Absolutely awesome video!!!!! It is so good to see someone else educating river fishermen on the alevin ( infant trout, steelhead and salmon once hatched they remain attached to the yoke off the egg as a food source for about 48 days ). Alevin at this stage look like guppies with little tails, round abdomen and beady little translucent eyes. Great alevin pattern.... I would love to see you add more of a rubber tail ( micro mini ) fluttering behind the abdomin to the tune of the current. I have some very rudimentary alevin I create on my site at SteelyronsSteelheadbeads.com by flossing material through a bead ( alevin abdomin ) such as maribu feather ( alevin tail ) and other materials. This presentation of ( alevin ) works great trailing a bead, running tandem while covering two lanes during the spawn in low, clear, gin water conditions when the alevin have to bump off of the safety of their beds into deeper water where trout, steelhead and salmon find passage on their way home to the spawn..
great videos.I am looking at the griffin you use.can you post a video using a scud style pattern size #16....want to see close-up hook position in the jaw.also wanting to tie several patterns.Thankyou
WHAT SIZE IS THAT HOOK? USUALLY YOU SAY. This is a fantastic pattern. I can't believe I didn't write on this when I first watched it. I have watched it several times over the past few years. I always like to remind myself of great patterns and tie them again each year. Love your channel and creativity. Thanks all the best, Sean
Nice alevin Curtis. Nice way to weight the fly. I use rubber core sinkers on bigger (heavier) flys. Did you have to prepare that artic fox tail in anyway? I have a whole silver fox tail that's deboned but still keeps its round shape. It's hard for me to pick a spot to cut away what I want to use. I know you can get them in medallions for easier access but this is gorgeous, 24" long!
Fly Fish Food Thanks for the info, I've been watching a few videos on the subject and that seems to be the way to go, short of cut, wash, condition, rinse and dry. Comb & tye or go to beauty school 😉. Thanks guys, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both, wait there's a third member now right? Ditto to #3!
I stopped watching after the 3rd or 4th coat of resin. I’m sure it was a very artistic fly, but all that detail means nothing to trout, who biologists say, have at best 20/200 vision (legally blind to humans.) But fishermen are gullible. I’ve had fishermen ask me what color fly I was using after I released my 3rd fish at first-light on a sinking line. My fly is literally 20 feet down in pitch black water.
@@FlyFishFood when it gets down to several coats designed to make an egg yolk look like it has over-medium consistency, a little runny toward the back of the minnow, yes, it means nothing to a trout. Very pretty to humans though. 👍🏼
Nice pattern, has a lot of steps though. Thanks for sharing.

Can you use the radiant orange tungsten inverting beads instead?
I tie these with different materials and they are good.
Nicely done! UV skillz!
great trout fly and steel head fly

It says right at the beginning, Daiichi 2546, #4.
Thanks must have missed that. All the best, Sean

We have several full tails for our personal tying, and as long as the fibers are straight you are good to go.

Is there anyway that you could list the materials for each fly that you make under the videos?
Matthew Hazelrigg they always list them at the beginning of each video
What's next eyes In the egg?

The detail means nothing to a trout huh? Ok. But what if the resin is holding a critical part of the fly together? Would you approve?

Sorry we ruined your night Rich.
@@FlyFishFood I think your taking it too personally. Like I said, very artistic. 👍🏼
