absolute game changer! Brilliant technique for Tricos- no need for 2 fly system. This works as a single fly that's visible and takes fish keyed on spinners
At 60, I'm just now starting to tie - can't find decent flies around here anymore. Seeing you with the glasses gives me hope that my eyes will still let me. I'm up to 2.50 strength and now my depth perception is starting to go south too. I'll end up as one of those guys with a tennis ball hanging from the garage ceiling at windshield height to let me know how far to pull in...lol Great videos.
Well, I like simple quick to tie flies, Soon the BWO # 16 and 18's will be showing up as the season really gets rolling, once it warms up some near zero temps this past week and over a foot of new snow. It's already pushed my trout fishing back a couple of weeks.
For this style of fly (comparadun) is the shuck color always the same as the wing color? What would you suggest for tying a version of this to imitate a hendrickson? Thanks, Brian
Brilliant as always. You never use head cement in the videos. Is that because you simply don't show it (it's always the same deal) or because you don't thin it's necessary?
You don’t need it if you catch a lot of fish. Think, when was the last time you caught a bunch of fish on a single fly, and the thread came unraveled at the head before the the rest of the body got torn to shreds?
Would love to see a 20 or 22 tied...the camera is close enough, we'll see it.....its not true that you can't see them on camera. The "ease" to tying this fly, is do a #16.
pretty much, sparkle dun has hair wing and a dub body antron tail/shuck , compara dun has hair wing, dub body and feather tail they are all very close. KG

Nice Compara Dun and simple tie, tight lines.
Thanks for the lesson Kelly, nicely done as always. Cheers

The dubbing is black?
Paul, on that one it is black (Trico) but you can use whatever color you like. thanks for watching, KG
Isn't that called a sparkle dun? I thought sparkle duns had the shuck and compara duns had the mayfly tailing.

Kelly Galloup i see. Thanks for clarifying.
