Solid and love the accent brutha 😂👍🏽👏🙏🏼
Excellent pattern! Thank you! And thank you for your description as you tied. Very easy to follow. Many say “do this, do that, go like this, go like that” but you, you talk through it🙏🏽
So good 👌
Thank you.
That is a gorgeous looking fly
Thanks Robert
Well done, Robert. Thanks for sharing.
Nice tying merry Christmas and tight lines for 24
Brilliant will have tie some up
Lovely tying style sir
Simple and efficient
It’s my favourite fly and most effective
I can’t always get the same materials
So make do with pheasant tail
Fished down stream it catches me more fish than any other pattern
Cheers
Very nice !
Excellent. Goose shoulder feather. New material for me.
I was taught this pattern some 30 years ago. Back then we used marabou for the body and ribbed it with gold wire as we believed the marabou gave the fly more motion. For the wing case we used 4-5 strands of peacock herl and placed a few drops of epoxy on top for some protection. I’m still going to pick up some goose real soon.
Thanks for sharing how you fish this pattern not a lot of tyers share this info 👍
Hi, great looking fly
Thank you.
Great looking nymph. Are there any particular spider patterns you would fish in tandem with this nymph?
RESPECT🤩🤩🤩🤓 ^^
👍💪
Hi Robert, May I ask what is the olive coloured feather you are using and what is the hackle feather. Also, well you’re at it, could you tell me
what that skin layer is?!
Many thanks

It tells you at the end of the video.
@@thedalesangler what a crumpet I am! I usually have all the items you’re tying with, but on this occasion I couldn’t quite catch what you said(my bad) and after you’ve tied the fly I’m pretty much off to tie! School boy error. Regards David
why not counter ribbing the barbs you used for body? It would make it more durable.
To my mind counter ribbing the fly will make the weaker fly due to thread tension pulling the counter rib against the direction it was primarily wrapped, thus weakening the fly. Ribbing the wire in the same direction with an altered angle allows the trapping thread wraps to tension to tighten the rib.
@@thedalesangler i had similar concerns regarding weakening the fly. However, if you keep the tension on the wire all the time while you tie it off that shouldnt be a problem. But because i prefer to wrap wire and thread in same direction i simply wrap barbs in opposite way, that way i get my counter ribbing. Barbs being soft get easily trapped by thread. Altering angle may help, i havent tried but i see the logic. But in this video i didnt notice you did it... all of my suggestions aside, i love the pattern and your channel overall. (i do make videos myself)

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Everything is subjective, i don't think there are any hard and fast rules in flytying. But there are key foundations such as thread tension and proportion.
What is Herl you used?
Soft goose shoulder hurl
Soft goose shoulder herl
Sigh. Never heard of soft goose herl. Add something else to the list
