Really nice detached fly body. In the summer I go back to the tiers I like and watch their older video's taped before I found them. Keeps me in the tying zone to produce some patterns I have never thought of or seen in a book. Thanks for sharing. It was clear and concise. All the best, Sean
So you fished it on the river Aire near Gargrave. Lovely river - I fished the Aire and the becks which feed it up by Airton, Eshton and Flasby back in the 60s. Happy days. I fly fish in Western Alberta now. Nice tying - thank you. John. 🇬🇧🇨🇦
That’s a cracking idea of using the pheasant tail with the detached body. Haven’t seen that before so will definitely try that myself. Lovely overall pattern Mak and tied flawlessly as usual pal.
"Mak-Flies" is what Chinese people order in Macdonalds! (sorry couldnt resist the joke). Amazing pattern fly. Ive been fishing since 5 years old (now 45) and just discovering the world of fly fishing having spent a lifetime course fishing. Though I have fly fished for dace. Thanks for your inspiration.
gorgeous! when I started tying flies I thought patterns detached bodie with foam, plastic wings or thin foam were the best. But the casting is not so ... the plastic should be used by experienced anglers as much twist leader and Tipet. The foam can not handle the casting long and tends to tear .. but believe me .. the pattern shown in this video is sure to be tested by me! I loved it!
@@Makflies I could hear the water from the filter what do you keep I’m South American Cichlid my biggest fish is a black ghost knife fish measuring 15 inches🐟🎣 🐠🐠🙂
Hi mak awesome fly.never seen a extended body mayfly tied On a buzzer hook before.going to tie some up later using veniards mayfly wings.i noticed you left the fluff on the partridge is there a reason for this.you mentioned the length of foam could you tell me the width.cheers.
I am glad you like it. With the Fluff Fly looks more realistic especially in water. But you can make without it, works perfectly well. For the width I use 2 mm from the top end & bottom end slightly smaller, like tapered shape. Thanks
Hi Mak- a complex pattern but looks very realistic. I guess this would be considered an attractor pattern? Would you fish for specific hatch or use like an adams? Also I was wondering if you could substitute hackle tips for the wings instead of the plastic?
What a beautiful fly! I'm a complete noob to fly fishing, but after seeing this I wanna start tying my own! Thanks for your uploads sir.
You are most welcome my friend, I am glad you enjoy my tying, and why not, give it a go you will enjoy tying,, many thanks
Mak....I see this is an older video but that is really a great looking emerger mayfly. Glad I ran into this one I think it is just fantastic.

thank you Brian, I normally fish this in May when there is lots of Hatch, you can use any Wing, it's entirely up to you :))

Nice tutorial but please turn that water off in the background. It is very distracting.
I Know Brian, I can't turn it off now , but my other videos are fine
