How to tie the Peanut Envy | AvidMax Fly Tying Tuesday Tutorials

Peanut Envy Blog-Post & Recipe: blog.avidmax.com/2020/09/08/h...
In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Max ties the Peanut Envy!
Kelly Galloup knows his way around the fly bench and has a methodology behind every material and technique used in his flies. The Peanut Envy is Kelly's tribute to Russ Madden's Circus Peanut. I switched a couple of things up, making this a pretty sweet little variation. I really like the color scheme in this particular fly, and the Flymen Co. Fish Skull adds some character to it. On my streamers, I think it is important to have some sort of eyes, flash, and I especially like the palmered marabou instead of the marabou just tied in.

Love your videos', Max! Just beginning to tie articulate flies and you are an excellent teacher!

[@AvidMax]

Thanks for watching! We appreciate the feedback!

Beautiful fly. Nice neat tying. Loved the way you built an overall taper into your pattern. I will definitely be adding this pattern to my collection. Cheers

[@AvidMax]

Hope you can answer this question, I've had it for a while. Fish taper from small to large at the mid point back to small then sharply to large at the tail. Why do tyers tie their feathers (schlappen) in from the tip at the mid point of a fly thereby making the heads fat, and the midsection small? Why not tie the schlappen in from the butt end of the feather and wrap forward to the tip?

[@AvidMax]

There are a couple of important considerations when tying streamers. A major goal is to get the fly to push as much water as possible. Thus, the large heads on streamers. Another goal is to build bulk without adding too much mass to the fly. This may be why you frequently see the feather tied in back to front vs front to back with an added ribbing. Some things are done within the preference of a tyer for either efficiency or tying process

Whoa, that's so cool! I'm not a fly fisherman, but I'd love to learn how to make lures like these for inshore reds, trout and flounder. Subscribing now! 🇺🇲👍

Glad you enjoyed!
