Yes, but chocolate brown. GSP is also useful as thread. You can pack the hair much tighter by compressing each new clump into the previous using your thumbs and index fingers after being spun onto the shank (better buoyancy). I usually use a #12 dry fly hook. Also, purchase a bag of fish feed and chum them in. You'll know exactly where to cast, lol.
#flies been catching alot of stockies lately as they started late February. But taking a huge step for myself in my adventures in fly fishing by visiting Penns creek tomorrow for the first time with a friend. A local shop owner goes out almost everyday for a few hours and is already saying that the hatches are on. So while i wont be fishing for stocked tomorrow im sure ill be dipping my lines into waters with them in it very soon.
You could, get some dyed deer hair or add a hot spot to the top or under side. Id do this with some UV resin or a patch of different colored deer hair.
Glad you like the videos! For me fly fishing and tying is how I relax glad that comes through on the videos. You don’t need to be great, as long as you are having a good time that’s what matters.
Pellet / Dog Food flies are easy with foam - I'd rather save the hair for other flies. Also, this fly looks like it would land softly. Whereas, planters / stockers typically react to the splash of the food. I've had some good luck actually landing the foam pellet flies hard on the surface of the water.
This is a good one to practice with it’s not too bad. I’m no expert when it comes to spinning deer hair, but some things that can help is using the correct hair, amount you put on at one time, and how tight you packed them together. You can do this with a pen pushing it back on one end while pushing the opposite way with your fingers. Helps pack all the fibers a little bit closer giving it that thicker look.
Be sure to use this fly when you’ve lost all dignity and self respect. 😂 when desperation really takes hold, be sure to throw a handful of pellets on the water before you cast! That really gets those planters riled up!!
biggest rainbow I've ever caught was on a fly I tied to look like the pellets they're fed at the hatchery😂
I’ve been making pellet flies from foam for years, started out using coffee beans glued to hook shank.
Thank you for the video!! Sometimes the stocked ones are the most picky! Tight lines! 😎🎣
these work really well for carp in the summer when the sun is out shining!

chumming is illegal in most us states for trout lol
Picked up 2 tips watching you tie this .... thanks
Aztec flies!
Looks kinda like a Scud Bug minus legs.
I've tied something very similar for Blue Gill.
Great pattern
What hook (type and size) are you using
So is the Maple Syrup coming up or have you already covered that one?

A fellow pa angler 😂
Thanks
Does it absolutely have to be mule body hair or can I make this with elk body hair?
Oh yeah that will work fine. I like spinnin mule hair the most but that’s a good swap
I've been tying these for years. Rigged with a black bugger they seem to be about equally effective.
Agreed complex flies are usually not the answer but they are fun to tie
Pellet #flies are something that I would try for stocked trout.
#Flies For a simple flies it makes a lot of sense. also have to say it's a good practice fly to build fundamental off of.
I would like to use it for bass
Awesome, idea
Pellets probably for spilling trout but also freshwater snail for others.
Dog #flies
Can it be made in different colors? Seen caterpillars in my area that is the same fuzziness.

#flies I'm new to fly fishing. I find videos like this relaxing in a way. So far, I am not great but, I'm having a blast catching trout.

#flies I’m making little brown foam cylinders to look like pellets 😂
This has to be one of my favourite #flies
#flies best wishes big fishes😊
It was funny because the stocks for the trout are happening here where I fish very soon and I needed a fly like this.#flies
Is this more like chicken and rice or a grain free lamb offering? I'm for sure putting some of these in my box.
Definitely won’t regret that when the stocking truck rolls around!
I never caught shit on one of these....until I fished it for stoc kies, lol
#flies that honestly so interesting I’m gonna have to try this one!
#flies. Thanks for the tips.
Maybe simple, but not easy to tie. Spinning deer hair took me years to learn and it still troubles me occasionally.
#flies never thought of this but I will definitely try it out.
#flies love these videos
#flies Now that is a fly I can use. We only get stocked ones where I live.
You oughta see my “piece of bread fly”
What do you make it with? Not bread right 😂
#flies
Wow, thats cool!
#Flies I know just where I could use this.
#flys 🤟
Your videos make it look easy😂
Super

Do you... Do you want me to buy you some new razor blades? :)
I mean I need to at least haha 😂 that one I was using was not cutting it. No pun intended
#FLIES
I've tied 3 or 4 dozen flies with deer hair and each one is worse than the last....

🤣 that would definitely help, whatever it takes to get those stocked fish out is fine by me
Flies. This is like the chia pet of flies lol.
#flies
