Love watching you tie flies. Well explained plus the flies are always a cut above perfect. The three videos that I never hesitate watching are You, Kelly Galloup, Charlie Craven, oh wait four videos, and David McPhail
C’mon Cheech, please tie your beard into a fly and pretend you haven’t noticed. Then the camera guy can come on screen and trim it off. That would be hilarious! Oh, nice copper John.
Awesome tie, as usual… but I think you forgot to edit out the part where Cheech got up and had a convo with (presumably) the camera guy off-screen? Spence? That’s OK.. it’s like when I’m fishing with a guide and I ask him/her to show me… and they get a cast stuck in a tree… validation that we’re all human! :)
I’ve never understood why trout like the copper body. There is nothing in nature that even comes close to looking like that. Perhaps fish ignore that part and focus on the peacock herl and shape of the fly. Nice tying.
As the fly goes down through the depths of the water column, sunlight penetrates less and less, different light wave frequencies penetrate deeper into the water, you loose the reds, oranges, pinks, yellows first, followed by greens, blues and finally purples penetrate the deepest, this has a small effect on the perceived color of the Copper. Water color and particles suspended in the water will greatly affect what color the copper looks to be. To get an idea of what color the fish might see the copper to be, put the fly into water of the same shade and particle density and shine a UV light on the fly. You'll get a rough idea of what the fish see....sorta. But its a good start =) Incidentally this is also why fish will gladly take a blue or purple fly even though nothing in their environment looks like those colors.

Well tied!! Thanks for doing the Copper John!!!
Well done. Love to tie and fish that fly.
Gidday Cheech. Another great job. Thanks.
Great Job !
this was the first fly I ever tied. It looked as you'd expect hah
What would be the adjustments on the materials for a size 16? I.E. size the bead, wire, UNI soft-wire, and tinsel down 1 size?
Hey Cheech-awesome vid! Classic! What’s the tip that your using on the end of your solarez?
The loon small tip.

Prince nymph and copper john have never caught me a fish.
Dang that’s tough prince nymph my favorite for coastal cutthroats and works well on summer steelhead.
Not sure ive caught trout on them, but sea run steelhead.

The audio is a bit off but the fly looks great

I hope you used someone else's scissors when you cut that lead.
Dr slick synthetic scissors. Great for lead
What about a euro jig ?
Same thing just opt for tungsten on a size 16 or 14 hanak hook and use a little heavier wire for fast sink rate.
