Splitwing Quill Body Mayfly (how to split wings easily and make indestructible quill body)

This is easy way how to tie split wings plus old fashioned way of how to tie indestructible quill body. Its very nice, fish-catcher mayfly imitation. Depending on number of cdc feathers used it can be used even in very rough water. Personally, I prefer using this one in calmer areas and on picky fish.
Tying tip for this one, use as thin thread as possible.

I'm going to apply some of these techniques to all of my mayfly tyes from now on

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks, that is exactly the gial of my vids... To show technique more than a pattern.

I love watching your videos! I live in Interior Alaska and we have some amazing large Grayling nearby. I'm looking forward to a long winter trying your patterns. You are a very skillful tier. Thanks for your content!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much for your kind words. You live in a very beautiful place. Only winter is too long i guess. Hope i will have a chance to fish Alaska one day

Proper modern approach to sensible fly tying! Great patterns well executed.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks mate 😀. Glad you like my videos

[@farioreo]

I commented below while replying to a comment and yes.. Antonio's pattern is very popular in Europe, Spain included of course which I also use along with this great pattern

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. Spanish are great fishermen and tiers..

[@dannymcg8300]

I just came across your KZbin channel. Your video's are excellent and very well explained. Thank you for sharing.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you for being here and for your compliments. I appreciate it. Any suggestions or criticisms are welcomed too 😃😃

[@davesmith7906]

Great use of the cdc, I’ve been using up to 4 feathers for my larger split wings, I like the smaller back wing as well, thx

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks.... Yes.... Smaller back wing is nice touch, but it supports fly very well....

[@hankvana2149]

Nice one Vladimir! Quill bodies always look so good and modern adhesives make them durable and practical.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you Hank. I agree, no need to ruin quill with some ribbing, now with all those adhesives or UVs it became very easy to deal with them.. Plus they are very effective

[@duderoony]

Another great pattern dude. I’ll definitely try this one. Thanks for uploading.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Great fly and tying demo

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks a lot. I hope you will like my other content too

[@jaceross8026]

Great video! Unless I’m mistaken, this seems very similar to Antonio Rodrigues fly patterns by umpqua but this seems like a much better way to tie them

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. Well, he sounds spanish? I saw this type of flies while i was on a competition in portugal. All Spanish and Portuguese guys were using them. In Serbia, where i am from we use the same type but without hi-viz part. So it was kind of natural upgrade to flies we use... Its amazing fish catcher... 😃😃

[@farioreo]

Antonio works for Umpqua.CDC patterns like this are widely used in Portugal,Spain(where I fish and live for 6 months/year,France etc plus the famous Spanish perdigones ( pellets is the literal translation)I love this pattern.. it's one of two types I use.Good fishing

[@farioreo]

In the Spanish model without the stems I use 3 feathers for # 18 and 4 for #14 but have to be good quality with lots of fibers...need to make sure it floats well and that I can see it.This great pattern goes well with two since the stems are not removed.Have a great day

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you for that information. I used feathers without rachis before, but i think flies hold shape better when i keep the rachis (stem) What i saw most Spanish and Portuguese people do is this hi-viz poly between wings. That i took from them 😀 Cheers Vladimir

[@francescoreale1022]

So with this pattern the body of the fly goes under the water?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Usually not. Coq de leon tail is the support on the rear. But even if it does sometimes its not a bad thing. 🍻

[@urbancorpse5547]

great fly but you talk like you are talking to everyone as tho they are idiots, very insulting and offensive

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I can not assume level of tying skills of people who are watching my videos. So if i just say things that are ment for more skilled people i am missing the audience who is probably having more benefits from this video.. Regarding you being offended by it.... There are multiple options to solve that issue... Easiest is not to watch my videos.,. Make them silent and so on... You get ofended too easily... Cheers Vladimir
