- Hey everyone, and welcome back to the channel!
Today, we're tackling a tiny titan - the green micro aphid fly! This size #22 bug is a favourite amongst rainbow trout, but its small size can be intimidating to tie. Fear not, fellow anglers! In this video, I'm going to show you how to tie this deadly fly quickly and easily. So grab your materials, get those hooks ready, and let's tie some fish-catching machines!
Materials:
-Hook in size 22-24
-Thread: Sumo Power Thread 30DEN
-Body Thread: green perdigon thread
-Ribbing: tinsel pearl -small
-Coating: uv resin
-Wing: CDC white
-Thorax and legs: green-chartreuse cdc barbs dubbed
Tying advice: use very thin threads to avoid a bulky look. Use quality materials because otherwise everything becomes a pain :).
I’m tying some of these up. That little sucker is gonna work.
@bobmatuzak2263 thanks, I'm glad you like it:)
Hello Lucian,thank you for interesting fly and video recipe!
@alvydass4004 thanks, much appreciated 😁
Very nice!! I need a pattern like this and was just now contemplating on what kind of pattern that I need for my situation. This video came out just in time. I’m tying it, thanks!!
@wvlongshooter3912 I'm glad you like it. Try it in black as well , will work great 😄
Looks very nice
Thanks, I'm glad that you like it :)
45+ years ago when I had much better eyesight, I used to use 22 and 24 hooks, 12 oz hook length and a 1 1/2 lb mainline with pinkies as the bait for river roach and dace.
So I realise just how tiny a 22 hook is and the skill needed to tie this tiny fly.
Here, in Central and East Europe, we love to fish for grayling. This fish can be extremely picky and these flies are perfect for such situations :). I completely understand. Forty-five years ago, it would have been much harder to do something like this. Back then, materials were scarce and not nearly as good as what we have today. It brings back memories of my grandfather's flies. I know how much work he put into them, and let's just say, he wasn't thrilled when a few boxes went missing every now and then. Cheers and thank you for your comment and sharing your experience with me :)
@@LucianVasies Grayling _(Thymallus thymallus)._ The lady of the Stream. They even smell like Thyme. hence their latin name.
they are simply stunning fish. Especially those males with the extra large dorsal fin.
And if you hold one and catch it in the light, it shimmers all colours and looks like it's been bathed in a light oil.
Dare I ask what you do with them? Eat or return? And if you eat them, what do they taste like?
I'm only asking as I used to catch trout for the table.
@@thezanzibarbarian5729 Hi :). I practice catch and release most of the time. However, when I fish far north (like in Lapland), I might keep one or two fish for a fresh meal. If I'm by a riverbank, I'll usually catch a fish or two and cook them on a fire right there.
On lakes, though, I prefer to catch a couple of perch. I find their flavor superior. Sometimes I might keep a trout or two, but I stick to smaller sizes, around 30cm. Anything bigger goes back in.
As for grayling, I don't target them for food. Their meat is delicate and lean, which can be bland when cooked outdoors.
Je me demande sur nos rivières Bretonnes, si cette imitation fonctionnerait.
Merci pour ce partage de vidéo 👍👏
Bonjour Michel, merci pour le commentaire, je suis contente que ce modèle vous plaise :) Cordialement!
I remember how i wished i had this fly when trout would only go for the teeny tiny green midge fly i got skunked !
next time you will have it for sure :). Try it in black as well, is working fabulous :)
I have tiny black mosquitos but the bugs I saw were green my guess they look like aphids with tiny white wings
