- The brush minnow is quite easy once you have the brush. As you could see, just tie in a tail and then wrap the brush, add eyes, and your done. Can't beat that for simplicity. Best of all, it can be fished for a wide range of fish from saltwater species like tarpon or speckled trout, to freshwater species like bass, trout, or even pike (tied larger for pike).
It is much easier to make this fly with a brush, however you can tie it with a dubbing loop instead of a brush if you do not have a dubbing brush table. Without the table there are ways to make brushes still, some videos online show ways. However if you plan on making lots of flies with brushes, then check out the dubbing brush table I use. Its made by Oasis Benches and is the best I've ever used. The price isn't too bad either considering most brush tables are more expensive, and most are not made to its level of quality. To check out the brush table go to www.oasisbenches.com/dubbing-...
Usually I recommend extra select craft fur, but for this small fly, the regular craft fur works. However if you are going to tie this larger then look into the extra select stuff because it will give you that extra length.

Thanks for the video.
For a production run those brushes must allow you to be totally consistent thru the batch.
I've only watched videos of tarpon fishing. But it does seem that guy's use small flies. And dark colors too.
Yeah the brushes help with consistency for sure. And yeah dark colors, rather small, seems like what is working at least for Ryan. I haven’t fished for them so I don’t really know, just from what he says.
Such a nice little fly! Do you think this would be a good one for a beginner to try? I've been wanting to try my hand at it!
Yes a beginner could tie this absolutely. If you buy some brushes. Most beginners won’t have a table to make brushes. But if you do then give that a try as well.
when you make the craft brushes how Long do you cut the fibers? also when laying them out do. you alternate butts/tips or ?
I do not alternate butts tips because they will get spun up together. You can just place the butt ends in a little longer from the wire if you want it bushier. For length it depends on how big your tying the fly. For this one it was right around 2”. I’ve got a video of a similar fly coming out in 2-3 weeks or so, it will be called the squirrel tail brush minnow and it will show how to do the brush for that. You can hopefully see the more detail there on making the brush
Make your own
Yep that’s the point of the tutorial, making your own flies.
Brush materials are way over priced.
Make your own. It's really simple.
Exactly! Making your own is easy. Or like I said in the video if you want make a dubbing loop
Make your own brushes or make a dubbing loop.
