Slump Buster - McFly Angler Fly Tying Tutorial

[@edhamilton755]

Thank you. You keep getting better and better.

[@McFlyAngler]

Thank you

[@TheCoolwhipped]

Tied dozens of these in olive. I do a slight variation and don't weight the body, just the cone head, and they are great for getting deep FAST. Love this fly

[@McFlyAngler]

Yes you can tie without the weight for sure. Thanks

[@michiganfisher9253]

Great job, guess i need to get some squirrel.

[@McFlyAngler]

Thank you, and yeah squirrel strips are awesome materials for streamers

[@charlieboutin3341]

Great fly! I’ve caught hundreds of fish and won the only 2 tournaments I’ve ever been in on my simple version of it. Olive or Black, either is effective. It’s definitely a confidence fly. There’s always some in my flybox. Thanks McFly! 👍👍🎣

[@McFlyAngler]

Thanks, and that’s awesome! Fly fishing tournaments? Where do you do the tournaments?

[@charlieboutin3341]

@@McFlyAngler It’s a club tournament. The Club used to be Fredericksburg Flyfishers but we merged with Kerrville and it’s Texas Hill Country Flyfishers now. It’s a team tournament for Rainbows we stock in the winter. I just remembered this year was my 3rd tournament and we took 2nd (my partners fault..of course 😂) But he also uses the Slump buster, he’s the one who showed me it..of course I altered it to my liking and added bit of yellow to the olive. The Morris Mauler is also at the top of my list. Basically a brown and yellow marabou jig. Martin Pursch (I’ve called him Marty McFly for years, coincidentally) who owns Country Flyfisher in Fredericksburg showed me that one. We’re 60 miles NW of San Antonio..swing through sometime. Have a great and blessed one McFly! 👍

[@McFlyAngler]

Oh wow close, very cool! Maybe some time I’ll try and swing by. Thanks for the invite

@@McFlyAngler you are very welcome bud.

[@kareldemunnik2902]

Nice pattern 😀, I will this one for our Dutch waters. Great for perch and walleye

[@McFlyAngler]

Awesome thanks man! Yeah I am sure it will work for them.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Nice! It looks a killer pattern for predator fish.

[@McFlyAngler]

For sure, one of my favorite flies for large predatory trout targeting sculpin

[@jackjohnston3289]

that’s a sick fly

[@McFlyAngler]

Thanks

[@semmysvlogs5707]

I love the fly my strips are bulky should I trim them before wrapping the head

[@McFlyAngler]

You can yes, if you want.

[@semmysvlogs5707]

@@McFlyAngler I just have a problem hiding the hide

[@McFlyAngler]

Oh yeah ok, so there is another technique here for that. Ever done a dubbing loop? Try that. That trims the hide off and then you twist it up like a furry hackle in a way. Look up dubbing loops and you will find some tutorials. Actually I think I did this same type fly with that technique. Look for slump buster on my videos and I think I’ve got like 3, one of them is with the dubbing loop

[@semmysvlogs5707]

@@McFlyAngler thank you I’ll try that love the videos

[@hirkojs]

Morning Martie, Mega Thx for this Great video. Since I don’t have any squirrel zonker strips, can I simply trim a small 1/16” or so strip off my squirrel hide for use per your video example?

[@McFlyAngler]

Yes for sure you can, but that is a pain. Strips aren’t too pricy, I’d personally just buy some but you can cut your own if you want

[@dennisgrocholski4190]

Based on your recommendation, I went to Dooley's Fly Fishing website. It appears their website is down or they are out of business. Any update?

[@McFlyAngler]

Not out of business and interesting I wasn’t aware of the site issue. It was working yesterday. Let me find their phone number and I’m sure they can setup an order for you

[@McFlyAngler]

Can you message me on Instagram? I can get you the number there so I’m not posting it online

[@McFlyAngler]

Ok so just heard from them, they said that they put it down for a day or two because they are changing some stuff. Moving from Illinois to Arkansas so the site needed some work to get it compliant with the tax laws of Arkansas

[@skyiswomb1]

Tie these oversized with rabbit strips for bass. Works great.

[@McFlyAngler]

Yes, absolutely! Great pattern

[@Duschbag]

I'm an avid Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass Fisherman and with your permission, I'd like to copy this in a larger and heavier version for Bass.

[@McFlyAngler]

The point of me making these videos to teach people how to tie the flies. Tie it up and fish it for sure. Make it larger, smaller, add things take away things. Make it your own and have fun! Enjoy!
