If you flamed the mono at the end of the tie, instead of cutting it flush to the one material... you would create a little bump that will help the material from unraveling after a strike... and that will get strikes.
Cool Pattern! I could see this working when the fish are nose down in the mud. I added just a tiny craft foam tail to the end of the mono which helps it stand up perfectly. Very Ned like!
@@aa-ron. that’s a very slippery slope. Does it end at no synthetics, feather n hair only? These days people are tying with prefab curly tails, I’d say this FLY is far more “traditional” than that.
I'm only 3 years into fly-fishing. The "purists" turned me off from learning, 20 years before I started. I'm starting to understand both sides a little more. I'll start thinking of these type flies as hybrids, taking fly materials and tying conventional bait caster patterns.
If you go to the fly shop to buy the materials for a fly...each step is a Material. The flyshop does not give you the hook, thread, and dumbell eyes and only charge you for the chenille. We get what you say, but when you write out a recipe the hook, thread, and dumbell eyes are the first 3 ingredients!! We get what you mean, but don't act like all the materials are not materials!! Just tie the fly!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

That's a great idea

using that stiff mono to ectend the body is a great idea,,,thanks...
wow, youve reinvented the wotsit, but made it way more complicated than it needs to be ;)
that's the name of the game!
So do you fish this during the Ned hatch or only when you’re out of mop flies and can’t find live bait?
Like brother, going to try tying this Ned .
let us know how you do with it!
@@tailwaterflyshop will do bro
Ned rigs have caught me many bass while shrapnel tossing
How do I fish this fly ? Long strips varied strips with longer pause?
I generally like little pops, but definitely change it up based on how the fish responds to it
I been tying fof 61yrs. 1 material
I'm not a fly fisherman , but I will tie some on a jig head. I already tie a ned with a magnum rabbit zonker .
hmm looks familiar...
This thing looks sweet! Do you sell them at the shop?
Not yet, but if you need some, I think we can whip some up
@@tailwaterflyshopwho can I contact to get some whipped up? I’d love some of these for smallmouth on my local river!
@@buzby80 Marco with MacFlies would definitely make that happen!
Why not just fish an ultralight Ned rig?
That's not fly fishing!
@@tailwaterflyshop and this “Ned rig” fly is?
@@aa-ron. I mean, we tied it on a vise with fly tying materials instead of pulling a plastic out of a bag and rigging it on a hook.
