Belly Scratcher Minnow 2.0 - Light Baitfish | Streamer | Fly Tying Tutorial

In this fly tying tutorial Cheech ties the Belly Scratcher Minnow 2.0 - Light Baitfish
The Belly Scratcher was designed so you could create kind of a modular weighting system without adding much bulk to a small streamer pattern. This iteration of the bug has a better hook, a different body, but most of all, we ditched that nasty tear mender for a better adhesive option. Most of all, keep the dubbing on the head really sparse and it will keep a nice flat and vertical profile! The sky is the limit with color combos on this one.

You don't talk too much at all! We appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. Very much appreciated

[@ryansaulsbury-qb9sj]

I’m going to tie up some of those this winter. Love zonkers!

[@owensmith8501]

Cheech you're the Joe Buck of fly tying. Love your videos for the content, but your commentary is what keeps me coming back!

[@T.N.TFly.company]

Such a cool pattern Cheech, I can’t wait to tie some of these myself!

[@jakeroth3879]

I love that head style!! That can go a bunch of different directions. Been tying Baby Fats on a micro game changer platform. It slays. This one is going in the box next to that. Awesome!! Thank you!!!

[@josephpero1916]

Thank you 😊 I appreciate your video & no worries on taking

You talking is better than listening to drunken squirrel music on some videos.

Tear mender was a neat adhesive but it always caused discoloration in my flies, particularly when I used white or cream on the head with dubbing or craft fur.

[@realityobservationalist7290]

Samsquench-Red is an excellent color.

[@RayRayLem]

The beard is epic Cheech. Please tie some of that beard into a leech or minnow and try to catch something.

Have you tried a bait inspired by a mangalitsa boar. That's a fly scratcher for sure.Similar in appearance to the belly scratcher. I would use hair from the actual boar but you know whatever

[@TNFlies]

Love it

[@gimnof]

I wonder if a matuka style feather tail would work in place of the zonker. That would help it sink really quick. Might try it if I tie one of these in a size 4 or something!

[@FlyFishFood]

Just add more beads. Can’t beat the movement of a zonker

[@user-qh4fv4mv8b]

Ок!👍

[@robertperman8967]

Fantastic. Do you sell flys?
