It’s insane how effective this fly is. Saved a few trips for me due to ultra finicky fish.

I tied a few of these up over the weekend and have tried them out on a local pond for rainbows. Fished them under an indicator and the fish went nuts for them! I'm looking forward to nymphing with them on the river. Thanks for the video!

Used em at Pecos River, New Mexico last wk. & even with a very low water cfi level we 'Ta-Dowed' it. Good idea to tie alot due to the fact that they don't last very long.

The problem that I have to tie this fly, is because I finally cut the worm (rubber) with my thread, maybe is so hard, but if I don't make pressure, the fly undoes. Maybe I use so slim thread?

Why do you use a slotted bead? Would a regular CS bead work? Nice fly, thanks Devin

A countersunk bead would work. Slotted beads tend to be heavier for the same size so they are typically what I use.

Thanks Steven. I haven't found it to make any difference myself whether the ends are tapered or not. The movement seems to be the most important part.

Hey guys purchased your excellent video on euro nymphing...i tried the technique out this past weekend and i came up with an important question...i fished the rigs mentioned but have an issue with watching the indicator mono...on the drifts i only submerged the tippet up to the tippet ring (sighter above water)..i lost track multiple times...surely an inch or two of the sighter material should be below the water surface so changes in sighter colours or movements can be detected...its almost impossible to detect any takes when the sighter is 100% out the water?Please advise
@tacticalflyfisher3817
7 жыл бұрын
Ryan The Rock by having the sighter out of the water you minimize the affect of the surface currents dragging on the thicker sighter material and your drift will improve as long as the wind isn't blowing. Without seeing what you describe first hand I'm not sure why takes would be less visible when the sighter is out of the water. If you are losing sight of your sighter I suggest adding extra knots, using long knot tags, and adding a transition section of 12 lb amnesia above the sighter to help you see it more readily regardless of the background.
@ryantherock7664

Thanks for responding.I do realise the disadvantage of the drag issue with the much thicker diameter sighter mono going into the water.With the dual colour sighter mono i though the point was to watch the entry point into the water where the sighter mono enters the water.Since i havnt had a take yet i guess its difficult to describe.So is the sighter mono watched above the water?Does it move downwards sharply,hesitate?Ive done regular indicator fishing all my life so its difficult to understand.
@tacticalflyfisher3817
7 жыл бұрын
Ryan The Rock the main point of the dual color softer is just to give you multiple colors to watch in different light conditions. I fish my sighter out of the water when fishing up and across unless the wind is blowing. I look for any movement or hesitation to set the hook.

Do you add more weight when you use it for steelhead, since the heavier tippet decreases the sink rate? Also, do you make the worm longer? I tend to only make mine 3" overall, because I've had problems with fish grabbing and breaking off one of the ends and missing the hook when I've tried longer worms.
@tacticalflyfisher3817
8 жыл бұрын
Hi Kevin, I don't add more weight than just a bigger bead with steelhead. I keep the worm about the same size mainly because it tends to foul around the hook if it's longer. As you mentioned trout will bite the ends off as well but steelhead usually take it confidently.

I originally used it as a river fly for wild browns and rainbows. I didn’t even try it on a lake for a few years. So yes, it works well in rivers for brown trout.

Yes. If I tie a single tailed version it works well on a jig hook. The forward tail cocks back strangely if tied with two tails though.
Isn't flyfishing 'sposed to b fun? I have a blast..squirmy's or a hares ears. It's depending on the fish's choice..not mine. If it's not edible, & is tied with thread on a hook.., sounds like a fly to me. Have fun and don't let the never smiling, ho-hum purists change that! #FunTimesWithAFlyrod
