Maddin's Chromatic Peanut

Russ Maddin opened up our winter tying events for 2019 with the Chromatic Peanut. It was a huge turnout and a fun night full of friends and flies. The Chromatic Peanut is an updated version of the now classic Circus Peanut that has been catching fish for nearly two decades.

Russ, I really appreciate your tying style. You seem to have a very practical view of the flies you tie., ie. they are part of your "tools" to catch fish. You don't seem to see them as works of art to be primped, trimmed, and labored over to the point of perfection. These are a working man's flies. Tied to catch fish and to last a long time. Thanks.

The Circus Peanut is my "go to" Largemouth bass fly. I started tying it with UV Polar Chenille about 4 years ago and caught my personal best largemouth, 9 lbs, 7 oz, on one. I have even caught flathead catfish and white bass on them.

Nice tutorial. But I don't understand why he wrapped the chenille toward him instead of away like the thread. Thanks

Each tyer has their own style. Russ does this to better lock in the materials and create a more durable fly.

@@brianpitser3028 ok, thanks.
