Fly Tying Tutorial: 20 Incher Stonefly

[@michaelpeterson6413]

I always watch your fishing videos, and very much enjoy them. I never really watched any of the fly tying videos until recently. They are very enjoyable as well.

[@chslyngstad]

I always find the patterns you guys tie on Fly Fish Food to be top notch. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to show us both new patterns and well tied older patterns!

[@Single_Handed_7.62]

Watching anyone do a pinch wrap and have the materials perfectly set always makes me really miss having two hands, lol. Tie on FFF. Thank you very much for the learnin’.

[@andrewmorke]

I've wanted to tie fly legs like that for years. Thanks!

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thanks for sharing. It's nice to be able to work with some natural materials in the world of synthetics. Great pattern and I've caught a ton of trout on the 20".

You are a master tyer and I really appreciate your choice of materials and technique. Thank you for sharing! Ron, NE Iowa

[@FlyFishFood]

Thanks Ron!!

[@ferndawg10]

Looks like a Prince nymph, pheasant tail & hares ear all in one fly.. Awesome!

[@auroraasleep]

I like the body in this version better than the other I just tied. Tighter control over the final shape.

[@joeduca8582]

Cheech, nice friends & family tutorial, my condolences to your aunt on her pet "Fernando". I've heard of this pattern but never tied it. I know this is how you tie this pattern, but do you prefer the turkey dull side up? I've tied pretty involved stone patterns but settled on generic nymph patterns that are tied just like this, except for the biot tail. Nice tip on the underbody to build a taper, I do an underbody of brown rabbit on my zugbugs now and the catch rate improved. The loon stuff you used on the turkey looks good, I've used Dave's flex cement but it gunks up. Artist fixative or cheap hair spray works too. In any case I like the natural materials, thanks again. 👍

[@FlyFishFood]

This turkey was pretty similar in color on both sides. But yeah, tie the vibrant side up if you get some dope turkey tails.

[@Grisha21]

very similar to prince nymph. like the way you made legs

[@jimholland1592]

Nicely done going to make some now👍

[@patrickbaca6719]

That's awesome!! Good looking fly.

[@SirPraiseSun]

is that a 4mm bead? how much did the fly weigh at the end 4 grams?

[@richludt2962]

You guys are the BEST! Thank you.

[@ryanbeebout7676]

The 20 incher is an excellent skwalla nymph pattern.

[@cpullic]

Gonna be tying this one today 👍🏻🍺

[@mohameddocrat5474]

I find that an even number of turns of lead catches more fish than the odd number! I like 12 turns. Great fly.

[@brodyjoe50]

Not mashing barbs? what kind of yuppies you got watching this? some people still fish to eat them or do they even know they are edible.

[@bobbertheclown2907]

nice job, I'm defiantly going to try this thanks

[@richarddvll]

very nice pattern I will tweak it with some black squirrel dubbing of my own but very nice

[@jyoung1024]

When you coat the turkey with Loons Soft Head, do coat one side or both?

[@FlyFishFood]

Just one side, but it seems to soak through.

[@jyoung1024]

Fly Fish Food Awesome. Thanks! Learning a ton from you guys. Really appreciate the videos.

[@JeremyLamovsky]

Channel my inner Davey mcfail 😂 if there were fly tying trading cards his would be most sought after

[@myeh17]

lacing flies with purple smurf blood? a vintage uncle cheech move right there.

[@FlyFishFood]

Yup... Next level Neuroscience stuff right there.

[@Podobed]

Classy tie. Easier way to do an underbody though lol. Unistretch. Pretty sure you sell that too.

[@FlyFishFood]

It just adds tying in another material. Buildup is minimal on a size 10. Maybe with bigger sizes.

[@MottiTadmor]

Cheech! love your videos, wash hands next time, before someone steals your fingerprint! haha, Happy New Year!

[@brooktroutangler5917]

Peacock Ice Dub or AZ Syn Peacock dubbing in lieu....... more durable and catches fish same

[@ghart91]

Really you barb haters! I never mash mine down till I’m on the stream.

[@TheFlyFiend]

Getting The Neighbour To Do The Dirty Work Haha.

[@cywilliams3176]

Davie McPhail man... what a legend.

[@jaredb6934]

Yes, yes I did see your eyeball.

[@jsf4star891]

I bet if you had had some wax on your thread it would have given you "Plenty of grip" to attach those biots in first time....:)

[@FlyFishFood]

JSF 4star they attached great. One was just longer than the other so I re-did them.

[@FlyFishFood]

also... Good Davie McPhail reference!

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

If haters don`t hate the blood they have , If any ,won`t circulate

[@bradleytristan2610]

Im gonna give you guys some el chupa cabra dubbing

[@chewybear1528]

want to bet that i can catch a fish on just the hook and bead?

[@icefisher1171]

Barb haters obviously don't know what they're doing. Poor little things. 😢

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert3337]

Special smurf blood😂

[@bigbadfella]

I call this the 20 inch STONED, because I'd have to be stoned to think I'd ever catch a 20 inch trout.

[@FlyFishFood]

@@bigbadfella being stoned brings a lot of clarity of mind. You can easily catch a 20” trout.

[@holyworrier]

Fish don't "eat" a fly. They intend to, but when the hook is set, their plan is foiled. They "take" or "hit" the fly. Saying they eat the fly is sloppy use of language.

[@FlyFishFood]

Take, hit, and eat are all approved usages of the Queen's English according to the Fly Fishing Manual (Sec. 357.9 pp. 67-69.) This being said, I will request for an amendment to that section to exclude the word "eat" because of how offensive it is. I appreciate your concern.

[@Stoops1973]

Word police suck. Probably don’t get many fish with your head that far up your ass do you. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason.... listen and learn, then shut the fuck up!

[@bakdrft2009]

We have 2 armpits as well, and both stink

[@imaxfli]

Head? Neck maybe?
