Large Gurgler Fly - Top water bass or saltwater fly - McFly Angler Topwater Fly Tying Sessions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Gurglers are a great fly for top water fishing. They are similar to poppers in that they do spit water. But I find them easier to tie, and seem to give an even more incredible action than just simple poppers. They are probably my go to for top water fishing around where I live. And the bass love them. Tied in smaller sizes, they can be great for sunfish as well. And of course they make great saltwater flies for speckled trout and any other fish that hits top water.
As always I am listing the materials I used below with links to where you can purchase them.

Just got back from fly fishing in Colorado. Wanted to bring that back to Texas for some bass fishing with a fly rod. This would be the perfect fly for that. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the video. How was the fishing in Colorado?
@McFlyAngler It was excellent. That being said, I only landed one. Big difference in bass fishing and trout fishing (with a fly rod). We were sub-surface drifting with an indicator. The whole sight versus feel was difficult.
Tied up a bunch of gurglers similar to this in multiple colors used them for tarpon and snook they loved them . Best was white with pink spots . I really don’t think that they key in so much on the color but more by the action , the pop , pop and they hammer um . Thanks for sharing
Glad to share, and awesome to hear about the fish hitting them.
Can i just say i respect the hell out of the Noma fermentation book in the background!
Lol thanks! Haha! Great book!
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Good job with the fly it is nice you took the time to share it will get bit for sure.
Thank you
Nicely tied fly. Enjoyed the video.
👍
Thanks 👍
great video ,I put white on the bottom.
Good choice for the color. Glad you liked the video
Man that looks like a super effective fly. Especially for largemouth or bluegill…..prob whatever size its tied in. I’ll definitely be trying this pattern out. As always bud, very informative video. Keep em coming. I always look forward to ur videos.
Thank you John
@@McFlyAngler what size rod and tippet do u use when casting that fly
Fantastic tie.
Thank you
Very awsome
Thank you
Perfect bass fly for my area brother!
Awesome! Hope it works well for you
have enjoyed your channel. Good looking fly.
Thank you.
Keep one of the foam blocks( trimmed) and mark pattern and hook size on it with a marker for next time to use as a pattern to cut foam to make bodies. Excellent tutorial !
Thank you
Cool top water, thanks.
Hey thanks man, glad you like it
Thanks!!
You bet!
You make it look so easy my friend! Cool fly!
Hey thanks! Lol!
Thanks for sharing, and we all forgot too!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank for watching
Sounds like an Astro’s game in the background
I don’t remember the video, but I’m sure it’s not an astros game…
Very nice 👍 I like this a lot!
Thank you
Класс! Думаю змейголова будет рад встрече! Благодарю за шикарный вариант!👍🤝🇰🇿
😊😊😊 might try a mouse color 👍
Go for it!
I have been using a Cricut Maker (think of it as a printer with a knife blade) to cut my foam. You can easily cut to various sizes with amazing accuracy. Once you have your exact shape and size, you can cut hundreds of bodies in a few minutes. Give me a holler if you ever want to learn more about my process.
Cool! How expensive are those machines?
@@McFlyAngler $300-400 depending on sales and what additional accessories you buy. The nice thing is that you do not have to buy multiple cutters in different sizes. You can resize your shape for any size hook. So initial investment is a little high, but saves money in the long run if you tie with foam a lot.
Seems cool, just a little pricy for me…. Lol
@@McFlyAngler agreed that it seems expensive but when you pay $10-20 for one “cookie cutter” or $50 per set, it adds up fast too. With the machine you can cut any shapes or size you want. The machine can also be used to cut many crafty things like cool McFly Angler vinyl decals for cars! Lol
Sounds awesome! Still I don’t have that kinda money, maybe at one point. Gotta sell lots of flies to make that. Haha!
You might try a rotary cutter to get straighter cuts; I find it much easier then scissors. Fiskars brand comes to mind; Walmart carries them.
Good suggestion.
I use a razorblade for cutting my foam but it has to be sharp. I find I can cut through any thickness fairly straight.
Awesome videos! Very informative! Quick question, I'm not sure if you already have or not, but do you have a video showing the basic equipment you recommend for a beginner fly tier? Any help would be great!! Thanks!
Thank you! I’ve don’t a few videos here and there but not like an all in one. Of course a vise, I’d recommend getting a good brand, maybe eBay used to save a bit of money. Then a good pair of scissors, good bobbin holder, and depending on the flies you want to tie, that could be all that’s necessary. I have a patreon if your interested in signing up where I can give a bit more one on one help with your questions. Allows me to chat back and fourth with you and such. Bit easier to use than RUclips. Check it out.
Stumbled across your channel. Good stuff.
Big bass fisherman up in MN. I've been unhappy with the inexpensive fly tying equipment out there. Can you recommend a kit for those of us wanting to start this hobby? Much appreciated.
Hey thanks. So as for a kit, there is the issue. 90% of the stuff in the kits is junk. I recommend getting a vice off eBay, used, but from a major brand. I use renzetti and love it, but there are many great vice companies out there. As for the materials, pick 2-3 flies you want to start tying, and get the materials needed for those. Learn those flies, then you can move onto other fly patterns. You will find that some of the materials will work for the other patterns, the more you accumulate the less you have to buy with each pattern. If you need help finding the materials needed for a fly, buy your materials from Dooleys Fly Fishing, message the owner and he will be happy to go over all you would need for a specific pattern. Best of all, his materials are all top name brand and he has great prices as well. Use the code McFly at checkout and he will give ya a little discount also.
Another resource is a fly tying friend or a club who can help you navigate stores, materials, equipment, and fly tying techniques. This is a lifetime passion. I live in Mn, do you want to meet to get you started?
I'm going to try tying it with different color hackles anf some craft fur and ice dubbing I have. Headed to Corpus first part of may, it will be interesting to see how does. What kind of vise are you using? Thanks!
Good luck man! I hope you catch some big fish on these. I’m using this Vice here, I’ll send a link. amzn.to/2RCmcEZ
Looks like work to get it right, but it should be very effective and fun to fish.
Its not too hard to tie. I mean yeah its not the easiest fly, but not the hardest ive tied either.
Do I need to use a culinary book or do books on any topic work?
Culinary? Lol this isn’t a cooking channel.
@@McFlyAngler You are only showing an example with a book of food recipes how can we know whether it will generalize to other genres?
Just any heavy book bro.
Heading up to your old neck of the woods in 2 weeks, San Juan/Pagosa Springs/ Durango! Have you been back since you sold your house? Gurgler looks great for bass in the Pagosa lakes
I have not no, It is hard with a family to get away you know?
Dam, for some reason I don't get 15, that SUX
I don’t understand what ya mean….
@@McFlyAngler sorry about that Mac, I was watching your video and tying the fly and a friend TX me to see if I was watching the football game. I though I was texting him back, but I was tying you a reply. LOL I guess I was trying to do to many things at one time. I love your videos, please keep them coming.
Ok no worries, I was confused for a second. Haha! Thanks for clearing it up
WHAT....?????? No .....Hey Mc fly Subscribers ya slipping 😜😜
I don’t understand what you mean here...
@@McFlyAngler at the start of your vid you always start with a greeting but this one didn't start like that it must have been edited out that's all 😁👍👍
@@colincampbell5181 Oh ok, yeah sorry for not saying hi first. LOL.
Dude... 🤦♂️👊
I don’t understand emoji speech... lol. I’m kinda old. Please let me know what you were trying to say.
Just a fist bump and a ridiculous face emoji... crazy cool fly!
Ha! Cool man, thanks
