Rusty Trombone Articulated Streamer Fly Tying Instructions by Charlie Craven

[@RollinRollinReelin]

😢Mr. Craven, this is the third tying video of yours that I've watched this morning and I love it! I might have to go on a binge with your videos!

[@josephsichting8162]

Beautiful fly X 2! Thanks, Craven. Always love your vlogs.

"Maybe just don't look it up." 🤣

With a name like that I’m surprised Kelly didn’t design it :-) Thanks for sharing

Put the cone on first, then put on an appropriate size bead into the cavity of the cone. Thread dam the bead securely into the cone. That locks the cone into place.

[@RoryLynott]

Awesome method to secure a cone. Thanks!

[@jamescorliss1965]

5 wraps of led fits perfect and probably cheaper

I live in Casper and fish the North Platte all the time. This fly and the Goldie are super effective. Workers on both one handed and Spey rods. Don’t leave home without them.

[@jakerite1951]

I miss Casper and the North Platte. Especially the Miracle Mile except when they put brood fish in there. All the way to Alcova

[@paulbridgers3820]

Another great looking fly from the master. Thanks for sharing.

[@cmdoody]

excellent tutorial. Nice job!

I like to add some rubber legs to mine, but an overall effective pattern 👍. I've also stopped buying the smaller sizes of polar chenille. For one, some of the colors they don't seem to make in the smaller sizes (like the copper olive you used here), but also it's just one less thing to have in my tying supplies.

[@alanbigcheesehautly5009]

Love your warning at the start. HAHA

[@RoryLynott]

Depending on the conditions, I dig this one fished without the conehead.

[@tinoyb9294]

Yes, brown/yellow/gold Platte River colors or red/black/grizzly/silver. Never caught anything with olive. I think it looks too much like moss where I fish.

[@glennsands9127]

A rabbit or marabou cape on a JJ is a monster!

[@Airman-nr4yb]

Very nice steamer. I have given you a like and subscribed to your channel. I will be tying this pattern in different colors (pink, black, blue, white and purple). I can see these colors working very well too.

[@PatrickPharo]

Great looking streamer from Charlie, as usual. The only complaint is that my search history is now a little more "adult".

[@regularSenseAppeal]

"He is still wrong". LOL

[@cachi-7878]

Good morning Daddy! Hahahaha!

[@TheLymanDiamond]

Killer looking streamer. One question… What size spider wire compared to the hook size is best? I’ve been using 30 lbs Stainless steel leader on size 6 and 8 hooks and I’m starting to think that I’ll get better movement from the spider wire. Thank you.

[@CharliesFlyBox]

@@TheLymanDiamond I use 30 pound SpiderWire for pretty much everything that isn’t wire. A hard wire loop gives more whip but fouls more. Spider wire and can be used with a square knot and be tightened up so there’s less fouling. I use both but don’t really have a method to my madness

[@TheLymanDiamond]

@ thank you.

[@realityobservationalist7290]

Do you think there is any benefit (or downside) to wrapping the chenille and feather separately vs together like the "complex twist" fly fish food style?

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Twisting the hackle with the chenille does bury the stem but in my opinion, looks like 💩 so…

[@realityobservationalist7290]

@@CharliesFlyBox , Agreed!!! I won't tell the squatch.

[@RollinRollinReelin]

Hello sir! I have a question. What type of "spider wire" do you use here on this double wooley? I checked Amazon for it and what I'm finding is a braided fishing line. Is that it? Thank you sir! Great video!

[@CharliesFlyBox]

@@RollinRollinReelin that’s the stuff!

[@RollinRollinReelin]

@@CharliesFlyBox thank you!

[@MerchantMarineGuy]

I love Rusty Trombones

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

You can tell your wife that everything is organic otherwise it would be synthetic LOL

[@louismassey4371]

Full disclosure I started tying flies because I have a stock in silly names

[@craigdirrim644]

Very creative name. The guy who took umbrage with the two bit hooker would be outraged

[@tinoyb9294]

That was me, and I am. The scotch drinking, cigar smoking competitive red-assed-monkeys are ruining the quiet sport.

[@Mouafishingthings]

Googled Rusty Trombone…. Who knew 🤣😂

[@sonja9001]

Trombones don’t rust they oxidize! They are made from brass and sometimes copper……just ask Charlie Vernon!

[@ruebdogg1]

Ez does it
