Tying a Yellow Sally stonefly with Barry Ord Clarke

[@kurzhaarguy]

For you and your followers, Barry: I’m in Montana now fishing small rivers. There are about 30 species of Sallfly in the west. I ran into a prodigious hatch of one the call, Tiny Green Sally. I’m tying it in bright chartreuse size 18 1XL. If you fish the west in the spring, this is a very good pattern to have in your Arsenal.

Excellent! Thanks for the e mail I'll try and work something out.

[@ipod1978]

Beautiful pattern, fair amount of skill involved to get that fly looking as good as that

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Junior, only practice...

[@rockartgeorge]

Beautiful fly ! Many thanks for sharing.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks George, a pleasure.

[@GeorgeSemel]

That is a really neat trick with the UV for the wings. That fly would be very effective when the yellow sallies are around on my home waters.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks George, I hope it works for you.

love that fly!😍

Hi Barry, I've observed the method you use for tying the wing post on a number of your patterns, but which poly yarn responds best to the heat treatment? There are so many different makes on the market. thank you

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Peter, I have successfully used the Veniard and Lureflash poly yarns for this para-weld technique. But many others work also, just have to give it a go.

[@kurzhaarguy]

Time of year for this one again. I had to do a review.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks.

[@kurzhaarguy]

This is a very elegant pattern. Having floated this amongst Sallies, the shadow it casts is very realistic, as well.

[@paulallen7651]

Great pattern.
Aren’t I crazy to think that an old school turkey down wing or even a yellow humpy would suffice?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Paul. Yeah but where would we be if we only had a few patterns...

[@paulallen7651]

The feather bender You’re right. New fly patterns give us an excuse to tie more flies.
This one of yours is particularly nice.

[@Thefeatherbender]

@@paulallen7651 Thanks, aint that the truth!

[@matthewallred72]

So I see these guys post wings that look like the barbules are woven inside the stem...much the same look as a dream catcher....can you post a video of that method?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Mathew, do you mean like this? ruclips.net/video/8xu0tiyoWnI/видео.html

[@noelange1]

Love your videos and patterns, question, are you using the thin or thick uv to lock the fibers of each wing in place?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Jeff, thanks, quite honestly I don't think that matters so much but maybe the high viscosity one has a little less build up?

[@noelange1]
