My Best Grayling Flies

[@JohnShelton-mh9ns]

Vlad it is no trouble at all to stay till the end of any of your videos! They all are literally a joy to watch; there is so many layers of wisdom you choose to share with your viewers, I could watch them more than once!!! Thanks for all you do.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much for such kind comment. Glad to hear that. I am very happy my videos are as you described them. Its huge compliment. Best regards Vladimir 🍻😀

Just seen this video. It is brilliant. Great information.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks 🍻🍻

[@wavessa]

Thank you master, the true art of tying flies

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you for unintentionally suggesting what to record. Its you who gave me the idea 😀

[@Adipper]

Nice tips and fly dressing. One suggestion to avoid the Caddis wing appearance you mention is to tie the CDC wing tips forward over the eye, cut and retain portion of butts, then pull over CDC. Fine dubbing such as Mole or Beaver can be worked around the CDC wing structure forming a firm foundation to retain wing orientation and prevent CDC collapse. Thanks! Good fishes.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you Enzo. Glad you like it. Thank you for the tying tip too. I will try it. Cheers and tight lines 😃😃

[@FlyFishMike_]

Thanks very much, Vladimir! I always learn some secrets from your videos, and I'm still amazed that you can tie on a hook smaller than a 20! WOW~! Nice work. 👍🏻🎣😎

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks, glad to hear my vids are useful. 🤣🤣, luckily my eyesight is still great... So down to size 32 i can tie. I posted a video about 32 size parachute fly 😃😃

[@irideaduck939]

I was glad to have the ant pattern last week in Alaska sight casting to grayling! I need to tie up a bunch more!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Ants can be an amazing solution.... Even without hatch they can produce good fish 🍺🍺

[@cmclee153]

Fantastic video. Simply elegant and elegantly simple. Can you do a video on the elk and cdc caddis? It is such a common prototype fly, but I am sure I would learn a ton just watching you tie it.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks a lot. 🍻 Cdc&elk is a fly i am thinking to tie for a while. Reason i havent done it yet is that there are tons of good videos of it already... If i think of feature for that video that may be unique i will do it for sure.... 🍻🍻

[@duderoony]

Perfect upload dude. All very interesting and helpful too. Suggestions..... just keep doing what you do! lol

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Great video

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much 😃😃

[@grantbreckell3081]

Real good video very informative, you are a true competition angler, Not many competition fishers would show the inside there box,, So cheers again and take care

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you... I believe that fisherman catches the fish... Not the fly... Also, I like to share.... Not all competitive fly fisherman are hiding flies... On lake session in slovakia... I was struggling, i am bad at lakes.... My opponent (french competitor) in the boat knew that...he got few fish... Cut the fly off the tippet and gave it to me..... Thats something i will never forget

[@lathkiller]

Thank you, great video 👍

Majstore, hvala za ovakav video! Prava riznica znanja za nekog ko tek počinje :muscle:

Hvala care, drago mi je da ti se dopada sadrzaj... Ako imas neki predlog, sugestiju... Samo pucaj 😃😃 ako mogu uradicu

[@aleksandarnesovic6869]

@@Oholisfliesandfishing hvala tebi što čak ostavljaš prostor i za nas da pitamo ili preporučimo nešto :) Tako da ću ovu priliku možda da iskoristim za pitanje: Ako kad pecaš na Drini, koje su ti bile najlovnije pred kraj sezone? A kad steknem iskustva, možda nešto budem mogao i da preporučim. Srdačan pozdrav, Aleksandar

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@aleksandarnesovic6869 na drini nisam bas godinama lovio. Ali ono sto mi je uvek radilo je hot butt caddis(vruca guza), maslinasta jednodnevka.... Obe u velicinama 18 i 16... Po brzacima slobodno i na 10ki... Za sam kraj sezone mislim da bi nesto sitno dobro radilo....osim ako nema jos October caddisa na vodi pa onda bacas ljudske muve velike 😃😃

[@aleksandarnesovic6869]

@@Oholisfliesandfishing hvala na odgovoru! Koju reku bi mi preporučio u ovom regionu? Sa obe strane Drine xD

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@aleksandarnesovic6869 lim definitivno..... Berane i plav. Ako znas lokalce ima i u srpskom delu dosta lipca. Ja obozavam taru i mrtvicu.... Nisu bogate kao sto bi trebalo da budu...

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Fascinating flies. :-)

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks, appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏

[@paramidge8935]

These are almost precisely my go to patterns for wild trout and Grayling - I probably use more paradun deer hair and parachutes than cdc - but I incorporate the cdc in smaller amounts for movement primarily. I'm lazy about changing flies after a few fish.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Deer is great too. I agree about changing cdc. Whenever i can i use deer hair. My favourite is cdc&elk. Amazing pattern

[@ivandelevic]

This is the best of the best flies for Grey! Thanks, Oholi' s!

[@davidlee8999]

great flies sure they will catch a fair amount of trout as well

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. Sure they will. I usually dont divide flies as grayling or trout flies.... Since they eat same stuff in the river... But grayling sometimes tend to pick smaller insects... I have grayling box.... But basically its filled with small flies... Up to 16.... And i use it on trout rivers too 😀

[@icedaft]

Very interesting. Thank's for sharing your experiences! Do you fish some size 30 Flies? Very small...

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I have some 32s as u could see.... But honestly i never used smaller than 24. I had few opportunities to use them... But i didnt have those tiny ones at that time

[@gerardosantucci7865]

Question: I didn't understand if you fold the CDC feather in half to make the wings. From the video, it seems like I see two quills... Thank you.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

hello, i am not sure what fly are you referring to. If you are talking about one i am making than its two cdc feathers, no folding involved

[@gerardosantucci7865]

Yes, correct i was referring to number one. Thanks for your reply!!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@gerardosantucci7865 no worries. Cheers 🍻🍻

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Also you talk sense about flies. Although I love so many patterns, especially the old traditional ones. there is so much guff talked about how effective so many flies are. There is no way the hundreds (thousands if we include variants) can each have their own particular appeal to fish. Some of them are just outlandish triggers to the fish-and so they work.But if the fish are hungry. they will not be likely to pass up 'food'. :-)

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

😀😀 Agree on that... People give too much credit to the fish. There is one thing that is constantly bad on all our flies.... No matter how good we tie... There is hook point sticking out our flies.... 🤣🤣 Anyway.... I believe that size, shape and general colour are important... So, getting exact shade, number of ribs or gills.... Thats crazy, thats bad fisherman getting an excuse for not getting fish 🤣🤣

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Ilmdm not a very good angler. Inonly started a few years ago (fly fishing) and left it very late in life. But I enjoy the art of it. I just giggle when I see all the flies around and all the people making big claims for their patterns. I really feel just a handful of types will do. :-) Your flies are a delight and I value your advice.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@TERRYBIGGENDEN same here... But i do like to experiment... It gets boring using same patterns all the time. But still, every time i go out fishing i learn something new.... I am fly fishing around 20yrs now, almost half of my life.... And i like the fact that we can never know everything.... Thats part of the beauty for me. If ever i came into the stage of getting all the fish (impossible) i will stop fishing 🤣
