Started tying about 5 weeks ago, and this seems like an easy pattern for me to master. Just ordered the materials for this from you guys can't wait! Have a bunch of nice sized ponds/lakes near me (Long Island, NY) chock full of Small /Large Mouth Bass, Carp, Pickerel, Blue Gill & Crappies, what color combos do you think would work best?
Handy tail tip: Tie the short piece in first. Then fold the long piece over the top and back as the tail. Fewer tangles. With a marabou tail tie in extra and pinch off an extra piece underneath. Try it. It works and fewer tail tangles after a few fish. All the best.
You rocked the tying instruction on this one, thanks!

black, burnt orange and olive are good pond colors. learn how to tie a beadhead marabou mini leech too. it takes longer to say than to tie.
how is the tying and fishing going?
📞? 😂

Great suggestion!
When do you use the mega simi seal? Additionally, do you ever use it with a dubbing loop?
Mega is great for bigger/longer flies. It can be great in dubbing loops if you need a thicker profile.
@@FlyFishFood Thank you.
Have you ever thought of using the Simi Seal material to tie a Balanced Leech?
We do all the time. Very effective.
So it's damn near the trailor for the Cheech leech? It seems like a good one to dead drift for picky smallies!
Wait until you see the BBBB... video coming soon.
Clark Pierce Hell yeah! Looking forward to it
Excellent pattern, great instructions....... too much tool noise though, messes with so many great fly tying videos.......
Thanks for the comments... Unfortunately, tool noise is probably just going to be part of these videos.
You still went clockwise (;
Wrapped my thread clockwise. spun the dubbing on the thread counter-clockwise.
