Fly tying/Montaje de moscas - Emergente Gutermann 900

Welcome (Bienvenidos) to Neil’s Spanish Fly Box, where we take a look at some of the flies used in Spain and elsewhere.
¿Hola, que tal? En principio, este es un video diseñado para pescadores que entienden inglés, pero por supuesto, ¡cualquiera puede verlos! Si eres un pescador de habla hispana y te gustaría comentar en español, te responderé en español. ¡No seas tímido!
Learn about some new (some, not so new) and interesting fly patterns, that can be found in every Spanish fly fisherman’s armoury, including some ‘must haves’! Real flies for real fly fishers.
I have fly fished in Spanish competitions for over a decade, on rivers and still water, learning a great deal about the Spanish way of fishing and the flies that
are used.

Nice fly, the color spot should catch their attention.thanks as always

Hello Alan. I am a little confused - if you are referring to the sighter at the front of the fly, it is unlikely that the trout would actually see it. The sighter is added so that you can see the fly. Fishing a small fly at distance can sometimes make it difficult to spot, the sighter assists the angler. If however, you are being facetious, I have risen and taken the fly!!😂

Great tie. I love how you cut the tips out of the CDC. Silk is one of those magic materials. I'll have to free up some of my North Country materials and try this one

Hello Michael, thank you for your kind comment. There are so many ways to tie in CDC wings, but this is a good way for an emerger.👍

Hi Neil very tasty fly, must try some of those Gutterman threads they seem very popular,cheers

[@neilsspanishflybox]

Hello John, great to hear from you and thank you for your generous comment. Indeed, Gutermann is a very popular brand in fly tying, although be careful when selecting and make sure that it is silk. Some tyers are using rayon, which is ok-ish, but it does not have the same properties. Try and avoid buying large spools to begin with - the silk comes in three strands and you generally only need one for tying, so they will last a long time. You are looking for olives and beiges to begin with, you can expand your collection over time. Top five probably: 249, 273, 300, 431 and 900. Another tip, be careful not to catch the silk when tying, on the hook point or anything else, they are fine fibres and break or separate easily. Good luck.😉

Hi Neil, really interesting video. Fly tying is probably one of my biggest weaknesses so I'll need to give this pattern a go now that I have most of my gear over from the UK. Any other dries you would recommend ?

[@neilsspanishflybox]

Hello Steven, good to hear from you and I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. We all have our weaknesses, which gives us the opportunity to improve. 😊 Dry flies - start off with some of the less difficult flies that will give you a chance of catching fish. A great all-rounder is the hare’s ear, tied in #18 & #16. You can also use this in a larger size for duo, if you beef up the cdc. I also like the humpy hare for duo, as it has good floatability. An olive is an essential, in the same size hooks. Keep them fairly slim and you can use a myriad of materials for the body, cdc wings of course. A red baron is another good fly, which can also be used for tandem. A little more complicated to tie, but a worthy addition to your selection is a royal wulff, tied small - I like this as a parachute version. Finally, a small black terrestrial, of which there are many different patterns available and they are not complicated to tie. You can always email me for more info. Any news on your June trip?🤔
