Mole&Orange Spider (Wet fly)

[@stillwater62]

To be a simple fly, it is a beautiful fly. You make it look easy and beautiful. Thank you for this great tutorial video. I will be tying several of these and following your video closely. Thank you again.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you immensely. Glad you enjoyed the video. Happy tying and tight lines 🍻🍻

[@mountaincreekfliesjimmy8386]

I tie a lot of soft hackle flies so this is a huge tip for me. Thank you as always. 😊😊😊

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Hope it will be useful. Cheers :)

[@ajj4483]

Beautiful tie, your videos have helped me improve a lot, thank you!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@ajj4483 thank you for your comment. Glad i could help. 🍻😀

[@hopper1aoa15]

For folding feathers use hand sanitizer gel,it holds it folded and then it will evaporate when the fly is tied.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I will have to give it a try. I got better in folding since this video. But it just makes sense to me. Thank you 🙏

@@Oholisfliesandfishing you're welcome....it's acts on the principle of hair gel....

[@danlim3763]

Thanks for the tips in the video. This'll help me lots in my tying.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Glad to hear that. Happy tying . Cheers Vladimir :)

Another fine specimen of the art of tying the wet fly! Thanks again for another lesson and video

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you for your kind words. Glad you like it. Spiders are relatively undiscovered in my fishing. I have always had them but i avoided fishing them since i wasnt confident. That improved though. However, i need to learn much more

[@lincolnparmer9708]

@@Oholisfliesandfishing I have spent 25 years fishing soft hackles caddis, mayflies, and even size 24 tricos. It can be very rewarding. I don't know the type of water you fish but I have tried them all. And they still work. Linc

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@lincolnparmer9708 I am not in any doubt that they work. Its me who needs to improve technique. I catch fish, but i believe i could catch more. :)

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Vlad: I'm not that great a fisherman. I just love to tie flies. I'm sure you could out fish me anytime. LOL

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@lincolnparmer9708 thats less important. I love tying too... Although i love to beat my numbers and i was in two world championships that doesnt mean much... How much one enjoys it is all that matters. So we are both winners here I'd say... Both love tying and fishing 🍺😃

[@Tjk186]

Great flies and tying tips as ever...like the way you use minimal dubbing to suggest life...thank you Vladimir

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much. Minimal in these patterns is great. No need to go too much with material.

[@randydeskins9359]

Always great flies and tying tips.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Glad to hear that. Thanks so much 🍺😃

[@schmoonkie]

Beautifully done. Thanks for posting Vladimir. I've been using Stonfo hackle pliers with a built-in spring to avoid the rachis from slipping out. Additionally, I add a touch of Veniard wax to the jaws, which seems to help.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much. Seems that most of my mistakes happen when camera is ON 🤣 I have shrink tube on my hackle pliers. Jt helps... I dont know why this slipped.

[@johnshand6176]

Great tips! Have tied a few up for my upcoming trip to Tasmania. Kind regards from NZ.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much. Have a great trip 😃😃🍺

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Beautiful fly! Since I watched a DVD of Oliver Edwards I have been delighted with this fly! Very well tied. It's very interesting how you treated the partridge feather before tying in.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. Oliver is one of the first proper tiers i had watched.. Its time when Internet wasnt a thing. Now its easy 😃😃 Its interesting but still not good enough. Those batbs have to go all to one side without any stray ones...

[@dennisgrocholski4190]

Wonderful - as always. Thank you.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much 😃🍺

[@bobbell5265]

Excellent pattern and well tied

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much. Cheers Vladimir 😃🍺

[@comesahorseman]

Very nice tie! 👍

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much :)

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Very much in the 'bloa' style. I love spiders. and toe and fish with them a lot. Nice tying. :-)

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much. Yes, i was inspired by them... Beautiful style of flies.

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Yes indeed-they are so elegant. I enjoy them. It took me a while to get the hang of working with soft hackles but I'm reasonably competent nowadays now. I notice that Hans Weilenmann ties the hackle in first from the thick end, but Whatever method works is fine of course. :-)

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@TERRYBIGGENDEN sure, there are multiple ways to do it all. no need to be exclusive about tying. Or anything for that matter,.. I wish i can say that i am happy how i fish wets... I am still learning a lot every time i use them. Amazing flies for sure.

[@favst666]

gorgeous fly! also hguge thanks for the tip to fold the feather, countles times i dropped tying particular fly due to fighting with disobedient hackles :D TIGHT LINES!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks, You literally inspired me to make video. So, thank you. 😀😀

[@sheldonlipschitz5952]

What is special about mole as a material? Could you suggest a substitute dubbing material, please?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Its pretty short and thin hair... regardless its spikey and has buggy look. Squirrel trimmed off the pelt short would work just as nice

[@sheldonlipschitz5952]

@@Oholisfliesandfishingthank you for your reply. Would fur from some area of a hare’s mask work too? BTW long time fan of your tying, learned so much.

[@sheldonlipschitz5952]

I’ve got some muskrat fur which looks spiky. I’ll try that. Cheers

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@sheldonlipschitz5952 if you have whole pelt than see maybe to mix ear fur and some chopped short underfur. Thank you for your kind words. Glad to see people are following for longer time 😀

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@sheldonlipschitz5952 muskarat should work maybe even better than hare.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

Its very hard to get ahold of partridge...

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Amazing stuff... Just for fun, search bamboo partridge.... Super nice material.
