom area with UV resin. That did the trick. Definitely a nice looking fly, I look forward to trying it out when the world returns to normal and I can get on a plane again!!

Sometimes depending on the knot, leader lb test, or even how densely tied the fly is that can all can make a fly with small lead eyes to turn over. But typically I don’t have issues with that. What you did could work or even add heavier eyes like me or lg

[@stewoutdoors3020]

Incredible pattern . I made you two purple brushes. Your brother has your order in Crystal River. I can't wait for you to check them out !!

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

Stew Outdoors I should have them at the end of this month

[@chrissewell1608]

Looks like an awesome pattern! Do that same fly in some tan & gold, green & chartreuse, rusty brown & tan... It'd work from Reds, and bonefish to those Big mountain trout, and bass! I gotta make some of those! Thanks.

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

Chris Sewell certainly the color options are endless and the fly can no doubt be used in both fresh and saltwater just switch out the hooks

[@shpak_aq]

[@ericisrael7598]

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

Pretty fly!!!!

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

Danny D-Rock Mahaffey many thanks. Works well too.

[@willfellows2655]

I might of missed it but what was the hook size?

[@garrettwarren287]

What other color combos do you throw in this? Murky vs clear...

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

Garrett Warren tan/orange. Brown/gold. Olive/white makes a good baitfish fly too actually

[@garrettwarren287]

@@BackwaterFlyFishing Dope. I will definitely add some copper chenille with that tan/orange combo.

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

@@garrettwarren287 no doubt!

[@Charsept]

Hook size?

[@augustonthefly]

Oh, invasive trout in Costa Rica too! Costa Rica natives are hurting from their presence there no doubt.

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

What native species live as high in the mountains as the trout do in Costa Rica? I didn’t think there were any native species that lived at that elevation.

Can't get past the depressing music. You need to tell us what you are doing, how you are tying.
