Very nice fly Mak, could see this being very effective as a dropper or a lazy day of fishing under a strike indicator

[@Makflies]

Thank you Junior,, I agree , it works both way, last year I have sold quite a lot

[@ipod1978]

Makflies Mak do you have any advice on hackles? I’m particularly trying to get long yet narrow hackle feathers for my size 18 and 20 black midge flies. I did buy a cape online but every feather is just too long and won’t wrap nicely. Not interested in colours just a straight black but not sure if I should purchase a specific cape for these or buy individuals from Whitting. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Junior,, You need a Sadle, its a streight one size Hackle from top to bottom , Lakelad Fly tying does them, I would sudgest go for ( Pro Sadle ) wich is reasonable price, if you can afford then you can buy Bronz , Silver , Gold,

Can't go wrong with this one. Simple and effective. One of my favorites to tie and fish. Thank you Mak.......

Nice fly. I use this fly quite a bit for Grayling. My mam and dad used to have a mat in their kitchen which was the perfect combination of colours for this fly! I managed to steal quite a bit to tie many flies before my mam caught me and put a stop to it! My grandma had a beautiful olive chenille table spread which I used to steal bits from too! These were great for Damsels! Great videos. I've subbed!

I tie something like this, but I use burlap instead of yarn. I like a coral-colored thread. Yes, I have caught fish with it. A good coating of either head cement or clear fingernail is a good finishing touch. And the fibers hanging down are good leg imitations.

Thank you Gene :-)

Terrific looking bug Arshad. Well tied. Thank you for sharing.

[@Makflies]

Cheers Danny :)

[@williamt2951]

Did you separate the yarn before tying? When you showed the skein it looked like a couple of "strands" together, tying the fly it looked like a single strand.

[@Makflies]

Thank you William, I didn't split it, This yarn is uneven from places, so I trimmed it, it is 2 strand Yarn :))

[@williamt2951]

@@Makflies Thanks! I bought a very good, color wise, substitute for 477 and am looking forward to tying killer bugs.

[@lewis809]

Would you ever put shellback on this or is it more effective without? Nice video :)

[@Makflies]

Thank you Lewis, It's more effective like that :)

[@jeffreyjsmith1980]

This fly looks great. I love your videos. Is the wire used for weight and to thicken the body?

[@Makflies]

Thank Jeffery , it is used for both 👍🏻

[@jeffreyjsmith1980]

I figured as such. Thanks for getting back to me.

[@flytier5161]

[@AnonymousOtters]

That isn't a variation? It is exactly a Killer Bug

[@Makflies]

Thank you lan, I am glad you like it :))

[@AnonymousOtters]

@@Makflies Nice flies! These are great in med-small streams in Idaho. Sometimes I tie with a stiff but sparse hackle up front.

[@Makflies]

@@AnonymousOtters Thank you lan , :))
