How I Tie The Redfish Gotcha

How I Tie The Redfish Gotcha
This fly is a variation of the old school bonefish fly the Gotcha. I tie this one Clouser style and use more subdued colors. This fly is one of my go to patterns when redfish get picky or spooky.

I have caught a lot of redfish on this one lately.

[@sevegarza4768]

Alvin: the least pretentious, most real fly tyer ever. I love your flies because they aren't made to catch likes on Instagram they are made to catch fish. I'd rather be practical than fancy. Keep it up amigo.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thank you Steve!

[@fishhandsfranky]

Thanks for showing the thread break. I’m teaching my son who is now six to tie. Last night he got frustrated after breaking three times. Showing him it happens to the best of them helped his confidence immensely.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

I used to get frustrated as well. Thought about taking that bit out, but I figured it would help someone. Glad it did 😊

[@johnkarges8829]

I nick the hook point too often, even after tying thousands, and do what Alvin did, wrap a new attachment quickly over my break and keep on going.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

One of the best all time bonefish flys ever , RIP Jim :-)

[@Swamp-Fox]

I like the subdued colors!

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

The redfish do too!

[@trentharris1562]

Tied this yesterday, works for bass too!

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

OK now I have to give it a try!

[@WhiteBuffalo032]

Audio perfect.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Not sure what is going on on the other channel. Using all the same gear?

[@marcelsilveira1117]

Good one.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks for the visit

[@ybarrajc]

Thanks for sharing I really appreciate the simplicity of it.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

My pleasure!

[@johnnyhughes8662]

Thanks for a great pattern Alvin! I always enjoy a tying video!

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LongviewGarage]

Cool tutorial

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks!

[@andrewmshuff]

Love this one Alvin! Also your enthusiasm and style is infectious. Thanks for all of your great content.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@edpeter9411]

Alvin’s got the best intro to his videos! Great fly, thanks for sharing.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks Ed, that intro took me a while.

[@KillerFuzzOutdoors]

Thanks great job

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@thatonebeone]

nice.. i need to try make one.... how it swim when its on the water ? the hook facing up or down?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Hook up. Good luck!

[@slider744]

Thanks for the tie! Might vary that up with dumbbell eyes for redfish in the marsh.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Yes sir, I usually tie a few heavier ones as well.

[@WhiteBuffalo032]

Good stuff. Thanks for everything Alvin, especially the inspiration. Been slayin LBJ bass thanks to you and Flip and Lefty.

[@nicholasvargas1661]

Do those little bead chain eyes help the hook point face upwards?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Yes they do. The wing helps as well.

[@nicholasvargas1661]

@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing cool thanks! I was concerned that bead chain eyes wouldn’t be heavy enough to get it hook point up.

[@kevincrawfordphoto]

Nicely done, especially for us "non-tying" tiers. I think I could actually pull this one off and even make it look decent. BTW, I saw what you did there. Hit that 👎🏾👎🏾 2x! LMAO! 🤣🤣🤣 Hope to fish with you this year. Stay safe, be well.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Ha ha, I heard someone else use that hit it twice joke a while ago.

[@pinecone5058]

What kind of vise is that you use

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

It's a 20 year old Abel.

[@johnkarges8829]

Superb tie, excellent fly. I may use small diameter chenille instead of dubbing.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

I didn't have any, but I tie them that way as well.

[@johnkarges8829]

@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing cool. Great tying videos, I appreciate your instruction and coaching

[@matthewpanuska9175]

I think you could just use brown thread or yarn too. I have some great yarn that is brown with black flecks that I think will work awesome. These look like fish catching machines.

[@matthewpanuska9175]

For the body I mean.

[@charlieboutin3341]

I like this fly! Your flies are my favorites. Especially the Popper and the Snake. (Also Bens bass Slider from Huge). I’ve caught some great fall largemouths lately on them. I like using the tan/brown back of buck tails also, it matches the bottom of lots of the rivers around here in central Tx. Thanks a lot Alvin. 👍👍 Hope you have a great Thanksgiving week. 🦃 🎣

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Thanks Charlie!

[@SledorFish]

Looks shrimpy so I'm sure it would work well for lots of different species. I'll have to add this to the box.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

I'll put money on it!

[@itsgottabeinteresting.8388]

does it have to be pink or can it be a chartreuse color?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

You can try any color you like.
