FLY FISHING - DRY FLY FISHING FOR TROUT. ( NOTHING FLY)

[@drewrawcliffe5593]

Having watched your videos on fishing and tying this fly. I decided to tie some as I thought my local club water would respond to this fly. All I can say is thank you for this pattern as I out fished everyone today! Fished with 15 fish on this pattern. Keep up producing the videos. Drew

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

That's brilliant Drew , now is the time it starts to fish well , and it will catch right up until late October 👍 🎣🐟

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Cheers Barry, good o hear your doing well on the flies, get some black tiemco Aero wing ordered we are catching lots of fish on them 👍🎣🐟

[@robertalexander7286]

You're my hero. Away for weekend, wife went shopping and I got two hours to fish, howling gale. Top hat on point, 18 Nothing on dropper. Got six, best 5lb on the nothing fly. Surprised that so small a hook could stay firm.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Brilliant Robert, the Nothing fly are tied on a carp hooks which are very strong and don't bend, dry fly hooks are no good if big fish are in the lake 👍🎣🐟

[@johnpringle4759]

Hi good video as usual well done for yesterday them rocks on the corner on dunnydeer has been alive with fish this weekend keep up the good work

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Cheers John, there has been some days when the rises have been brilliant, sadly not the days I have been there 😭😭 but they still come up blind for the flies, great sport 👍🎣🐟

[@alanblake13]

Another great video Alec, keep up the great work!

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Cheers Alan, much appreciated 👍🎣🐟

[@seankelly3997]

Great video Alec, l must tie up some of those flies, they seem deadly under the right conditions, especially this time of year.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Definitely Sean, they are catching lots of fish right now and will do so all through the summer months and up to the end of October, make sure you keep them small 👍🎣🐟

[@trevorluft1763]

Hi Alec, what floating line do you prefer to use for dry fly fishing

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

I like to use a snowbee thistle down 3/7 wt for my dry fly fishing.

[@peterb443]

Hi Alec always follow your channel I live in Leeds and the opportunities to fly fish down here are limited, however we are up in Northumberland for a week from today the 7th and hope to get along to Chatton . All the best keep the video’s coming 🎣🎣🎣👍 Peter

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

I am there on Sunday, we have our fun club competition on, it's fishing very well, you will enjoy yourself, if you see me, please say hello Peter 👍🎣🐟

[@peterb443]

@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Hi Alec unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to get along to Chatton today mores the pity it would have been really good to have a chat with you. I do hope your fun day was a great success 🤞.As I said in my last message opportunities to fly fish in West Yorkshire are limited as a result I’ve lost a little of my enthusiasm for the sport, can I ask you about the length of leader and type you use to fish the nothing fly.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

About 16ft leader with 2 flies 👍🎣🐟

[@paulcarter5731]

Going to give rhese a go for sure. What diameter tippet do you use? Fishing #20's and smaller on rivers i'd be using 7x, but stillwaters with chance of much bigger fish...?

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Thin diameter is required, some fisheries have a 6lb limit on tippet, some don't, soft plus is a good choice, thin and strong 👍🎣🐟

[@AlexAtkinson-s7l]

Hi Alec, I used a nothing fly this morning at Knitsley, I was letting it sink and slowly retrieving it and had 6. I originally got some from eBay but can't find any. Do you know where I can get some as I don't tie them?

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

That's great Alex , the fly works well off the surface or just a few mm under . Send me a pm on face book about the flies 👍🎣🐟

[@AlexAtkinson-s7l]

Hi Alec, I've sent a PM on the missus FB account, thanks.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Apologies Alec, I'll try again. Don't know what's gone on there 🤦‍♂️

[@AlexAtkinson-s7l]

Hi Alec, I've sent another, fingers crossed 🤞

[@messi2324]

Hi Alec,where do you get your hooks for tying the Nothing Fly,,,

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Off ebay, GURU MWG carp hooks, size 18 and 20.👍🎣🐟

[@messi2324]

@@alecharveyfishingandflytying ,,thank you so much...👍👍👍

[@alrutherford1342]

Hi Alec - another phenomenal video mate - many thanks - you definitely walk the talk! Have tied a few of these up but not used to fishing such fine diameter fluro and find am getting broken at the dropper a few times..... I normally use a 3 turn water knot with 9lb fluro which is rock solid but what knots are you using for your dropper fly so the light fluro holds up.......?? Cheers for any pointers and thanks again for the content - is really really good and appreciated 👍👍

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Cheers Al, I use a 2 turn water knot and put the dropper part through the loop before pulling the loop tight , droppers on light leader can be a problem and sometimes it's more reliable to use a single dry fly 👍🎣🐟

[@alrutherford1342]

@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Appreciate the advice Alec, many thanks, and look forward to trying it out! 🎣🎣

[@davidmaddox6220]

Cracking tutorial pal. Me an the old man are up there on they on Wednesday the 1st June if ye fancy a day out, would be good to catch up mate it's been a while.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Cheers, I will be there on Tuesday, I have the grandkids on Wednesday 👍🎣🐟

[@jamesgallacher7560]

Hi Alex 👋 the proofs in the pudding pal, love the video. I read on the comments that you tie them on Carp hooks. If you'd be so kind could you tell me the size and type /make of them please. Many many thanks. Love your vids mate.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Cheers James, the hooks I use now are Guru MWG, PTFE coated, eyed barbless in size 18 and 20 really strong and light, much better than a dry fly hook, they don't bend out. Let me know how you get on. We are catching loads of trout on them now 👍🎣🐟

[@jamesgallacher7560]

@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Hi buddy I certainly will let you know. I tied my freind a few of those wee flys as I'd copied them . Look like fluff out your belly button but my god they're deadly. Take care and thanks again. 😊

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣They definitely work well 👍🎣🐟

[@gavanhennessy4624]

What rod is that Alec? Looks like it has a lovely action.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

I think it was one of my old Greys 5wt rods Gavan🎣🐟 .

[@davidpeters5962]

Hi Alec. wow great sport. watching your video to tie the nothing fly and you persuaded me to try tying after 30+ years. then I tied large sea trout flies so #12 and #14 was an interesting challenge 😀. got the impression you are using much smaller flies here. what size please and still the same Kamasan B981 hook?

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Cheers David, I now use size 18 and 20 Guru MWG carp hooks ( barb less) , they don't bend out if you hook a big trout 👍🎣🐟

[@davidpeters5962]

@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Thanks for the swift reply. think I am going to need some new glasses!! Any hint as to where you get the hooks? were you using #18 and #20 on the video?

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Yes, that the best sizes as it represents a very small midge. You can get the hooks off ebay or just Google Guru MWG barbless carp hooks 👍🎣🐟

[@blackfur241]

Another good video I have tied a few up to try . Also did you make the rod holder ? If so is there any chance of doing a video on how u made it please

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Cheers, I didn't make it myself but can send you the contact details of the guy that makes them, they are great and a good price to purchase 👍🎣🐟

[@seanarmstrong5422]

Hi Alec do you treat your leader to sink ?

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

No Sean, if its calm you can use mud to take the shine off the fluro tippet

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

No Sean, if its calm I use mud to take the shine off the fluro tippet 👍🎣🐟

Hi Alec. How long are your dropper please.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

About 10 inches James 👍🎣🐟

[@ironmanmichael]

Alec, always enjoy your videos. Is there any chance you could make sure the audio is on both channels next time? Having the commentary coming just out of the left is a bit difficult on headphones.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Thanks Michael, I would if I new how to correct it?? , I didn't realise there was a sound problem, I have only watched them on the TV or on my phone and they sound OK on them. 🎣🐟

[@michaelgraham2915]

Where do you get the aero wing material? And what hooks do you prefer to use at that size. Thanks

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Hi Michael, you can get the tiemco areo Wing ( in fine) anywhere, just Google it, the hooks I use are guru carp hooks in 18 and 20, not dry fly hooks as they are not strong enough 👍🎣🐟
