Fly Tying, Stage by stage tying of a Humungus Snake fly

[@kevinbrogan8966]

Hi lindsay I keep my hook on the front but use a small size 10 or 12 as I find my local water the fish attack the snake from head on mostly the tigers . Iam not sure if doing this way makes a difference but it works for me . So my tail hook is bigger than the one on the front . But really enjoyed watching your method of tying a snake cheers . Kevin

Your welcome pal, I keep the hook on some of my snakes but it does change the movement of the fly👍

[@danlim3763]

I'm offended alright ... very offended that you didn't make/share this sooner. Well done! Epic tie!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Dan glad you enjoyed it.

This fly is what I have been waiting for and didn't even know it. It's gonna land some unicorns.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hope you get a few pal, thanks for watching👍

[@thomasfischer1601]

Great tie and great video. Thanks!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

No bother 👍

Jesus, this is a change from the Mayfly nymph lol. Great tying.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I would be taken outside and given a blindfold if I turned up on the river with this.

[@frankmonroe8320]

Great tie. Keep it up.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Cheers pal.

[@edwardchavez5627]

Very interesting. I believe it will work well in the west warm waters as well.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

If you get around to tying it let me know👍

Hi Lindsay,, if you intend to keep the front hook, can I suggest you put a piece of high density foam on the hook while your working on the stinger it saves the fingers from getting jagged, if not just cut the hook at the bend, problem solved. It looks a deadly pattern, thanks for sharing. Cheers Jimf

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Great tip with the foam pal, I will give it a go.

[@drewrawcliffe5593]

I use dental floss instead of braid. Make sure you leave a little slack between the floss and rabbit. I was told to tire from the rear hook forwards, which saves fingers from hook points

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Good tip, the trouble with thinner connections is the tangles that ensue. I used to used Carp braid but it was hard work. 👍

[@lawrencemacd63]

Need swallow my pride tie them up & start using them Lindsay 😂

[@lindsayiflyfish]

It's just another fly pal, don't know what the fuss is about 😉

What does the song say, I've seen everything now, but I ain't seen an elephant fly. Well maybe next week Lyndsay! In saying that I've got a similar monster in my big and ugly box and I'm not talking about my taste in wummin!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I would like to see that pal.😀
