How I Tie The Kreelex the Flashiest Fly on the Water

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

A quick and easy tie that's got lots of flash!

[@markinnis8404]

As always, great fly...great tie!! Thank you!!

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@Jgreendyk1]

Thank you for giving Chuck credit for the pattern. Fun story the fly originally was called the Rolex till he got a cease and desist letter from Rolex. Krenik is the correct flash material. The MFC is really really close to the point Chuck would grab it from my shop if he ran out of Krenik and needed to finish an order but it is a bit softer then Krenik. If you want the correct stuff Easter Trophies Fly Fishing carries it along with Mossy Creek Fly Shop. We are coming up on the one year anniversary of losing the legend Chuck, I will say I miss him telling me everything I did wrong when I tied one of his flies, then telling me it looks pretty good though.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Got to give credit where credit is due! Thanks Jeff for the additional context. I might have to see if I can get my hands on some Krenik to try. I did hear the story about the Rolex, pretty funny.

Thanks for all your videos hope you are doing well

Alvin, you get my vote for best dressed fly fishing guy and best laugh! I love your no-nonsense ties! One of these days I'll visit Austin and give you and your dear wife a visit!

[@jimhines9553]

Cool pattern, I really like your ‘guide series’, simple, fast and I’m sure effective.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Glad you like it!

[@chaswaitt6854]

Awesome brother!! The pike up here love it too

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Good to know!

[@charlesaaroncamp8546]

Do you think they think they're baby carp? Or just a good meal/ predatory instinct situation?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

@@charlesaaroncamp8546 I guess it depends on what kind of baitfish are around.

You always make it look so easy. 👍

I try to make it easy. I like the easy flies.

Excellent, super easy and highly modifiable and flexible on color choices

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks John!

[@OpportunityFishing]

Awesome! I like how you tie this! Easier than how I have been doing it. Funny... I tied a few mini kreelex on a size 12 hook this morning for when the crappie start getting active in a month or two where I live!

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

That is awesome!

[@kentell64]

cool looking pattern. Going to tie a few of your poppers today under quarantine this week so might as well fill the fly box .

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Have fun!

[@roberternst798]

when a buddy ,who fished with Chuck many times a year,brought this fly back to Ga and he wore us out,we started tying them up.Trout crack in copper and gold or olive and silver.same colors catch,shoalies,big bream,stripers and trout in certain places here.Chuck's CK nymph old standard trout fly around here.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

That's awesome!

[@jtwhicker]

GOLD FINGER!!!! nice pattern!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

It’s a great pattern , up here in Montana we use it a lot . Gold , gold and silver , silver . Streamer fish it and works really good swinging it . Thanks

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks for the info!

[@tylerdooley4783]

Same here on the Snake in Wyoming

[@mikekuczynski1552]

@@tylerdooley4783 I bet , great streamer river . Haven’t fished it in three years. May wander down this year and hit it . It’s not that far from Ennis . The problem is you go past Bitch Creek and the Teton on the way. Both are hard to pass up .

[@tylerdooley4783]

@@mikekuczynski1552 Ennis is one of those places when I drive through, I could call home. Thats the biggest issue with living within a 200 mi radius of the best trout rivers in the country. The Snake in the GTNP was great this year. If you are floating it, the channels have changed dramatically.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Tyler, I almost hate to say it but with the COVID-19 this year we pretty much had all the rivers to ourselves this year . Bad for the shops and guides but great for low traffic and great fishing. Don’t really like it when rivers change to much , makes it a little sketchy without local knowledge especially on the snake .

[@joelp3009]

So far I have watched a few of you Guide fly videos and you have a way of making it look super easy. I tried to tie when I was younger and could never get it. So now that I’m much older I shall try again. Enjoy watching your videos and thanks for the tips and being you.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

[@bradenmcelroy3262]

Hey Alvin! Very new to fly tying, working off a pair of stats and a workshop vice until I find out if it’s right for me. I’m in Georgia with a ton of brown water in lakes and rivers so this flashy gold should definitely be noticeable. I appreciate all the content and the time you’re taking for the world! You keep rocking brother

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@Swamp-Fox]

I love the guide flys! Gotta give this one a try. What kind of vise are you using?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

It's an old Abel Vise.

[@frankschattner7640]

Alvin, Do you do any carp fishing? If so, share your flies and approach with us. We have a lot here in N Cal. thanks.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

I don't do much carp fishing. If I was better at it I would do it more, but I need to do it more so I can get better at it!

[@glennplatvoet7111]

Interesting boss

[@MichaelLMack]

Do u tie any sea trout guide flies

[@TheEbc123]

I like how you fold and tie back material to create that profile. Do you tie your clouser the same way?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

No I tie my Clousers a little differently.

[@cyguy8577]

Think this would work on a size 4 hook for freshwater/trout?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Yes it was tied for trout first.

[@michaelbacile8439]

Just got my first tying kit, can you technically use any brand hook for tying up flies? Like some off the shelf mustad etc. or are there actual fly fishing specific hooks that are better to use? Love your vids, can’t wait to try the patterns!

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Yes, I use hooks that I get from the tackle store for a lot of patterns.

[@lathamrn]

The thought of tying a fly sheerly outta flash doesn't sit well with me, but once I saw the end product, I see the potential....Still don't like it lol. Nothing personal. Love all this guys ties. Cheers Alvin👍

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

I wasn't convinced until a couple of my buddies were out fishing me with them, then I became a fan! 😂

[@survivorjohnny44]

Ha!! 2 thumbs down made me laugh If anyone didn't catch that, the second one makes the first one go away. No that is pretty funny

Is that Flashabou or Crystal Flash. Or doesn’t it matter?
