Rattlesnake Streamer - Underwater Footage! - McFly Angler Fly Tying

[@mmatalk3817]

I have searched for this lure half my life! You brought the idea out of my mind, truly incredible work of art!

[@McFlyAngler]

Thank you sir!

[@mmatalk3817]

@@McFlyAngler Yes sir you are welcome! Now I just need to buy a few! Asap! lol

[@McFlyAngler]

Let me know whatcha want, best way is through Instagram. I’ll get them done as soon as possible for you.

[@andrewholmaas8295]

That is a nice looking fly. Ray Schmidt’s Rattlesnake that he developed in 1998 is an articulated streamer with the rear hook riding up and a clipped deer hair head to imitate a sculpin. If you see a picture of it you will know why it is called a Rattlesnake.

[@McFlyAngler]

Ok..... lol. Glad you like this one. And I think it’s obvious why I called this a rattlesnake streamer.

[@PENFOLD1962]

Could you video this fly being used and catching? Thanks for the video, I bought the fly tying clamp etc but finding it so difficult to tie flies!

[@McFlyAngler]

Just practice, when I first started tying I was having difficulty also. But you will get there with practice and time I promise. So I think a few videos of mine where I film myself fishing I’ve used this fly, I’m forgetting which ones though. It was a couple years back.

[@draven3838]

Nice fly ,going to tie some for spring fishing

[@McFlyAngler]

Great! Let me know how it works for you

[@bigpapi3636]

Hey Angler. Could one use this technique to tie a crawfish pattern? I'm looking for a snag less craw for still water to fish over weed beds.

[@McFlyAngler]

+Big Papi sounds like it could! Give it a try and let me know how it turns out

[@militarist7777]

Получилось круто.

[@derrekbeavers1942]

Could the same tubing look be achieved with Mylar tubing?

[@McFlyAngler]

Yes, basically what this is, just this is cheaper. Haha

[@flyfishingmaniac6802]

This fly is so awesome! I love the unique design. Did you invent it yourself?

[@McFlyAngler]

+FlyinThruColorado thank you! :) honestly, parts of it yes, but other people have tied a keeled fly like this with material similar. I've seen some semi like this on KZbin actually already. Really there is nothing new under the sun. Parts are my own take on a fly similar to this, hope that makes sense.

[@langstonfranco1989]

I know it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch new tv shows online?

[@jamesonsolomon4943]

@Langston Franco i use FlixZone. Just google for it :)

[@matthewnuttall2667]

This is amazing. Will be tying tomorrow

[@McFlyAngler]

Thanks

[@fernandomiron7557]

traducido y montaje un saludo la Carolina Jaén 👏👏👏👏👍

[@fishy4281]

do you know any alternatives for the tubing? cant seem to find any at caft stores or fishing shops

[@McFlyAngler]

Look on amazon.

[@marykaydonovan2630]

Is this used on a sinking or floating line?

[@McFlyAngler]

Either...

[@zenbooter]

Fly looking good, & catchy music

[@McFlyAngler]

Thank you! :)

[@MrRourk]

Could you do this as a tube fly?

[@McFlyAngler]

I’m sure you could. I can’t, I don’t have a tube fly tying setup. But give it a try! :)

[@masonp2560]

What vise do you use?

[@McFlyAngler]

Renzetti traveler 2000 series.

[@masonp2560]

Thanks!

[@pescaconchuchin4277]

Look great nice

[@McFlyAngler]

+PESCA con CHUCHIN thank you! :)

[@SithLord_66_80]

Try melting the ends of the tubing so it won't unravel 👍🏽

[@McFlyAngler]

+James Reynolds Great thinking thank you

[@allenjones1947]

you added cherry shrimp huh?

[@McFlyAngler]

+Allen Jones I had them, but only 3 before. They had babies, and now I have 25+... you never saw them before because the 3 always were hiding. Now there are only so many hiding spots. Haha

[@gordonpeebles1907]

very nice

[@McFlyAngler]

Thanks

What can I expect to pay for a god uv light kit?

[@McFlyAngler]

The "God" UV light kit is the sun.... Not sure you can buy that. HAHA Ok sorry, my humor is terrible... For a good UV light kit, that really depends. To be honest, some people are perfectly happy with the UV lights from China. If you don't tie a lot, (maybe once a week or less) then you might be ok with that. You can get them for $10 or so bucks just for the light. Then Solarez sells a kit of 3 different resins (you don't get a lot in each one) for $8 or something like that. However, the Chinese UV lights will break on you with extended use (I know, I've had a few and none lasted more than a few months for me). They also usually are not too bright, and will take about 2-10 times the time to cure as the lights you can get from US based UV resin manufacturers. I am partial to Solarez, and really like their stuff because their resins are very high quality, but they give you about 2-4 times as much resin in the bottles as most other companies (besides their basic starter kit which has a very little amount). I think Solarez sells a kit for $49 (its a smaller light, which is still bright, and small bottles of 3 of their resins). Then they sell the Rodie "Pro" Kit that has 1oz bottles of resin and a pretty high powered light (good quality that will last a while). That kit is $59. They also sell a super high powered light that will cure everything in seconds and that light alone is like $49 or something. Again don't quote me on exact prices as I haven't bought in a while. So like I said, I like Solarez. I use all their resins and like them a lot. However some other brands do make resin as well. Like I said though, most of the US based companies sell them for higher than Solarez (also based in the US). Their prices are higher, and you get less in the bottles of resin. Personally, I think the only thing that they do "better" is their packaging... But I usually don't buy products based on the packaging, but rather what the quality is on the inside. Thats my personal thoughts. But thats just me.

[@AndrewTilley04]

McFly Angler thank you so much for the input. I've been seeing people use them and wasn't sure which one to get. I'll definitely look into the Rodie one. Thanks!

[@McFlyAngler]

Yeah, no problem... Here is the Roadie kid ($29.95 not $49) - solarez.com/products/uv-cure-fly-tie-fishing-roadie-kit/ Here is the "Pro" Roadie Kit. - solarez.com/products/uv-cure-fly-tie-fishing-pro-roadie-kit/

Hi dear thank you so much for your video i seen your tying clip that's so nice i hope i can catch big trout with this fly . I am from IRAN. سلام من رضا هتسم علاقه مند به فلای فیشینگ اهل کشور ایران ویدیوی شما را دیدم خیلی عالی بود این پشه را بافتم امیدوارم بتوانم با آن ماهی های خوبی بگیرم . از شما متشکرم .

[@McFlyAngler]

+Ali Reza awesome! Do you do much fishing over there?

[@kodaifishing]

yes, If is it possible for you please send your email address i can send some my fly fishing picture for your

[@McFlyAngler]

+Ali Reza I have a Facebook, can you post the pics on there? Just search McFly Angler and you can find me. If you don't have Facebook, I will have to wait a few days as I'm busy moving and can't get to the PM feature on KZbin since you need a computer to access that.

[@McFlyAngler]

+Ali Reza I will soon, give me a day or two. If I forget, please remind me. I don't have internet on my computer yet, only on my phone, so I won't be able to till the cable guy hooks up internet at the new house

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Ah, super glue. Man, is it wasn't for CA glue, half the flies in the past 30 years would never have been invented.

[@McFlyAngler]

LOL well, its just one of the adhesives that are really important for a fly tying desk. HAHA. However, be careful! You really don't want to have too much squeeze out and onto a spool, or on your vice. I had a tube of super glue just explode once, and coated everything! Now, parts of my vice are not usable (can't move the fly up and down, only grip and rotate... ) And I ruined a bobbin and a new spool of thread. I was pretty mad. HAHA

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Yeah, I really don't like using CA glue. You're sitting there sniffing glue. It gives me headaches.

[@McFlyAngler]

+Black Warrior Lures lol yeah I hear ya

[@yohkodevilhunter8292]

Acetone will dissolve and clean SuperGlue (CA)
