MCCABE'S PLUS: Fly Tying Tutorial

In this fly tying tutorial, Brian Flechsig at Mad River Outfitters puts his own twist on an epic pattern originally tied by George McCabe in North East Ohio. The McCabe's Plus is an excellent crayfish pattern that is sure to catch plenty of feeding carp.

Just wanted to say thank you for all the fly fishing videos. Fished all my life (now 40) but never picked up a fly rod until a few weeks ago after watching your tutorial videos. Second cast, about 2 minutes into fishing and I snagged a bluegill. It was a rush that I haven’t felt using a spinner or baitcaster and I can’t wait to start tying flys. Thank you again; keep up the great work!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks a ton for being here. Stay tuned!

Love this version of the many crayfish patterns out there. Tying some up as fish love em in my local & my brother took my last crayfish ties as they looked to much of a blag to tie. Cheers from Jon over in Mid Wales.

Thanks for watching. Good idea.

[@SmallBoreOutdoors]

The part that goes past the eyes is a 'rostrum' for future reference. Great fly! One for the box no doubt

[@Madriveroutfitters]

The Chronicles of Bond Thanks! We aren’t going to tell him though. He’d pretend that he knew that. Let’s just let him say it wrong. 😉

Hyun Lee Perfect!

[@Valscorn01]

How does one get into fly tying? I'm not a super experienced angler so i'm not even sure what works and how to make something that works.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Valscorn01 Stay tuned. New series called Getting Started in Fly Tying is coming soon.

[@loganpenny9762]

Loving this pattern so far but I’m having a lot of trouble with the claws. They seem to fray and look like one big glob at the end instead of a set of claws, am I getting too much maybe? Attaching it wrong?
