I've decided this is what I'm tying this weekend. I have all those materials in a variety of colors with different sized hooks. Thanks for the video.

[@MainelyFlies]

Have fun at the vice!

[@BeyerOutdoors]

@@MainelyFlies Thanks

Very simple fly, thanks. Tight lines🐛🕷️🐜!!!!!

[@ZacharyBobbie1611]

Thank you for putting the materials in the comments! I appreciate the video! Tight lines my friend! 😎🎣

[@MainelyFlies]

No problem, not my favorite part of making the videos but I’ve been making a point to be more consistent with adding them

[@Demolitiondude]

Cool classic tie.

[@juliangoodman9000]

Is this an imitation fly? Or is it more of an attractor. Am I using those terms right?

[@MainelyFlies]

You are, this one would very much and attractor with its bright colors and general shape. Could be a bait fish, could be an emerger in smaller sizes, or it could just trigger a snap reaction with its bright colors.

[@Doc_Watson]

You forgot the brass eyes... I picked up some thin brass colored metal sheets and a raindrop shaped hole punch from a craft shop and that's what I use for the brass eyes on the various Edson patterns.

[@MainelyFlies]

I did should have at least mentioned it. I’ve never actually tied them with the brass eyes. Never had any on hand. I’ll have to try your method next time

#flies at first i thougt It was going to be mor red than yellow

[@MainelyFlies]

This is the classic way but a red body works quite well for my waters in the fall too

[@MrTougiejr]

Nice tie and vid as usual but, nah. Pass...

[@MainelyFlies]

Fair enough! These definitely are not for everyone now adays

[@tommytorquemada2186]

​@@MainelyFlies As someone who cut their teeth on wet flys fishing rivers growing up, these old classics are still reliable fish catchers to this day, still a testament of time of success. Its Much appreciated the time you take for each upload you do so keep up the good work & all the best from 🇬🇧👊
