Schneider's Fledermaus is a unique fly pattern that incorporates a dubbing loop. This method of tying became the inspiration for such famous fly anglers as Ed Shenk and his "chewy" flies which included his version of the Sowbug, Shenk's Minnow, and others.
To learn more about Schneider's Fledermaus and how it differs from the fly of the same name derived by Polly Rosborough, check out Issue #5 of Dark Skies Fly Fishing Magazine. Author Bob Paine discusses this fly's origins and evolution. Here's the link: darkskiesflyfishing.com/magazine.
Materials to tie this pattern are very simple.
In this video, I used the Model 8 2XL nymph hook from Wholesale Fly Company: wholesaleflycompany.com.
