I recently met Rim Chung on the Arkansas river. I had some size 20 rs2’s in my box and he said “too big.” Pulled out a 24 from his box and gave it to me.

[@michaelcheroutes3485]

I don't know that I could bring myself to actually fish a fly tied by the master!

[@lincoln8322]

@Rayan Grayson Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

700 dozen out of a package of 2.50 Super Fine, now only if we could buy 700 dozen TMC 101's for that price. No mind I tied RS 2's I like this one, super cheap and the materials are everywhere. I tie all my Griffiths Gnats on the 101 from # 18 on down to 26. I have a dedicated box full of them. Along with Adams, I catch a lot of trout. My fishing logs show me over 50 years there is less than a dozen patterns I catch 98% of my trout on.

[@willdaskal340]

Hi, George. What are your dozen flies?

[@donaldburleyson3099]

I wish I could narrow mine down to a dozen flies! I'm sure that took a while to do!

[@jameshenderson3238]

I hope I get that great someday....

[@patsheridan]

Thanks as always Charlie. I struggle with the dubbing, keeping it thin and tight to the thread, especially when I start to wrap. How do you do it? Any dubbin wax involved? Help?!

[@alanfields3356]

Charlie great tutorial.. crazy question… does and is the RS2 supposed to float a bit??

[@CarlosGarcia-507]

How is this fished? As a dry, nymph?

[@Jon-qr9vq]

Thank you for the great videos. If you are taking requests would you add the Barr's Vis-a-Dun to the cue?

[@josephh957]

Hey Charlie! I spend a lot of time on the Taylor/Gunny, have you done a video on tying a Blue Winged Olive? I tie way more nymphs than dry flies and I’d love to see how you tie those! Thanks in advance!

[@delawarepro3539]

I tied with Charlie Fok-in Craven 😎 Looking forward to your Rusty series 👌

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Should always have some of these wherever you go , as Charlie says they will catch fish :-)

[@kaipeterson6852]

Tying since the seventies but I learned two cool little tips in watching this video. Thanks

[@tysonolsen6147]

Do you just fish this one as a dry? Been fly fishing several years, but haven't added this to my box.

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Tyson, typically fished as a nymph with some split shot down on the bottom, but you could grease it with flotant and fish it dry as well, but it’ll be very hard to see.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

will you tell us how to fish the flies as well? Is this a dry? a dropper? both? neither?

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Can polypropylene yarn work ok for the wing? Or is Antron best

[@EatShredSleep87]

Poly yarn works my friend. So does deer hair…pretty much any time you have such a question you should just tie it and try it.

[@danjohnson6292]

Charlie, do you think Coq De Leon can be used in lieu of the fibrettes?

[@brooktroutangler5917]

how does everybody prefer to fish this?

[@randydeskins9359]

I use it wet and dry on my tail waters. It is a great fly. Size 20-24.

[@beewrizzle5718]

I usually put it behind a larger dry fly keeping it right in the film of the water (so i can see if something eats it) or i put it under an indicater as an emerger. Tailwaters of colorado it is a go to

[@AllenStone-j8z]

Actually, this is a Polly Rosborough pattern from the late 1930s. The only difference is Polly did not use paint brush bristles for a tail. Nest to the Casual Dress, it is Polly's most famous fly. It should be called the Rosborough Style 2.

[@EatShredSleep87]

Actually no

[@Podobed]

By the way Charlie- that RS2 is awesome. Don't worry about what the camera seeing a little fuzzy body lol.

[@jasrobsny]

[@joshuaschumacher2777]

midge

[@Flies_the_limit]
