Lucky B - Fly Tying Instructions by Charlie Craven

[@sethchedester7370]

I'm very excited about this pattern. Thank you for sharing Mr. Craven. Can't wait to spend 3 hours trying to tie my first one. 😂😂

[@silvertip8k278]

I wonder charlie if the fish you're trying to catch and soon release appreciate the meticulous detail you put into your patterns...I think not...but we do!

[@codycoyote6912]

I love yellow jackets and I'm always looking for the next best pattern. I'll be tying these up this winter! THANKS!

[@michaelogden5958]

RIP Blue Background 🙂 Amazing fly! Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic! This is a cool little fly. I don’t fish for trout because they do not live where I do. However I use a lot of “trout” flies for bass and bluegills and such. They all eat pretty much the same stuff. They can be just as particular about the fly’s appearance sometimes but most days, that just does not matter to the fish. I still tie flies as pretty as I can because I enjoy tying flies. Thanks for the recipe and the video.

Expertly tied and colored up to give a true to life pissed off appearance! I have to agree with you Charlie, this is one of the coolest bugs I’ve seen in a bit, and I love the extended body movement allotted by the thin mono.

[@cachi-7878]

Be all what you can be, tie the lucky B and catch a B-utiful trout!

JAW DROPPING! Thanks Charlie!

[@Single_Handed_7.62]

Really cool fly. If at all possible when you say you’ve been working on a fly for a while, I’d really like to see an early example of the pattern, to get an idea of the patterns evolution. Really appreciate all your videos. Thank you, Mr. Craven

[@RGRIMOWEN]

I am going to save this one to my saved youtube vid file. I am going to have to play with this one some over the winter I think, Speaking of yellow jackets, I filled my car and my favorite Shell Sation and as I drove off I had guest. A yellow jacket, the bug was a bit slow for a yellow jacket, I guess I would be too, we are well into fall there is a bit of a chill today and in bug years my guess the damn thing is 90 in human years. I cracked the window and sent him on his way. Charlie always manages to come up with something really different at the vise. I guess that's why you make the big bucks. This bug is nothing more than some yellow foam yarn and some for the lack of better words rubber legs and a hook, the most expensive part of the deal is the Coptic marker. It's a yellow Jacket for sure. I learned early in my Boy scout days about those and setting up a tent on a nest. My parents were of the sort that If I didn't die, you'll live.

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Love it!!

Tying this pattern, I like the take a black sharpie and color the edge that will be exposed on the rear section when I wrap it. Give it some colored sections to improve the imagery. A person preference. A great fly pattern. Thank you for this one. ---Just my two cents.

[@jeffreymoore6701]

Charlie, just tied one up…what a fun tie and realistic pattern. Can’t wait to fish it.

[@kenb4685]

Super amazing. Crikey.

[@BobBohner4851]

Wow. I gotta tie some of these. Great fly. How deep was the water to use this ? What species like it? Think panfish would like it to? Thanks so much

[@TroutSoup1]

Man, once again phenomenal. Gonna have to twist up a few for meself since it’s gonna take at least a few years before the public can buy them ;)

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Sooner than you think, they are available now at your local Charlie’s Fly Box!!

[@brianfeeney9493]

If they “ STING 🐝 “ the Trout, as well as I’ve had them STING 🐝 Me …… that there Pattern Will “ BEE 🐝 “ a WINNER 🎉 Thanks KING 👑 CRAVEN ✨ 🎣 💫

[@hirkojs]

Awesome looking fly. I’ve been working on my own take of a yellow jacket but it’s not as good looking as yours. Maybe I could send you some to give me your thoughts?

[@rcbarrettjr]

Beautiful. Thanks for another masterclass, Charlie! Wonder if you spray-bonded 1mm black foam to 2mm yellow, and then wrapped the body with that (black side-down), if it would create the black segmentation for you (vs the sharpee)?

[@marclawson7552]

As Charlie always says: you do you

[@craigpryke43]

Mr Craven an amazing pattern not only in execution but the thought process behind. Thank you thank you from Siuth Africa. A question is the macrame the cotton acrylic or some other type. You’re a legend thank you

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Thank you! Polypropylene macramé yarn.

[@shanehertzog5812]

Hi Charley iam going tie this fly. Charley can I use. Monofilament 30LB.? Australia.

[@johnbush2499]

Any issues with tying it on? It looks like the foam is covering the eye. Nice pattern regardless.

[@fernandomiron7557]

If it doesn't have eyes, it won't catch fish! ;P

[@mikehulsey4813]

Wouldn’t be able to see where it’s going
