Fly Tying Tutorial: Egan's Frenchie by Fly Fish Food

[@keiranrooker7981]

I ran this in tightline videos style and your rainbow warrior and got my first trout today

[@mdekelver1]

Thank you Lance!

[@bobbertheclown2907]

you mentioned this fly to me when I was in Fly Fish Food today so I've got to get a few in my box. Thanks Lance.

[@Murphy599]

Fantastic fly and thanx for showing how simple it is to tie!!

[@adamrichley6276]

I tie this with exact fly with lead wrap when I strictly nymphing, but I’ll tie it without the lead wrap and use it as a dropper on a dry dropper rig, both ways work amazing!

[@keiranrooker7981]

Lance Egans patterns are insane

[@biggreenfish3267]

Absolute killer here on the lower Illinois. Best part of this fly, you do not have to make a CDC collar! Thanks, Lance

[@philipvankampen3394]

Hit a NC grand slam (Brown, Rainbow, Brook) and a 'native' (sucker) on this one today. It's my go to dropper these days. Thanks for the pheasant tail hack BTW.

[@williamklein6749]

Tied these in olive and purple for a trip to Yellowstone. Took four cuts @ 20" with them out of the lower meadow of slough creek today. Thanks.

[@gregb8824]

My collar doesnt hold up when fishing so I now use a dubbing loop or split the thread to apply the collar. The UV Pink is especially hard to get to hold on the thread without using the loop/split thread method. After whip finishing you just need to give the collar a little 'haircut' to get rid of the long strands.

[@TheBoolio]

I’ve been slaying them on this fly lately in my little tiny local stream.

[@TheAkersty]

Great video and tie Lance - I'll be trying these tonight!

[@JWolfy11]

I love this pattern and love your vids. Still impressed those bear paws can wrap materials around a tiny hook. What other thread/dubbing combinations would you guys tie? I'm gonna tie a bunch and tied 6 of this combo tonight (sz 12, 14). Also, would you ever tie this in a 16 or 18?

[@vernlund3564]

well done

[@abefrohman1759]

Great tie.

[@cenobitetoastcrunch8803]

killer pattern. never fish a rig without these on it.

[@Scott64a]

I really like the hook orientation on this. Seems it would get hung less. I'll have to try this pattern.

[@fgr_outdoorsman]

That is correct; jig hooks are designed for the point to ride inverted, causing less hang-ups on the bottom/vegetation.

[@petermorse5442]

Killer fly lance. I fish it ALL the time in NZed. Just get Umpqua to make their tie a little more durable.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

OI LANCE! does you still guide?

[@cascadeflyfisher1489]

Great fly

[@EscalanteFlyFlipper]

Deadly. Thanks.

[@lorenirving8230]

Used this yesterday with a floating liine and long leader on a lake. Worked fine. Do you use it on stillwater as well Lance? I know it would work under an indicator but I am beginning to like slow retrieves with floating line.....And thanks a lot for this pattern. Oh.....and the Intro makes my dog crazy.

[@dirtysouthvol]

NIce!

[@krevin14]

You guys should sell a kit of these pre tied in 12s 14s and 16s with the range of beads you would use for optimal weight coverage. Say 20 flies. You would make a killing from us avid fishers but who don't tie yet.

[@bradleytristan2610]

When's the next live video I love those

[@damonsobers9429]

What happened to this kid? Miss his videos

[@TheGreenTucan]

Do i have to have the bead slotted? I accidentally got the right size but not slotted

[@johntuttle9544]

Its np.

[@stevemd8947]

Lance, Should red thread be used for the Ice Dub UV Pink version? Thanks.

[@FlyFishFood]

Red works for that one too.

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

how heavy is a 2.8 MM tungsten bead

[@Jaimelapoesie]

2.8 mil

[@serjones1983]

good fly, but gold head - gold wire, cooper head - cooper wire, I think it better

[@FlyFishFood]

It not better.

[@serjones1983]

@@FlyFishFood ok

[@keethpoop9797]

Could you use peacock hurl instead of pheasant tail?

[@FlyFishFood]

Mint Berry Crunch it will be way too bushy with peacock.

[@makeawishkid131]

isn't fly tying all about experimentation? I say go for it

[@arthurskim7898]

Bravo Zulu

[@RETROSFLYTYINGCHANNEL]

Great Tute Bra :)

Could you turn down the volume on your intro? It's so loud compared to the chilled vibe of the rest of the video

[@hyrumprince5383]

Haters gonna hate. They do that on purpose I’m sure. Quit complaining 😉😂

[@theheronknowsprimewater1035]

@@hyrumprince5383 ok I've gone 36 hours without complaining

[@Straightahead101]

Hater hated

[@TTT5000]

Bought some of these from my local fly shop and they fell apart after just a few fish. Not sure who ties your fly but that shouldn't happen!!

[@FlyFishFood]

J D did you use forceps with them? They might also have been tied without a counter rib. Pheasant tail isn’t known to be the most durable material.

[@TTT5000]

@@FlyFishFood Thanks for the reply. Yes this is true, PT is usually the first to go, however these flies were unraveling at the half hitch tie off point...and the hot spot with it. No head cement it seems. It looks like Umpqua tied these...maybe a bad batch

[@FlyFishFood]

J D frustrating for sure. I’d contact the shop you bought them from to make sure they are Umpqua bugs. There are several knockoffs, but if they are truly Umpqua bugs, they are a top notch company and care a lot about their product. They would want to know

Have you ever had feelings for a nun ??

[@nickvargasfishinfool9612]

Broooo 🤣

[@dmbpv20]

I love your videos and patterns, but Damn that intro is annoying as hell.

[@ripig111]

I agree. At least reduce the volume, maybe to 20%.

[@piebald80]

yes the mix is a little off.@@ripig111

[@piebald80]

having said that they are fly fisherman, not mix engineers lol

[@philbushell1420]

I love the intro!

[@therusfosterson238]

Like the videos, thank you. For what it’s worth the sound of the intro music is a bit heavy
