Fly Tying Tutorial: Lance Egan ties a Humongous - STILLWATER FLY

[@TheEzzieboy]

Lance, I tied up a variation in color for shiners. Worked Great!! Incorporates so much movement with the longer tail. Thanks for the pattern. It goes into the must-have box.

[@paulweezy138]

Awesome!! need to attempt a few of these. new to tying. It's cool to see Lance tying a streamer. I feel like because of his being a world class nympher you only expect to see videos of him tying red darts and frenchies. Goes to show anything he ties is bonafied badass. A little late but I listened to the podcast you guys did with Jim at the Reno flyshop. Enjoyed it. I live in northern Nevada and fish the Truckee as often as possible. I'll save this fly for the Wiper and Crappie in Lohantan resivoir though. Thanks for the upload!!

Very nice tie

[@timh5395]

Well done. Thanks for sharing

[@bobbylolimg1928]

It really is an effective pattern.

[@_JimS]

That's Nice! What I would like to see from you fly tying guys is what they look like in the stream after you tie one....just for effect.

[@johnmcmurrough]

Bingo! Good stuff. Thanks Lance - Keep em coming!

[@guyh.4553]

Cool fly! I would have to say it would look like a minnow. What else could you use other than 7X Tippet? Like 4 lbs leader?

[@max9343]

When fishing this pattern in rivers do you typically dead drift this, or swing it?

[@Lanceeganflyfishing]

max9343 I fish it most in lakes, but it works well in rivers too. I usually strip it but you will find it’ll work in all the scenarios you listed.

[@jonahericson3084]

When you say that it doesn't foul as often what do you mean

[@matthewvose2184]

I like to fish slumpbuster style streamers on a euro leader. Could I use this same principle and tie that style fly with a long zonker tail?

[@nickliszka8453]

Is there a reason why you use tippet over wire to capture the hackle?

[@Cheechfisher0311]

Nick Liszka Tippet is actually more durable.

[@nickliszka8453]

Clark Pierce cool and thank you.

[@chuenyeelau]

nice and thanks

[@markmemmott6026]

What other color combinations could you tie this in?

[@FlyFishFood]

Sky's the limit. This is more of a style than an actual pattern really. Gold works well. Orange and yellow for craw imitations, etc

[@paulkruse9004]

What does this represent?

[@FlyFishFood]

Paul Kruse not really anything specifically. It’s kind of an attractor.

[@paulkruse9004]

Fly Fish Food Thanks much!

[@paulweezy138]

Fish in the net.

I fish this on reservoirs in the U.K. it's meant to represent a bait fish swimming in the water and is used to target fry feeders in shallow water. Fry feeders in UK waters tend to be larger because of their high protein diet so it's a killer competition pattern for hooking above average sized fish 👌
