You are a good teacher you explain techniques so that they are understood thank you
Great looking fly, you are a great teacher ,really explain every technique that you do and why you do it.thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next one.
Practice, practice, practice…just like life. Thanks Charlie ✌️
Probably the first small fly I fished 30 years ago at Deckers when I learned to fly fish. Started with the hares ear, then brassie or the RS2. And still use them today. But now my new ones will look better and be more consistent. Thanks!
Went in to my local fly shop this summer as a new guy and asked ...dude sent me home with the material for ...you guessed it...a Woolly Bugger....while it came out okay, I was like "really?! This is the best one to start with!?"
So I bought some car wash mitts and tied some mop flies to learn thread control and whip finish!! lol
Thank You
Thank you!! I learned more from this video..then in 20 years on my own!!!!!!
I've caught many a rainbow on these little guys. Tha ks for the tutorial.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us and teaching the tool of the trade and taking time to show every turn of the thread it’s very precious and consuming I appreciate very much thanks extra large
@9:14, thank you for saying that! 🙏 I never understood people doing this all while saying it helps lock-in the material. It never made sense to me so thank you Charlie.
The one thing you didn't talk about is how well fish take this fly. I tye the Brassie just as you teach except I use peacock herl for the thorax. I fish Hat Creek in Northern California, and the fish in the wild trout section take this fly readily. Great job. I have your books and use them along with your videos to continue learning. Thanks for both.
Very clever and brilliant thinking
Hi Charlie. Thanks for another good n precise tutorial on the technique of tying a brassie. Which the principle explained here can n are usable on various fly recipes. Keep up the good work. God Bless n Fish on!
Finger nail clippers are great for cutting wire.
Nice 👍👍
I remember being humbled with the Brassie and the Copper John when I was starting out. You would think you couldn't mess up just wrapping wire, but you definitely can! lol...
Side note, I think that's the first time I've seen a Brassie tied with black dubbing instead of peacock dubbing or natural peacock. Was this an original recipe?
Not the original, which was, indeed, peacock. This is my version (at least the one I’ve always tied) after being fed up with the peacock herl’s lack of durability. Dubbing definitely holds up better when all you’re doing is catching one fish after another!
@@CharliesFlyBox , Ahh it all makes sense now. This all boils down to Charlie's "problem". I'm sorry Mr. Craven but not all of us catch 30 30-incher's every day. I mean, I do, but not all of us are so blessed.
lol.. you're absolutely right, peacock falls apart very quickly. I almost never tie it without twisting it with thread.
Cheers man, thanks for all you do. Have a great summer!
Is there any need for head cement?
Great lesson on this fly. Where can I register for your beginner fly tying classes?
They are typically posted on our website in the fall…September-ish. You can give a call to the shop to get on the call list at the end of summer
At what size should you down-size the wire to “small” or, do you always use “brassie”? Thanks! 🎣
At 22
Thanks for the reply!
@4:29, I’m so disappointed, Charlie. I wanted to see the Pro version of that wire spool, totally unraveled, with multiple ends from which to choose your next piece.
What exactly is this supposed to imitate?
It imitates something a fish will put in its mouth, just like every other successful nymph ever tied.
@@winstonchurchill4340Big brain response. Thank you.
Trout are stupid. Probably a midge.
IIRC, the full name of the fly is the South Platte Brassy. Evidently, the South Platte River has a caddis larva that uses coppery colored sand granuals to build its case and the trout are fond of them. There the Brassy is an imitation, elsewhere it's effective as an attractor - probably because it fishes deep. I think of the Brassy as being the original perdigon. Cheers!
Learn to tie a brassie well and it translates to that other not used nymph the Copper John.
We’ll agree to disagree on the “locking wraps”.
Oh? Do tell.
If I may @CharliesFlyBox two locking wraps in front maintains the tension on the tie down wraps through friction between the thread and hook shank. Is it necessary for somebody with as much thread control as yourself? We’ll that’s another question.
I’ll get the popcorn
Actually, that’s incorrect. Going in front of and behind your wire or whatever catches the previous thread wraps on the edges, and pulls them tight. I love your videos, and you’re a great teacher, but this one I know because I filmed it in macro to see for myself. It probably doesn’t help much, but it does further secure it. ONLY if your wraps in front of the tie off point angle back over the previous wraps behind it.
I clicked on this video to see why it 14 mins long. Because this fly takes 2 mins to tie.
It takes one minute to tie; it takes 14 minutes to teach.
@@CharliesFlyBox hahaha don’t lie Charlie you just love talking. 😂👍🏼
Don't tell anyone about this fly.
Please.
