@@Thefeatherbender Yea same, and works great with a fat black and yellow tail section too, especially where the carpenter bee's hang out on woody shorelines.
How spooky Barry. Just come back from Meon Springs Trout Fishery today where I wish I had some Montanas. Turned to RUclips for tying advice and find this newly posted. The strange thing is that while down there, I visited Robjents in Stockbridge where I got chatting to one of the staff about tying and guess who's name came up first as the go to for instructional videos? Yup, BOC. You're famous my man! Keep them coming!!
Also a great warm water fly. You can vary the colors as well to suit. I may tie a few tonight, just for the fun of it. Thank you Barry David South Carolina
Hi Dave, yeah fish will take it everywhere! Black is my favourite but try it also in olive and yellow this combo has taken a whole load of still water fish for me.
I really appreciate your clear step by step presentation and I look forward to tying the Montana Nymphs. Since watching this video on the Montana Nymph I am now tying Ted’s Stoneflies, starting with the round wire weight as you demonstrated in this video. Thanks
Hi Barry, I know I shouldn’t tell my granny how to suck eggs, but to expose the core of chenille I dip the end in some acetone and the flue is easily taken off with my finger nail, this is especially useful on micro chenille, thanks for another great video regards Jimf
I noticed a slight {click} when you were dropping your whip, I had this on an older whipfinisher, check it for a groove from wear, may need to re-polish it on the inside a bit, or it will start fraying your finer threads.
@@Thefeatherbender It has happened to me before, but it takes a "lot of use", less with the more modern tougher threads but still a lot, was as much for the new tiers as you, I think you have as much or more under your belt than I do, LOL.
Loved the doubling of the chenille to make the thorax cover. Always new tricks to learn no matter how long one has been tying.
Thanks Len! good to know...
A great pattern {works good in just black and white too}, nice to see you still helping the tribe.
Thanks Brian, one of my go to patterns when I started fly fishing was a green Montana with a yellow thorax.

What a coincidence! Get some tied up for the next time you are there. Its one of the prices, one has to pay...LoL.
Excellent pattern. Awesome new technique for my toolbox with the chenille. Mega Thx.
Glad it was helpful!

Wow I didn’t think of that. I’ll give a try on our local smallmouths and crappie
@@ZGADOW don’t be afraid to tie them big… 6 and 4, even

I love this fly for rainbow trout ... nice tie 👌😉
Me too! Thanks Simon.

Glad it was helpful Frank! You can find my video of tying Ted's stone, ruclips.net/video/3WSXa4L4qnM/видео.html
A classic fly that works great, Thanks for sharing
Thank you Ed.
Great job Barry!!! Congrats!!!
Thank you so much Adrian.

Thanks Jim, I'll give that a go!
Excellent lesson as always thank you sir
So nice of you Jimmy, Thanks.
Thanks, Barry. This is a pattern I have never seen in NZ but will make a few up and try them this week on spawning trout down-under.
Its a great pattern John, but works best in lakes and still waters. Try it also in Olive and yellow!
Very nice! I rarely use chenille but it makes for some really nice flies, well done!
Thank you very much Newfie!
Beautifully done, thank you
Thank you too Rocky.
Nice. I must tie a couple to try on the Clyde.
Yes you do, but it works best in still waters.
Memories of Frensham old buddy!
Oh yeah. I seam to remember, sitting in a hotel room somewhere and tying Montanas, can you remember where that was?
Wales? Ireland?

Hi Brian thanks. I will check that, some of them are getting old!

Nicely tied would this nymph also work in a river?
Hi Herwig, thanks. Yes it will but its best known for still waters.
Is there a need for another nymph pattern fishing-wise? 👍
Probably not Anders...

Thank you.
Thanks again
Always welcome David.
