Fly Tying: The SMP Fly (for White Bass)

[@SmartcastMTG]

I sent some of Skips Patterns up to a customer in Oregon. Love that fly, great tie man

Thanks. Yes, this is a great pattern. I have started tying them larger and making some small additions to great some amazing Bass flies also. I love this fly.

Looks like a killer fly! In the video you made touching wraps pretty important, what works for me to get the smoother body is spinning my bobbin counter clockwise which flattens the thread. Just makes everything smoother with less effort. Awesome tie!

Thanks for the comment. Yes, spinning the thread to flatten it out can definitely help! In time when I am fishing the fly slower, or in areas with more vegetation, I will do this! When I am just pumping them out to fish fast in more open water, I don't worry about it as much. I should have mentioned that in the video. Thanks!
