Nice looking fly Matt. Always like the ebb and flow of Marabou as it glides thru the water. No picture, typical Arkansas weather, will add comments in package.
Thanks Bob! So what do you think about this one not being weighted? I imagine that after a cast or two the marabou will be wet enough that it'll hold water and sink, but I don't think tied as-is it'll ever get very deep. But the recipe did not call for any weight so I didn't put any on it.
@@SavageFlies Since it seems to be designed as a panfish fly, I’m guessing it was intended to be fished somewhat near the surface. At least, that’s how I would fish it. If I wanted to fish it deep with added weight, I would change the body material & make it thinner like a marabou gray ghost.
Simple with minimal and inexpensive materials. All natural to boot! That's certainly a good tie for new tyers (and those of us that fall into the old codger category).
Really simple fly and will probably catch a bunch of fish with that Marabou tail. Thanks again for showing us another classic fly. Keep the videos coming.
Sweet. All different sizes and colors. Will work for everything. Solid workhorse. I see something that the Grandsons will be getting for Christmas from Papaw. Matt great video. Thank you. These are the ones that make tying fun. Have a great week buddy.
Thanks Matt for another great looking fly. Simple yet should be affective. Always entertaining to watch, thanks for sharing. Just a point of procedure, you said counter wrap the rib, but you didn’t.😂
This looks like a great all around fly that will catch fish. Thanks for showing us the steps and tips. I really appreciate what you for us. Always look forward to your tying videos.
Amazing how things evolve in different places. If you stop this video at 3 mins (before the wing) and sub in a blue wire rib and bead it’s almost identical to a still water lure “I made up” over here which is so deadly I need to retire it although I have plenty of friends wanting it. Also works really well with black marabou and orange floss rib as well. Thanks Matt.
Yes..I think it’s in my skill level!😂 I love simple flies, especially the effective ones, and this one seems to be one for sure. I’m tying super simple small black frog poppers, and using them at night (they catch during the day also) having great results lately, with lots of species. I’ll send you a message soon. Thank you Matt..Have a great one my friend! 👍👍🎣 (ps: our clubs yearly flyfishing expo Oktoberfisch is this weekend. I’ll be sending people your way.👍)
Charlie- excellent! I can send you a handful of stickers to give out if you think they'll get there in time. If I can get them out this evening you might get them by Friday...
@@SavageFlies Absolutely!! I was thinking of that, but thought it might be too late. I found 5 of your business cards in my clipboard and was going to put them near sign in sheet. Thanks Matt! 👍👍
a lot like the Ace of Spades style streamer. That one has half of the wing held down half way back on the body by the rib. It stops the wing from tangling.
Perfect timing Matt. I'm off to the Eastern Sierras in 10 days and will definitely be bringing a few of these. Finally, something to tie with my yellow marabu. Do you ever use blood quill marabu?
That's awesome Don! Good luck up there. As for blood quill marabou, I don't think I ever have. I'm not sure what the difference is between that and regular strung marabou though!
Cool fly Matt. I learned that marabou body wrap I believe from Larry Tullis's Nymphs Tying And Fishing book a long time ago. A good read and a good book for beginners, which I was when I bought it. Yeah, marabou is a great material and versatile too. BTW that Lord Baltimore video was fun for researching the pattern, Prof Mayer, Lord B., the Oriole bird's name, and the statehood of Baltimore. I don't know if you got it, I still don't see it and I commented twice. I hope this comment connects. Looks like the no carb diet is working, better tighten your belt 😉Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh thanks Joe, another book I don't have! And Amazon has a used copy for about 3 bucks so I must get it. Thanks for the note on the Lord Baltimore... as much as I loath tying winged wet flies (I'm no Don Bastion), I did have fun with that one. I think a key would just be better duck feathers. Mine seem to be all crap. And that's all of them. Hareline, Nature's Spirit, and I think I have a few others that also look all misshapen. Now about your comments... I don't know what's happening there. I sometimes scan through the comments during the day (while at work and I shouldn't be), but you're always one of the early commenters. And I noticed tonight about 8pm that I hadn't seen you. I was getting worried there! Glad all is okay. :-)
@@SavageFlies yes I watched it the next day. I don't know why it didn't take 😕 I think you tube is changing names of channels 🤔 They sent me an email about it. You get one? I knew you'd get that used book :0) good info on nymph fishing 🎣 👍 besides tying them. Tullis did the Wiggle Bug 🐛 🤣 for Rainys the foam people. Take care bud, I've been busy winterizing. Frost on the pumpkin 🎃 this morning 🌄 at 5am!
I see Kelly Galloup remove a bunch of the lower fibers from his marabou. Has anyone every used those left over marabou fibers in a dubbing loop? Seems like it would be a good way to use something that otherwise gets throw out
I use florescent chartreuse marabou, with the wing or maybe just a few strands of crystal flash, as my primary bass pattern when searching around docks and other structure.
I was bored one weekend and just tied a bunch of flies like this, not following any recipe. I thought they looked cool but they don't fish real well. They are a bit hard to cast and unweighted tend to hang out in the surface film.
Good morning Matt good morning everyone thanks for the start of another great day an easy one that's for me
Appreciate it Marty! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Nice looking fly Matt. Always like the ebb and flow of Marabou as it glides thru the water. No picture, typical Arkansas weather, will add comments in package.
Copy that Phil; I appreciate it my friend!
Congrats Ed🎉
And Goooooooood morning Matt☕️☕️,
Nice and easy love it, because mine will go straight to the trees 🤣🤣🤣 I love Marabou but it’s magical😉
Hahaha! Marabou AND peacock... the two most magical materials. :-)
@@SavageFlies absolutely 😉
Interesting tie. Look’s just like a cat’s whisker fly(UK) with a peacock herl head ! Looks like a fish catcher! JW3
Nice & easy. The peacock herl head looks really nifty. It provides a great contrast.
Thanks Bob! So what do you think about this one not being weighted? I imagine that after a cast or two the marabou will be wet enough that it'll hold water and sink, but I don't think tied as-is it'll ever get very deep. But the recipe did not call for any weight so I didn't put any on it.

Hahaha! I don't know how old you are Jim, but I've never thought of you as a codger. :-)
I liked how simple this pattern is and how it definitely looks like fish catcher - no matter the size!
Absolutely Tom! And thanks for the note my friend. :-)
Good morning Matt. ☕️. That’s definitely a quick and easy tie. I like it. Time for another ☕️. Take care Matt and have a great week. Congrats Ed.
Thanks John! And you too my friend. :-)
A woolly bugger with a wing or whatever.Terrific anyway, like so many very simple patterns e,g, F fly and Cormorant patterns.. -)
Oh yeah, the F-fly... that's one I haven't seen in a while! Maybe I should do one on here. :-)
@@SavageFlies Yes. That would be fun and easy. People who don't know it might be very inspired. Any body dressing will do as well. :-)
Great looking fly. Nicely tied Matt. Thanks.
Appreciate it Ken! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Wow, you could whip up a dozen of these on your lunch hour, and the color combinations are endless, Keep the good stuff coming Matt.
That's right Dave! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Just found your channel love the more obscure flies you tie. Wish I could see them in action underwater
Easy is what I like. Nice fly Matt.
Appreciate it! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Stew is one helluva nice guy.
Simple patterns are sometimes the best fish catchers. Thanks Matt for sharing.
You bet Layton! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
I've tied this on a size 6 with natural turkey marabou and it caught a ton of crappie!
I have a ton of natural turkey marabou in my stash thanks for the suggestion. Going to give this a try for my local waters!!
Cool to hear! I do see a lot of marabou tied on jig hooks too so I'll bet that would work even better for crappie. :-)
That is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing
Appreciate it Jeff! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
@@SavageFlies it's my pleasure
Awesome looking fly. Thanks Matt.
Appreciate it Chad! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
That is a sweet fly, marabou looks so good in the water!! I agree the wire adds to the body, strength and character!!
Appreciate it James! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Loved the fly. tying one up and putting it in my box
Be a good pattern to size up for Pike. Looks good Matt. Thanks.
Nice tie Matt! Trout catcher for sure, switch up to different colors, reminds me of a wolly bugger. Tight lines. 👍
Yes indeed Jim! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Matt, a fun little pattern. This ticked all the boxes. Quick, simple, and fun all at once. Thanks for sharing and tight lines.
Appreciate it Steve! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Really simple fly and will probably catch a bunch of fish with that Marabou tail. Thanks again for showing us another classic fly. Keep the videos coming.
Appreciate it Ed! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Love this one. I'll bet it looks great wet. Again, simple is better sometimes. Nice Job!
Absolutely Rollin! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
At time code 02:50 I was thinking "this could be a quick way to tie a maribou leech!"
Absolutely right Moshe! Brown, dark olive or black would make a nice leech. :-)
Nice looking fly Matt
Appreciate it Mark! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Congratulations Ed.
Looks like a good one Matt, definitely going to try this one out
Thanks for the video
Appreciate it Dave! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Thanks Matt. I love simple flies and they do catch fish. Have a great week.
Appreciate it Mark! And you too my friend. :-)
Sweet. All different sizes and colors. Will work for everything. Solid workhorse. I see something that the Grandsons will be getting for Christmas from Papaw. Matt great video. Thank you. These are the ones that make tying fun. Have a great week buddy.
Thanks Jeff! You're a lucky man getting to teach the grandsons to fish and tie. :-)
That is one simple fly for sure Gotta ty some
Appreciate it John! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Another great looking fly thanks for sharing, I think I will try one of these. Thanks again.
Appreciate it Paul! Have a great week my friend. :-)
Awesome looking fly. Mega Thx Matt
Appreciate it! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Thanks Matt for another great looking fly. Simple yet should be affective. Always entertaining to watch, thanks for sharing. Just a point of procedure, you said counter wrap the rib, but you didn’t.😂
This is gonna do great on bass! Thank you Sir Matt.
thanks matt see ya joe.
Very kool Matt! Simple is good & like you said: you know this one is gonna catch fish! Thanks for sharing it.
You bet Garrett! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Nice, simple and easy thanks for sharing Matt have a blessed day my friend.
Appreciate it! And as always, thanks for watching my friend. :-)
Love this pattern! Thanks for sharing.
You bet Charles! I appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Nice looking fly, I’m sure it would have a ton of movement with all of the marabou. Should be a fish catcher for sure.
Appreciate it Mike! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
This looks like a great all around fly that will catch fish. Thanks for showing us the steps and tips. I really appreciate what you for us. Always look forward to your tying videos.
Well thank you Marshall! I appreciate the kind words my friend. :-)

Those sound like some great combos Warren! I love any pattern with blue in it... they're so rare over here.

I'd heard of the Ace of Spades but didn't recall it was a streamer. I'm looking it up now and yeah, that's a very cool pattern!

Simple but good looking fly. Would look great with olive, black or orange marabou.
If adventuresome could tie a small hackle at head.
Or like a woolly bugger, add a couple strands of flash under the wing!
Easy pattern should be fun in several colors
Absolutely Jim! And thanks for watching my friend. :-)
I see Kelly Galloup remove a bunch of the lower fibers from his marabou. Has anyone every used those left over marabou fibers in a dubbing loop? Seems like it would be a good way to use something that otherwise gets throw out
I never have John but it's an interesting idea. I might just have to give it a try!
Nice fly ,everything is fine.....but ....stay little bit away from the hook eye...friendly advice....tight lines 😉😉
Similar to a cats whisker (UK stillwater trout pattern) which uses chenille for the body instead of a marabou rope.
I'd never seen a Cat's Whiskers but just looked it up. Another very simple and cool looking pattern!
Other than yellow what other colors will work for trout and or bass?
Should the body be weighted?
I use florescent chartreuse marabou, with the wing or maybe just a few strands of crystal flash, as my primary bass pattern when searching around docks and other structure.
👍💪
