Crane Fly Larva

[@philipjones6083]

Great video and instructions brilliant stuff

[@TenkaraGuides]

Thanks for the shout out. This has been a great bug for us. We tie it from huge to tiny and it works everywhere.

[@DeeMoback]

Yes! ..... huge is good .... #8 hook size really produces for me

[@tightlinevideo]

Thanks Jason. Your killer-bug-addict story was amazing (wish I could post the link here). I laughed, I cried, I forwarded, then went in search of yarn.

[@troutbum61]

Have been subscribed and watching your videos for some time now. I greatly appreciate your quality of video, great detail of methods and multitude of patterns covered. I also think its great when you mention or give credit to other tiers, as you did in this one.

Clean video. Nicely described. You have rare nice voice for news casters or narrator voice use mostly for doc, wild life , like national geographic etc. I'm a foreigner and english is not my first or even 2nd language, but a few people do speak in clean English. George Page had unique and mellifluous voice. He created the PBS series Nature, and hosted and narrated it for 20 years.

Fair play Bazlur

great video! the trout at the end was great ending..

[@slickydicky]

That sure was a beautiful fish at the end of the video

[@CombatFlyFishing]

I really like the technique you used to wrap the thread to form the body shape near the weight. Great video. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch some more of your videos. -Tim

Great vid! All of them by the way. I have to confess i almos never fish dry fly's. I even sold my winston boron IIt to buy a sage 99. I am really addicted to killer bugs. Through this vid i end up at the article of jason klass and i went through te same. Unfortunately i still didnt manage to rehab so i still fish nymphs 99.8% of the time. I comfort myself with the idea that i rarely use a strike indicator :P. Killer bugs rock! Greetings from the Netherlands and a big compliment for al the tying!

[@jasonklass6]

Nice video and thanks for the mention!

[@tightlinevideo]

Most of the time I don't use a strike indicator and just carefully watch the end of the fly line or the leader for movement. In fast water with a lot of line out, I do like to use them to better see any movement that might indicate a take.

[@wanazeman05]

Ahhh this makes it more appetizing for z e fish

[@flyman451]

Very nicely done! You have are a good teacher. Mind telling us where you bought that yarn?

[@seizedcarcass8440]

You should do a video on the Utah killer bug as well as the original. Basically the cousins of the Walt’s

[@ArkRed1]

Will the TMC 200R # 10 and # 12 work if the the Dai-Riki 285 is not available? I tied this fly today and it was very productive. It will be better when I get the proper UTC floursescent pink thread. I had to use just regular pink sewing thread. Thanks.

[@98dfree]

Could you incorporate a tail, maybe the tips of a CDC puff? Also what part of this fly derives at all from a walt's worm?

[@Thebazzman]

I don't see any Drake fly patterns in your repertoire, do you have a green drake pattern?

[@flyfishjones]

That was a nice wild brown (the adipose fin was bright red). Do you nymph fish with strike indicators? I'm mainly a dry fly fisherman don't know much about nymphs.

[@brooktroutangler5917]

what hooks are you switching to after Dai-Riki?

[@bentpolski]

I use Hackle Pliers on the end of the wool

[@edwardlindhorn538]

where did you get that yarn?

[@macke889]

wow awsome fly

[@lancegurney3764]

Thanks for the video

[@harleymandk]

what vice do you use?

[@jacobstarr9010]

Dyna king

[@croughsjacques8088]

cette larve est aussi une variante du célèbre "Killer bug" de Sawyer...

[@richmason4680]

www.lovecrochet.com/us/jamiesons-shetland-spindrift Here is the link for the shop I found mine. Had to wait awhile ,as it had to come from England.

[@biologistangler7901]

It looks like a more socially acceptable version of the mop fly, which can often be criticized for not being true fly. I wonder if it works as well?

[@jacobstarr9010]

Who cares if it's socially "acceptable"? If it catches fish it simply works in my opinion.

[@ejuicebox0x013]

Oh oh oh oh ho ho hoooo no.

[@Boon-ie1rq]

Crane fly larvae flies are obsolete now. They've been replaced by a newer technology called mop flies. 😂 Jkjk. ..

[@Lewis5z]

Where do you purchase this yarn? I'm having trouble finding it.

[@tightlinevideo]

Currently it is very difficult to find. The source I had is completely out. That said, any yarn looking remotely similar will work just fine.
