Tying Gunkel's Double Shot Baetis with Shea Gunkel

Umpqua Feather Merchants Signature Fly Designer and Guide Shea Gunkel dropped by the shop to tie his latest creation, the Double Shot Baetis fly. A variation of his popular and fishy Shotglass Baetis, the Double Shot Baetis features an additional tungsten bead to help get this fly down into the feeding zone. While Shea chose to tie the "Charlie Blackmon" variation (read: Black and Purple version) of the Double Shot Baetis, this nymph can be tied in a variety of sizes and colors to imitate a wide selection of mayflies.

Awesome class with Shea last night, thanks so much for putting that together!

For those that insist on a specific make of vice, see The Fate of the Furious where Dominic Toretto says "He knows it doesn't matter what's under the hood. The only thing that matters is who's behind the wheel."

Interesting tying style.

[@beertrout]

Do you happen to have any information regarding the pedestal base for the vise?

[@zipsquadrant]

its just part of the vise

[@xtremenzsniper]

Why would you not just use standard uv torch set resin as protective coating..?

[@bobreece8462]

You can, but its much more time consuming than epoxy.

[@briggs13a]

How much is the material to tie

[@johnnyryall4932]

Correct me if I’m wrong. But isn’t this fly already called a Two Bit Hooker? How is this a “latest creation”?

[@6jswizzle]

I think the primary difference is the placement of the beads. Both beads are in the thorax here, where as the 2 bit hooker has one in the head and one in the thorax.

[@brandonhakulin5752]

Definitely 2 Bit Hooker. Charlie Craven came up with it not Gunkel.
