Love that Herring fly, great video!! What size and type of hooks do you prefer? I started trying to tie striper flys a couple years ago but have only had luck with a crab pattern casting into shoreline grasses. Im new at it so I’d like to figure out what hooks and patterns might work. Thanks!
Man that's a great looking fly ... Are you fishing it in salt water or fresh ? Daytime or night ? You must be hitting some big fish .. Is there a difference in performance without the eye's ? I'm in NB which is just next door. I like the way you tie no big fuss with great results.
Hey thanks for the reply .. I've tied something similar without seeing this pattern before on a much smaller hook # 4 / 2 with less flare .. With a muddler head, but I'm definitely going to try something close to what you tie .. Where do you get your big hooks ? You fish it in salt & freshwater ?

nice tying, and terrific looking fly👏
Great Fly Can't wait to try it here In the Bay of Fundy, and the Northumberland Strait in New Brunswick
Great pattern can't wait to try, do you also have video using synthetic hair?

For this pattern, I use firehole predator hooks, ahrex predator, and partridge predator! All work well! Sizes 6/0 - 8/0

Fishing both, day and night, it’s been a great pattern. I’ve never fished it without eyes so I do not know! Appreciate the kind words!

Fantastic!
What brand, size, style is that hook? You’re right, this and a clauser and you are good to go
That is a firehole 802P 6/0!
Looks great!
