Nymphing Baitfish - Small Fry For Fly Fishing - McFly Angler Fly Tying Tutorials

[@bobbertheclown2907]

this is on of the best baitfish patterns I've seen I like the fact that its a little smaller. I definitely going to give this one a try. thanks

[@McFlyAngler]

Thanks!

[@joeduca8582]

Awesome looking fry pattern Shawn 👍 I love the way you built a taper. You certainly achieved a baitfish profile. Thanks again!

[@McFlyAngler]

Glad you like it! :)

[@russelllieser4226]

Cool looking fly.

[@McFlyAngler]

Thanks man!

[@theonedonatello]

Been waiting for this one! So pumped to try it I’m thinking it will be a good pattern in my area. Thanks for the vid

[@McFlyAngler]

Glad you like it! I have caught fish with it already, but coming up in March/April this will do great on my local river as well. The trout hatch at that time (roughly) , and there are tons of these little frys moving about. It will destroy the big browns who target the baby rainbows.

Sweet tie, appreciate you sharing! I think ill have to make one!

[@McFlyAngler]

Awesome man, tell me how they turn out for you. Thanks btw

[@bobbertheclown2907]

wow, this is one of the best looking bait patterns I've seen, thanks man. I'm going to try to tie one of these for sure. :)

[@McFlyAngler]

Thank you

[@nicolelewis1828]

Thanks for this! I had first seen a similar fly to this last November at the Trois-Rivières Fly show (Québec). I've been tying a simpler version just with tinsel on the shank and either a marabou tail or a two rubber legs as the tail. Both version catch fish. I like your variation a lot. I will be incorporating peacock herl (always a winner IMHO).

[@McFlyAngler]

Ha thanks! So I think I came up with this idea like 3 years ago, video here was 2 years or so ago... I wasn’t the first person to come up with a nymphing baitfish fry though, there have been a few others to do it.

[@yoopermann7942]

have you tried this fly on blue gills and brook trout? as soon as i can get some made up for me i`ll be trying them out

[@sanjuanriverflytyer9389]

I love the fly patterns you tie including this one. Keep it up! Also this is one of your customers from float n fish.

[@McFlyAngler]

Thank you! :) Good to hear from you! BTW, if you want to buy these, they are for sale on eBay hand tied by me.

Отличный Малек вышел.

[@survivorjohnny44]

I've been sorta Bing watching your vids lately as I play around tying flies. I think this is my favorite pattern of yours. I really like it by but of course I'll change it a bit and swap foam for lead for a slower sink rate

[@McFlyAngler]

Thank you! Let me know how well it catches for you. And for sure, the beauty of tying is custom making flies to your own needs.

[@survivorjohnny44]

@@McFlyAngler I forgot to thank you for all of the great tips you put in your vids

[@McFlyAngler]

Yeah thanks man, glad they helped.

[@PRACERZ]

Very sweet, thanks !

[@McFlyAngler]

Glad you like it

[@yoopermann7942]

have you used this fly on blue gills and other pan fish? it looks deadly for yellow perch and brook trout,,,,,, thank you for the tips

[@McFlyAngler]

Yes actually and it did work well.

[@MountainStateAngler]

Thanks for the educational video.

[@McFlyAngler]

No problem, happy to help.

[@davismcc6580]

Gonna have to tie up a few of these in white/silver

[@McFlyAngler]

Yeah man, that would be nice as well.

[@aflyxonados9194]

Wonderful bro.

[@McFlyAngler]

Thanks! :)

[@calvinferren1949]

Lost one exactly like this e few days ago and was trying to figure out how to tie one or where to find one this fly works for bass too I caught 8 bass on this fly in one day

[@McFlyAngler]

Very nice! Sounds like it worked for you. Let me know how tying this one goes for you.

[@DwayneMcguire]

man thats an awesome tired fly bud

[@McFlyAngler]

thank you! About to be for sale on eBay if you want some?

[@engdia1]

Awesome fly do you sell these ?

[@McFlyAngler]

I don’t sell any flies anymore unfortunately sorry! I’m really glad you liked it though, they aren’t hard to tie, you should give it a try!

[@engdia1]

@@McFlyAngler sure thing - thank you

[@gregs7087]

Nice, reminds me of a "surf candy".

[@McFlyAngler]

Yeah sorta huh? A tad different though. I have tied many of those, in fact I have a few video's. Including a surf candy that has weight, and swims hook point up. Check that one out if you havent before. Either way, I think this is going to be a trout killer on my local river come March/April.

[@kobehernandez9930]

Jesus 16/0 thread?? Every time I use use 8/0 thread it snaps

[@McFlyAngler]

Ha! You could use 6/0 if you wanted. I just don’t tie tight, since it’s covered in resin
