Hi Mak - Nice fly! The local bass would be all over that one - as is fished as a leech or weighted fished on the bottom as a sculpin minnow or tadpole. Because I fish on or very close to the bottom I add bead-chain to a lot of my flies - like the way they ride with the hook-point up. On thing that I thought I would suggest is to remove any sharp edges from the hole in the bead-chain eyes with a fine file, 320 grit sandpaper or a small wet-stone; some of them have a burr that can abrade a fine tippet. Cheers! Hank
Thank you Hank,, I agree they do seem to have sharp edges , this is a great pattern like you said , works well in bottom, also great in Winter, Regards,,,,,,Mak
By putting the eyes/weight on top of the hook shank you are creating a jigging streamer. Placing the weight under the shank and close to the eye will create a swimming streamer.
Another amazing pattern, my friend. Question.....are you the Mac that had flies for sale on Ebay a couple years ago? Buzzers, if I'm not mistaken? Anyway, I always love watching you tie and listening to you as you do. Love to meet you in person someday, but I don't really see that happening. Have a great day. Peace.
Beautiful pattern Mak. The loop collar really brought it together, gave it volume without weight. Sometimes that tail length scares me, do you get a lot of short strikes? Of course you could always trim on the water if that is a problem, lol, I guess I answered my question! That was a cool hook / twister you have, who makes it? I use a small crotchet hook to twist then hackle pliers to wind. Thanks Mak! :oD
Thank you Joe,, I am glad you like it , As for the tail I agree what said, Large fish swallows these in full,, The twister is just a tool I found to twist Dubbing, because I couldn't find actual twister lol,,.. Regards ,,,Mak 😊 😊 😊
Hey Joe - Hows it going? I make many of my own tools and have a couple of easy-to-make (from stuff around the house) dubbing loop twisters. The one I am using now is made with a piece of coat-hanger and egg-sinker(s). I have another one that is made from coat-hanger, a couple of fender washers and a hollow-wall anchor (the kind used for hanging pictures and such). If you want I can send you a couple of pictures - let me know. Cheers! Hank
@@hankvana2149 Hi Hank it's going good. Sounds like a pretty heavy duty twister, some of those coat hangers are heavy wire. I like what Drew Chicone uses, a paper clip bent into crank, lol, he really gets going with it too! I have a legit twister that came with a vise I bought, just haven't used it yet. You have a lot of cool ideas Hank, thanks.
You sir are from a different planet!
Thank you Andrei 😊 😊

Brilliant fly I love this sort of pattern !! Definitely worth tying thanks for sharing.
Thank you Justin 😊 😊
Muy buena streamer y con poca dificultad de hacer gracias por mostrar el terminación de la cabeza Linares Chile
Thank you Emilio , I am glad you like it 😊 😊 😊
Nice adaptation of zonker.... I'm going to pierce strip at the hook and tie it in that manner... clouser style with fur riding up
Thank you Stream Urchin 😊 😊

Thanks for the info my friend will do that next time :))

Very nice streamer- you don’t have many in your video collection. What about other colors? Would this imitate a sculpin?
Thank you Brian,, I am glad you like it , I shall be tying more with lots of colours
