This guy can't be a real feather bender. look at his desk, so clean, so pristine.

[@jakekeeton7940]

Thanks for the great video. I recently took the Red-Tag to the central Drakensberg South Africa 🇿🇦 The result was the best stream fishing I have ever experienced. The pattern was irresistible to the wild spawned Brown and Rainbow trout. The fish in this area are known to tough to catch. I was amazed when I saw trout dart across entire pools to chase down this fly on the drift. I fished it under a small indicator.

[@alcoholfree6381]

This video is well done. I’ve tied flies for about 50 years and really get a special joy out of catching a fish on a fly I have tied. This man communicates his excitement and his passion for the same things: tying and then fishing his ties. I was impressed with his tying room, very beautiful and calm! Thanks

[@sonja9001]

The flies are fantastic. I am sure they will work in Colorado. I learned so much watching the fishing segment on Euro nymphs for and Grayling as well. Thanks for taking the time to share your talents!

[@timothyhopkins5008]

I found this video to be very informative and enjoyed watching it, I was very impressed with the information and the ability to catch numerous trout and still have the nymph looking the same as the day it was tied

[@l0ranga]

The pattern that have worked best for me (and have been given most time) is a frenchie like yours but with salmon pink dubbing as hot spot. I’ve got to try the peacock dubbing though👍🏼 Love the technique twisting the fibers around the thread! Thanks Cato!

[@oscarbarreiro4266]

The quality of your videos is simply fantastic, although I prefer the dry :-) You have managed to make the best nymphing video I have seen and you give very valuable advice. Thanks for that! The tying video is very clear, and I can see that you make the flyes really durable! I am crazy about fishing and I would love to try your flies wherever I go, this summer I will try to go to Finland. Tight lines and thanks again!

[@richardpm38]

Thank you for a great video, I like the way you present the videos, and the way you explain things, I have tied up a couple of the Red Tags and the Hare's Ear Nymph and they look great with the Peacock Green dubbing.

[@alcoholfree6381]

These are great flies. I would love to fish these flies. I have had a long fishing career and have caught countless fish; mainly trout and steelhead. This week I took a younger man up to my favorite spot on the Deschutes River in Central Oregon. I’ve been teaching him how to fish. We were doing tight-line nymphing. I was blessed with a large strong rainbow but he did not get into a fish. I would have him use these flies and hopefully he would hook into a nice rainbow. I sent this video to him. Thanks for your great work!

[@markoitmard]

Great videos, got some new ideas how to do stuff. And your channel is the best flyfishing channel!

[@dano956]

The red tag broke my slump. Even caught a smallmouth with it. Great pattern can’t wait ti try them all again.

[@catorenevivelidmonsen8497]

Lovely! Cheers Danny

[@stevenallen8247]

Great style and thoughtful comments. Love the white fly display stands too. Fishing for grayling on the ruby in Montana. Simple but effective fly tying tying techniques.

[@pepe15710]

I always have the 3 flies in similar variants. Top video, thanks.

[@cassiusclay282]

The hares ear with cdc has worked very well for me. Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦

[@kjellremi89]

Would love to try these out for my first hunt for grayling!! :D Awsome video!

[@oliverpetavy2701]

Great Video...thanks for sharing...just beginning to ty my flies, but with your instruction I enjoy....thanks and go ahead making great fly fishing videos

[@JeremyAndersonCreative]

Really nicely done, Cato. Your tutorial gave me some new ideas and I'm going to try them myself. Of course, if you want to send me the flies, I'll probably keep them as models for tying. 🧐

[@johnshand6176]

I tie very similar patterns down-under in NZ. I really appreciated your informative video. Well done and thanks.

[@catorenevivelidmonsen8497]

Cheers John!

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Excellent presentations. Somany variations of the Hare's Ear. :-) It's a great pattern in any form.

[@sir_brix_alot]

Awesome video man! I'm going to the North Platte River for the 1st time this fall would love to try these three buggers!

Thanks for the great video. I would try all three on an upcoming trip to the Maitland river in Ontario, Canada.

[@user-ec4xl1ys2z]

Great video. I have learnt stuff I wish I knew long ago. Simple ties which I don't I doubt will work. No fancy vanity stuff, just common sense.

[@alejalbor]

Thanks for sharing it Cato. I usually use a similar patterns in Patagonia, really are very effective.

[@chrisstreet1994]

Thanks for the great video! Your 3 fly choices look very effective and would work perfect where I fish. Hopefully I can get a few!

Thank you for kind words Paulie! Cheers.

[@zhannapresa7691]

Hi guys! Every year we go fishing in Sweden and Noregia. I like to fish for trout on a nymph, and my husband likes to catch grayling on dry fly. We like your channel! All videos are nice to watch. and they are also very informative. It would be nice to add a Russian subtitles.

[@dirkreese6230]

Yes !My first from you is ready:-) Thanks vor instruktion !!

[@tomastomas6665]

Hi, great videos you make. Yes, less on the hotspots. Here in NorthCal here is a high pressure on the fish. Guys use alot of beadheads now days that really scare the fish. Here, one of top 3 flies definetly is zebra midge. Super simple to tie, natural and effective.

[@l0ranga]

Great video and so fun to see what an experienced competitor are fishing with (but I guess you keep your secret patterns for your self;)

Superbes montages et explications je vais m’empresser d en monter quelques jeux Merci Bien cordialement de France

[@dano956]

These are absolutely my favorite nymphs, they have worked amazingly for me this summer. Will you be doing more patterns? I hope so.

[@catorenevivelidmonsen8497]

Glad they worked, Danny! I will publish more patterns in the future on me and my friends KZbin and webpage. Cheers

[@nidd49]

Cato, congratulations on an excellent and very instructive video.....and for solving me a problem. I am trying to standardise on just a dozen or so patterns to replace the many, many,many,many,many flies I already have and these three are destined to become my ONLY nymph patterns here on the Yorkshire rivers for wild trout and grayling. My other favourite flies are of course Yorkshire Spider patterns, hope you have tried those early season on your waters? I also liked your bead box, where might I get one? Should I win, your flies they would be great models to work from and then displayed along with those I've been fortunate to get from Oliver Edwards and Marc Petitjean and Hans van Klinken Thanks Again and Regards

[@brianreed1451]

just brilliant. I have a Sage ESN 10ft 2wt. how does that compare to the Vision Maniac

[@dinoconsabor]

Great video. Excellent presentation, camera work, and narrative. What did you use to spin the dubbing loop? I have seen videos showing a dubbing loop, but none that go into the basics of “how to” do I a dubbing loop.

[@49684]

Pick me! Pick me! 😊 Those 3 flies would make a great addition to my shadow box. 😍

[@russelltaylor3102]

Awesome!

[@benkimbrell8849]

I have tied a similar peacock herl fly for years with no hot spot. It is my biggest producer so I have named it the suction fly. I just tied some with the hot spot and am anxious to try it. Thanks for the tip friend. Should crush fish on the Tuckaseege River in N. Carolina.

[@scottnock5241]

Very nice, I’m learning to tie euro nymphs I picked up a lot of good tips!! Do you have a video of that whip finish by chance? Love the flys and explanation. Thanks

[@Andersbrook]

I find it easier to do halfhitches with the finger 😁

[@user-iz7zy7rx9t]

Great looking flies!! Going to try these here in BC for greyling, whats the plastic clip your using to put the CDC in the dub loop?

[@rodneybroome486]

I would like to try using your nymphs on my Tenkara rod. Thanks for the info

[@catorenevivelidmonsen8497]

Have you tried them Rodney? And did they work? :) Tight lines.

[@duderoony]

Nice nymphs dude and really well demonstrated too. I actually feel I might be able to manage these following your clear instruction! lol. I’d give them a go on the Upper Thames.....

[@flytyer2368]

I always take 1 turn of thread under the CDL tail fibers. It helps to hold them up and out.

[@catorenevivelidmonsen8497]

Smart move!

[@danielbergman8980]

Så jävla bra! 😘

[@kayzox6709]

super mercis beaucoup

[@FSCHAMP]

Nice nymphs! What size hook do you use for the Red Tag? I saw on the package in the video that it is a Partridge Cech Nymph hook size 20. Is this correct? If I see the flies lying on the table and the other two flies are made on a size 14 jig hook than it doesn't look like a size 20. Thanks for sharing the patterns. I am going to make them to use them in Finland.

[@chrisruef9221]

I'm going to fill my box with these.

[@olliebassett105]

I will test them in NZ!

Hi Denis. A good friend of mine bought them for me. I think it´s from ebay. Cheers.

What kind of box do you have your beads stored in?

[@oscarbarreiro4266]

I forgot to ask about the fluo-markers you use to paint the nylon to serve as strike indicator. Are they normal ones or of some specific kind? Thanks in advance!

[@braddanna]

Really like that box for the bead heads...any idea which on that is?

[@colinmarshall820]

Want to start winter grayling fishing and need to know what flies to use many thanks

[@MrPepping]

Great flies. What size hook is the red tag?

[@clementmortel4285]

Merci pour les traductions française 😁

[@abahmufishing]

Nice love it's

[@williamemmons8816]

I use cdc as a collar on nymphs as well, , but I tie the feather in at the tip and 2-3 turns. . If the cdc is too long grip it with thumb and forefinger near the hook eye and tear off the excess.

[@normandrabouin6572]

bravo la traduction est bien belle mouche . merci

[@pr0faker]

Without the bead the orange tag is also great for rudd in smaller sizes and Ides in bigger sizes, especially with fluor green instead of red or orange and with a big black hackle instead of cdc.

[@Strutsi]

Damn they are pretty. I've got to find some time to tie them.

[@jeanlucbeaudre1004]

Bonjour supers montages petite question mets tu plusieurs mouches comme décrites sur ton bas de ligne bien cordialement

[@tomhh9161]

My number one fly is a pheasant tail that i tie almost exactly as you do your pheasant tail. However, i use black peacock dubbing instead of green. Do you think i would catch more fish if i tried green?

[@javixbarber666]

Hace 1 año que vengo pescando con esas ninfas y realmente son letales, mueven truchas grandes. Yo las uso con un dropper o para la pesca al hilo y van súper bien...

[@stevenroberts3648]

Hi the uv glue you use for Whipp finishing the nymph what make is it plz

[@DoruIlcus]

Where did you buy the box in which you keep the tungsten balls?

[@termite122]

those simple suggestive patterns will catch fish all over the world..nicely done..you are definately better off making a amore durable fly when you counterwrap your material then wrap your wire rib in the direction of your thread yet most everyone does it the opposite way..if you think about it when u counterwrap a wire rib you are actually somewhat loosening it when you tie it off because your thread is not going the same direction if that makes sense but it is 100% true..

[@timothyalton3821]

My only question is where did you get that vise?

[@tannerbanks727]

Where did you find the subdivided box for beads? Manufacturer?

[@johnread2250]

Fish on Productions do a nice box of tungsten beads in either countersunk or slotted, good quality

[@81djensen]

Can i buy these somewhere?

[@user-cv8wl2xn7d]

Hi ? thank u good picture!! I try to make flies,which I have no natural or grey cdc feather, using white cdc. Rainbow trout does not byte...OTL.;; Ahm.. Cdc color infruence to byte the fries ? I think so. What about u ? Where can I buy the natural or grey cdc ?

[@timfuller3148]

What is the purpose of weighting a fly so heavily then putting CDC (float feather) at the head?

[@thatsmallrockshop]

Dont pick me. As i will just tie them myself nothing matches the excitement of catching a fish on something you made yourself. Fishing rod included.

[@kurtcameron7562]

[@angussoutter7824]

You would be better with vice facing the other way i’t will make it easier for you 😊

[@MrPierreLebon]

Competition?? You are competing with flyfishing? Whatfore?

[@johnroberts3082]

I’ve no doubt these a great trout and grayling flies. I use very similar patterns BUT they are not the patterns you name. The names belong to other traditional flies and you have tied variations of them and they should be described as such to avoid confusion by less experienced anglers or tyers. Great tying but too casual naming.

[@aidangonnelly]

IMO this is so far from the Original Irish or documented Hares ear nymph, the world of variants of variants! the original hares ear has only hares ears from tail to head! with a gold rib and peacock wing casing! their is 1000's of flies labelled off the original and are called so because they have one material from the original material used! Sorry its a pet hate of mine, i hate flies call something they are not i've 10 hares ears variants in my box but there all call hares ears variants with what ever the dominant material is! if your shown this fly side by side to the original they are completely different! I've tied flies for near 40 years and my passion is sourcing original materials and patterns! Its a fine fly but is not a hares ear nymph, maybe a distance relative of a variant!!
