Tying a Foam body mayfly with Barry Ord Clarke

A foam extended body mayfly with a parachute hackle that will float all day long and then some. Don't be fooled by this simple pattern that is not as challenging to tie as it looks, it just takes a little time.

Beautiful work!! Tight lines🐛🪲🐞!!!!!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you.

I've fished all my life. I'm 61 and been an avid Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass fisherman since I was a young boy and my father taught me to catch Panfish. But one of my many regrets is that I never took up Fly Fishing. I've never tied a fly and this just amazes me to no end. You Sir... Are an artist and I applaud your skill and patience. I would love to have this as a hobby. You guys make it look SO DAMN EASY... 🤔 And I know it is not. Thank you for such an educational video.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Warren, thanks! Its only practice and a whole load of skill! LOL.

[@tinkmarshino]

You know Barry I have always enjoyed watching professionals work with there hands.. But you add that special touch that makes it 10 times more interesting.. you teach very well.. You make it so anyone with a bit of patentes and practice can make these beauties.. That is priceless.. I think this is the highest achievement that man can attain.. To pass on what he has learned to the next generation.. Well done my friend you do it brilliantly..

[@Thefeatherbender]

[@hankvana2149]

Nice one Barry! Will have to tie up a couple to match the huge mayflies (1 1/4 inch bodies) that hatch on the local lake midsummer. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Hank, let me know how you get on!

[@melvynwood2824]

Wonderful Barry. I will tie a few up for my yearly pilgrimage to Lough Arrow.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Melvyn.

[@NegroJonesStrikesAgn]

Do the flies really matter to the fish? I've never fished with flies. Just worms and minnows and a Snoopy pole so I don't know.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi, Yes and the more realistic the better.

[@NegroJonesStrikesAgn]

@@Thefeatherbender do you have instructional videos on casting? Something for beginners? I may want to add fly fishing to the bucket list.

[@Thefeatherbender]

@@NegroJonesStrikesAgn Unfortunately I only have fly tying videos but I am sure you will find them on YT. Good luck!

[@rightmarker1]

NegroJonesStrikesAgn - look for Rio fly line products on KZbin - they have excellent videos on casting techniques from basic to advanced. 😊.
