The first time i watched cj tie this I thought no way in **** I could tie that... Now back again watching both Brian and Chad for it I think I have developed my deer hair skills to where I could possibly make a fly look similar lol
Good job 👏 Brian. What a new age classic BIG streamer pattern. That color combo would be deadly on bass, pike, muskie and trophy trout. Still blows my mind that trout will crush something that long, but they are predators too and sometimes are the alpha predator in a water system.
Very cool pattern and I bet it sheds water really well too. Like how you set flashabou on the bobbin shank rather than the thread, going to have to try that. 👍
Nice tie! Reassuring to know even the pro's break a feather and snap thread. GSP or not, I've snapped them all, I have a heavy hand though. Thanks for keeping it real.
8 wt and sinking line and sink leader, get it down quickly. Fishing can be a lot of work, but big predator brown pulverize this fly. Tying this fly is just above my pay grade, and skill set, so i especially appreciate this video. Kudos!
That just reminded me to get some GSP, because it's soon to be BIGGER fish time in CO!
So glad you've demonstrated this pattern. Thanks, Brian!
Thanks!

Very cool!
Breaking the thread was the best! All have been there.
I totally should have switched to GSP......lazy....
Killer fly, we fished the little red with yellow/olive.
And what did we learn boy and girls when he broke his thread? He wasn't using GSP.
He was lazy and decided to not whip finish and change his thread to GSP..... *sigh*
You made that look a lot easier than it is. Well done!

Thanks! Love this fly.....we have fished it a lot over the last few years.

Exactly. Really well designed fly, minimalistic but with some size. I really dig it.

I knew better than to not switch to GSP..........
Great video! How do you determine the length of the rear feathers, and where to tie in on the shank
The tail is what will set the length for the entire fly. I have tied so many schlappen tail flies that I have a spot on my vise that I use.
My favorite pattern. Sometimes I miss fishing....
Awesome video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
been waiting to see this one!
Such a good fly!
Hey Brian where could I find a hair pusher/halfhitch tool like that?
Great looking fly but...what is the difference between using bucktail instead of deer-hair ( the belly)for the head?
Belly/Body Hair flairs easier and is less buoyant.
I need that attachment for the peak vise
Hey Brian! You made a video a while back that showed a stone vise pedestal - it was cool. Do you have a link to those guys? Keep up the great work!
www.thegranitefly.com/ LOVE mine! Tell them I sent you!
@@flyfishingtheozarks Thanks man - Hope to fish with you someday!
What line and rod do use throw this fly with?
I'm an 8wt sinktip guy.
@@flyfishingtheozarks 7 to small?
