The World's Easiest Dry Fly Pattern...

[@Teamwoody]

One of my favourite flies to tie, thanks for the great video, it’s now saved in my favourite fly ties folder. 😊

[@keithmoon4690]

Being a new to tie flying although I’m in my late 60’s Thanks so much for this simple olive pattern I tied it last year after seeing this video and caught fish every time 👍I’m currently trying 18 & 20’s ready for the start of this season in April

[@FordyGoesFishing]

Wonderful!

[@davidcudlip6587]

Looks like a great search and prospecting fly to try out on spring creeks. Definitely going to tie this pattern in a couple sizes and colors

[@emilleum48]

That is a nicely tied dry fly, and you are a tremendous teacher, information was clear and concise, MSG Leum

[@commoncorysense1809]

Thanks for the step by step and layman terminology

[@hgj2019]

Well said! I have always also held that confidence is the key element!

[@jtwhicker]

Nice alternative to a standard Adam’s and seemingly more forgiving

[@FordyGoesFishing]

Yes and a lighter and more natural impression in the surface film than a fly tied with a more robust hackle too.

[@scottgraham3492]

Wow, that fly looks great to me, thank you for posting that!

[@dennisgrocholski4190]

Excellent tie and explanation. Thank you.

[@donneal1352]

Nice job on the fly.

[@terryyarnall9495]

Thank you for a wonderful little fly.

[@pabbyification]

Nice pattern and beautifully explained.

[@FordyGoesFishing]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@scottgraham3492]

That looks great to me, well done I feel!

[@FordyGoesFishing]

Thanks!

[@johnclarke3427]

Nicely tied but the are lots of dry flies you could have chosen that are far simpler to tie

[@smp5577]

Nice pattern and very thoughtful explanations! 😊

[@harryblair597]

just started tying great vid very easy to follow big thank you

[@oreilly6365]

Lovely fly, will be trying this tomorrow. Tried my very first fly today a grey wulff, maybe not the easiest fly to start on but my hook size was 14, tad small for a beginner so ill maybe try a few of yours at size 10 👍. Thankyou!!

[@pauldinda5831]

Terrific video. When I return home to SC shortly and to fish in the Smokies, I intend to watch many more of your videos. Thanks!

[@JohnDoe-l1kmya5s]

Wow thanks for the excellently detailed instruction

[@francoisa5928]

Thanks for the video, beautiful!!

[@wstewic]

Very nice and instructive video!

[@robertperman8967]

Very nice ty! Tight lines🐛🕷️🐜!!!!!

[@komando8365]

Love how the tail points down and slips around the hook, looks amazing.

[@michaelh3994]

That's not how it should be

[@johnshand6176]

A very nice simple tie and one I will replicate for my upcoming trip to Tasmania.Just subscribed so looking forward to upcoming videos. Kindest regards from down-under in NZ.

[@simon40607]

Just made some 👍🏻 thanks for your excellent videos

[@seyboldart8281]

Great video/fly... Thanks!

[@paulabradfield5893]

Love this olive! I will tie some up this weekend. IIf I wanted to turn it into a parachute adams, could I make the cdc white?

[@FordyGoesFishing]

Hi Paula. Yes you could. Darker CDC is often easier to see though. Especially in bright conditions. Customising is always good fun.

[@brianfeeney9493]

Brilliant Mate !!! Thank You ✨🎣💫

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

Lovely!

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Maybe it is easy to tie, but it looks very effective.

[@glennplatvoet7111]

Nice thanks

[@IrishRebel88]

I kinda feel like the Griffith's Gnat is less complicated than this. Or a glo-bug?

[@FordyGoesFishing]

Think it depends on skill levels a bit maybe? Getting nice even turns of peacock and hackle without snapping the quill can be a pain.

[@lbtn1]

Beautiful fly but most fly fishermen can’t keep a cdc fly dry.

[@laytonjames9741]

At 2:57, the gap between the thread hanging down and the hook eye can’t possibly be 5mm - can it ?

[@FordyGoesFishing]

🤷‍♂️

[@comesahorseman]

👍👍

[@paramidge8935]

Not the easiest - that would be a cdc and elk/deer hair sedge surely? A nice unfussy fly nevertheless that will catch fish. Thanks.

[@FordyGoesFishing]

Well I’d say anything with elk/deer hair is a total pain in the backside, especially when you’re just starting to tie.

[@flugfiskekunskap]

The F-fly is the easiest fly to tie. There are others as well. The superpupa The Griffiths gnat The shipmans buzzer There are many that are easier and faster. But yeah The easiest dry fly is the F-fly.

[@Teamwoody]

Great pattern and already tied a couple and they look great. Many thanks

[@rayray8212]

Various colors? Is that kapok a tan color? I believe that is what was or maybe still is, used in life jackets. Thanks

[@FordyGoesFishing]

Not sure about the life jackets thing but that would make sense as it’s very buoyant for volume.

[@FordyGoesFishing]

Update…..it was used in life jackets, but apparently no longer as it loses buoyancy over time.

[@robinred1851]

"The world's easiest dry fly pattern"!!! And therefore it takes a 20 minutes video!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@FordyGoesFishing]

To make a video and explain yes. To tie if not making a video and explaining….no.

[@helgeo.sommer584]

👌💪
