UTC Thread Body Tricks

[@hirkojs]

Mega Thx Ohli, being fairly new to fly tying I really appreciate how detailed your videos are. They truly help me understand more details about the patterns and materials you’re demonstrating !!!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much for your comment. Thats all my channel is about. Helping others. Cheers

[@johanfalkmarken]

This is a clever and instructive video! Thank you.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Happy to hear that. Glad if it was helpful 😀🍺

Great video.I have did this for years.I don't make videos,but thank you for what you do,for others to see.Keep up the good work.Cheers

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Good stuff... Same here, thats how we used to and still are making flies on Balkan. Very effective and easy. Thank you for watching videos 🙏🙏

[@МиткоКабадийски]

I've only been tying flies for three months, but thanks to your videos, the flies look great to me. You explain very well and understandably. I really appreciate and enjoy your efforts and have learnt a lot this few months. Thanks again and keep us happy with new ideas and videos about flies. Happy New Year! 🎉

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much for those words. It makes me very happy to hear that. Happy new year. I wish you all the best. Cheers, Vladimir

[@Gbow17]

Thanks Ohli! You are one of the best tyers I have ever seen. Really. Out of curiosity and since I didn't have the floss I tried it with a few antron fibers. It works and when twisted tight creates a round rib like the floss also seems very durable. Thanks again keep coming with the great flies and tips.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much. As you already noticed.... Floss is not a must... Its just easier to work with.... Create nice taper. I was using utc 70denier... So floss needs to be thin... Also there are some embroidery threads that have same structure as floss.... So u can use them too.... 😃😃

[@splishsplash2579]

Very Very interesting, and all seems to make perfect sense. Cheers for your efforts you are appreciated

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you. Its all about people watching and i am happy if i can help to some people out there. Thank you so much for watching my videos always 🙏🙏

Vladimir, este tipo de abdomen recuerda mucho a las ahogadas leonesas y con una buena combinación de plumas pardas de gallo leonés y cdc o incluso indias y un tórax en liebre son extremadamente pescadoras, con una buena deriva justo debajo de la superficie o haciéndolas subir al final de una deriva después de haberlas dejado profundizar provocan muchas picadas y muy francas

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Gracias por tu comentario. ¿Estás describiendo el estilo español de la mosca seca? Los vi y los amo. Saludos. Vladimir

[@raimundocasadomanas4788]

@@Oholisfliesandfishing sería el estilo Español de mosca ahogada, no de seca. La pluma de gallo vivo leonesa es un prodigio de la naturaleza y desde luego también para montar seca, tanto para tejadillos de tricoptero o alas de efímera, los destellos que produce esta pluma arriba es un reclamo brutal y levanta truchas desde distancia, te recomiendo que busques (El pardón de Meana) y te ilustrará sobre éste tema. Gracias por tus vídeos 👌

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@raimundocasadomanas4788 Gracias por sus comentarios. Me alegra saber que te gustan mis videos. Hasta ahora sólo he visto moscas secas con CdL. Nunca lo utipara cualquier cosa pero las colas. Voy a tener que aprender a usarlo. Es realmente una pluma magnífica.

[@billyis555]

This works with a Euro rig? On the tag I would imagine. Still learning the Subtle nuances of nymphing.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Any of flies presented would work. But point fly has to be light or/and drift has to be short and river shallow.... Mostly its something i would use as a single fly. I have a video in euronymphing which may be helpful for you 🍺

[@waynehanshue712]

Your precise work is so in lightly. So much help. UTC is one of my favorite threads. Can u help where I might find some good Jungle Cock. Thanks for all your information

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Mate, so sorry for my late reply. YTis messing up comment section. Thanks for your kind words. As for jungle cock.. No idea where yo get it.... I never used it. Cant justify the price tag. 😀

[@jorgemerino4709]

Thanks Vladi for the video. I take advantage of the occasion on the UTC threads, to highlight something very important in them. The strandas of UTC threads (and others as well), unlike UNI threads (and many others), are not tied together and subsequently twisted, so this results in a flatter thread that is much easier to manipulate when making ropes and dubbing loops, since we can separate the thread into two branches very easily.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Exactly. From all those branded threads UTC is among the best for sure. Very versatile thread.

[@trippjosue2375]

instablaster...

[@jp410]

Very nice video (and your others, too). Since the ribbing thread here doesn't seem to need to have the particular qualities of fly-tying thread (i.e., laying flat), it seems like you could use any thread at all, as long as the diameter is OK. Even more so since you're coating the fly at the end. I'm thinking normal sewing thread, as long as it's not too thick. Thank you!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Why not. Any thread is fine... As long as it doesnt have stray fibers sticking out. If it does surface wont be as smooth after applying superglue or resins

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Lovely ideas. They look great. I really appreciate and enjoy your efforts and have leant a lot this year. Wishing you a Happy New Year in advance. :-)

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Glad i could help. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you too 🙏🙏

[@flytyer2368]

Check out “Mole Fly” pattern. It’s what you tied as your emerger.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Quite similar. But my is shuttlecock style emerger... Its more or less like Hans Van Klinkens once and away emerger... But similar and i am sure it fishes just the same.... (i never heard for mole fly before so thanks 🙏)

[@flytyer2368]

You can see that the superglue made the color of the thread bleed into the ribbing. Why don’t you coat the entire fly with head cement first to “waterproof” the ribbing and then coat it with the superglue, The rib will stay nice and white and not turn a lighter version of the body color.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thats true about colour change, although using varnish wont prevent it(it will make time for making the fly longer) .. When certain materials get saturated they tend to get different colour. Sometimes waxing it will prevent it or using white underbody will preserve body colour.... Which still doesn't solve rib problem.... Choosing the right material solves it... But there is more than one way to do things... This way works for me Cheers Vladimir

Hi Vlad! This was a really good video (like all the others) So I presume the super glue you are using doesn't turn "white" with water. Would you mind sharing the link of where you're buying it or at least the manufacturer's ref?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I buy it in convenient stores here in china. Its 501 or 502. Both can be good. Problem is that even when you find one brand that doesnt get white, next batch you buy may turn white. So, i always test it before i start using it. Make one thread fly and varnish it... Leave it overnight in water ant in the morning i know is it good or not 😀😀

[@chasselynch5733]

Bsst discovery yet! It was a "ahh uh huh" for me

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Hahah thanks for such nice and cool comment. I know exactly how you felt. I had same feeling the first time I used these techniques. 🍻

[@thomasbrooks8112]

I can't find that Textreme polyfloss you've mentioned as ribbing materials. I've searched several fly tying suppliers that carry other Textreme products, but none of them carry the polyfloss in any size. Any idea where in the USA I might be able to locate this?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@thomasbrooks8112 dont bother, just find polypropylene yarn. One for parachute posts will do. Make sure you test it with one fly first. Because sometimes it can change color significantly after applying varnish

[@icedaft]

The french Fly what you are talking about is "la peute" from Henri Bresson. Made with only Mallard breast and thread. Ugly fly but very effective emerger.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thats the name.... First time i saw it i knew its a killer. Few guys from Belgium showed me the pattern... Later i saw it in some book with cdc... It was silk-floss for body and cdc for legs... But whole feather was wrapped..... Not as i did... But i try to do everything my way if i think its better..... Anyway, thank you for telling me the name.... My french sucks 😂😂

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Red ribbed brown or black looks quite juicy. Like a blood worm. :-)

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Never fished bloodworms... But i guess where they are present its quite a thing? I may leave few just to represent them 😉
