Tying the MOST REALISTIC Japanese Beetle Larva Grub!

#flytyingjunkie #fishing #flytying
Fly tying step by step for a fishable realistic Japanese beetle larva grub fly. It is very productive when fished near grassy fields and pastures. This pattern makes a great point fly due to the weight. It drops to the bottom like a stone.
Japanese beetle larvae, also known as grubs, are white/yellow, semitransparent grubs that feed on grass roots and can grow up to one inch and a half long. They have a creamy body, dark head, and well-developed legs on their thorax, and their bodies often curve into a C-shape when disturbed.
Japanese beetle grubs spend the winter underground in the soil of grassy areas, such as lawns and pastures. In the spring, they move closer to the surface to finish feeding and pupate into adult beetles. Adult beetles typically emerge from the ground in late June or early July and can live for about four to five weeks above ground. During this time, they eat and mate, often congregating in areas with attractive smells, such as roses and geraniums.

Isto sim é que é uma filmagem bem feita em fly, de frente para o objetivo e não o contrario da maioria que eu vejo. Parabéns

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

Thank you. It makes it easier for the tyer to understand from the perspective they actually see their vise from.

[@user-po7iv4ni3o]

Man, what a fly. Clearly takes an insane amount of work, but it's cool to see a fly that looks so real (to a human)! Seems that fish will eat a lot of flies, but I have to imagine the more realistic the fly, it will only help eh?

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

I've had good success with fishable realistics over the last 25 yearsish. It just depends on the situation.

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

Thank you very much.

That is the best looking bug I've ever seen but it's also an OCD bug cuz everything he does is in double or triple speed

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

Most of it is 1.5 speed.

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

And, everything I do is OCD. 😊

Хорошая работа, скажите зачем проволка изначально. Я нитками и гелем делаю тело и оно не разваливается. И на какую рубу приманка у вас? я во основном делаю на хариуса.

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

To create a taper and fatter body. They are good for all fish that eat grubs.

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

Thank you!

[@earlfultz8603]

It's a heck of a lot easier just to buy a couple dozen of the baits and string them on

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

@earlfultz8603 True, but I enjoy the creation process.

[@doniarass7147]

Где гарантия, что после пару раз нанизания они не развалятся? Я вяжу и создаю мухи мужу из ниток и геля для ногтей. Я мастер маникюра и у меня новое хобби, вязание мух. Это увлекательно, успокаивает нервы и восхищает. А ещё меня стали хвалить мужья моих подруг и хотят покупать мои изделия. Потому, что таких не найти в магазине 🤷‍♀️

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

​@@doniarass7147 My guarantee is 43 years of tying and knowing what to do.

Some lures catch fish others catch fishermen.

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

Yep. This catches both.

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

@@meghj3329 have you ever used one?

[@d4RKN355R38orN]

Latex material brand? Where to buy it?

[@flytyingzonedavehise]

I use Fulling Mill and Kileys in most cases but... to get anything over 4mm you have to purchase a latex sheet and cut it to size with a straight edge and cutter.
