Fly Tying a spent green drake Mayfly with Barry Ord Clarke

Another technique for a spent mayfly. Spent mayflies have their wings slightly raised in a more up right position to 45° as with this pattern, if you would like it to represent a spent spinner, just push the wings down, so they lie flat on the water as with the tail.

Hi Barry, this looks like a winner however, still in the Philippines and no Turkey so I will have to sub that bit. This will be my afternoon session. Thanks for your video. Reg

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Reg, good luck with it.

[@regkane-Pluvis]

HI Barry, it's St Paddy's day so I am allowed a stupid question, I have just heard Basil Shields talking about Daphnia Fishing. Is this Buzzers? or can toy help this pain in the Butt with a new challenge? Have a good one. Reg

Merci Guy.

[@duderoony]

That’s a sweet looking morsel Barry. I can’t see any fish ignoring it! Thank you for another one dude.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Dude!

[@jasoncox4234]

That is simply marvelous, but then again if it is not, no self respecting trout would nail it. Looks like small mouth fly as well.
Thank you for helping all fly anglers and tiers to become better. Still would love to know what vise you use. Mine does not turn like yours, and that would be a GREAT feature to have on my vise.
Again thank you very much for your time and talents.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Jason, the vice I am using here is a Swiss Master you can see its full potential here: ruclips.net/video/x9WskBbooaU/видео.html

[@jasoncox4234]

@@Thefeatherbender THANK YOU. Will check it out.

[@boblaverty758]

You can get the same results with a Stonfo elite vice at 1/3 of the price. I bought mine from Poland and it is a brilliant bit of kit.

[@markhocking2362]

Greetings from California! Thanks for another great pattern! I am new to fly tying and have never fly fished. Can you recommend an entry level set up for around $200 USD? Thanx Barry!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Mark, good to hear from you. There are many sets around but I do recommend that you put one together yourself or get a shop with a good fly tying dept to do it for you. I have put this together: thefeatherbender.com/2013/12/18/fly-tying-kit-for-start-tying-flies/

[@markhocking2362]

Thanx Barry! I really appreciate the reply! Great info as always!

Badger hackel, where on the body of a badger do You find these feathers? Is it an EasterBadger? ☺️

Hi Carsten, they can be found just behind the gills!
