Tying an Extended Body Ephemera Danica
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Forgive the slightly croaky voice - I’m just getting over a (non-covid) sore throat.
This is a cracking pattern to represent E. danica and the other big mayflies. Tying these long-bodied flies on a long shank hook is one option, but this gives a very straight (and very heavy) fly that doesn’t look quite right in my eyes.
This technique for extended bodies is very similar to how I tied the damselfly in my previous upload, but using moose and elk to create a banded mayfly body with loads of floatation power.
Top it off with some Wally wings and a big bushy hackle, and this is an easy to tie but very effective mayfly.
Extended body, wally wing. Excellent.
The color combination, the technique, overall execution and camera quality make this channel absolutely fascinating to watch!!!
Being from the capital of May flys, your creation is spot on. Thanks for sharing.
Superb tying 👏

I'm about a year late to the party on this one but just found it tonight....what a great presentation. Really terrific technique and clear instruction...thank you!
Work of art
It's a elegant and delicate workmanship😊 l love it.
Beautiful work!! Tight lines🐛🐜🕷️!!!!!
Great fly and I think wings are perfect. Very good video indeed.
Perfect 👍 !!!! Tight lines🐜🪲🐞!!!!
Thank you!....Really great demo! Chris Sandford.
Beautiful fly and excellent demo thanks for sharing it.
Very good
Good job, you're a great master!!! 👍
great fly, I'll be tying up a good deal of them.thanks ,Only I do not use wet fly hooks on dry flies. I will use a Ahrex super dry fly hook size 12. It's a wide gap hook that's very strong.
That's a nice looking whip. Never seen one like that.
It’s the Petitjean one - by far my favourite that I’ve used so far, but much better for small flies than large as the reach is quite limited
Excellent. Thank you. A close cousin to Barry Ord Clark's version. Alas, that high quality elk is difficult to find in the UK. I love the look of Wally wings, but find they twist the leader somewhat; so I replace with Aero Wing or deer hair - not as pretty, but practical, and very floaty.
Well done!
Ser riktigt bra ut! Snyggt bundet. Måste pröva detta!
Very nice, thanks for sharing
Einfach Klasse. Werde ich versuchen nachzubilden. Danke , Peter aus Hainichen in Sachsen.
Awesome tie
Отличная работа! Рыба оценит.
Very nice one! Tanks👍
Come back and tie more Flies!
bravissimo
Excelent!!!
Great fly and excellent demo of the techniques. Does all bull elk come with that length of fibres. I'm UK based so interested in where you purchased your patch of hair.
Have you ever used the curved upholsterers needle for this? Hey if you ever want some good bull elk let me know I will send you some gratis. The hair you folks get there is not so good, not sure why.
Wally is a friend of mine. I always share videos using his wing. I don't think he knows how extensively his wings are used. Even in Malaysia.
Again you have a very good presentation! I hope your Channel grows accordingly!
Where do you even begin to find bull, deer or moose hair?
Looks good, might give it a try but definitely have to compromise on materials!
P.s. can’t get away with ‘wraps’ and ‘head cement’, are you in the US? That would explain the materials 😄
Very nice fly. The wing are spectacular! Who is the manufacturer of your whip tool? Thanks
Nice one, I wanna try but... Please, where do you buy that long elk hair for the tail? I can't get it anywhere. THX
super fly! like!
but for Bleak too big, for Chub too small ((
Veniard wax like Davie uses
Beautiful fly. Do you have a website for selling your flys? Tight lines🦗🐜🪰!!!!
'Bash one out in a couple of minutes'.........yes i do in the shower every morning......
