I’ve caught fish on both of the flies that you tied personally. But the second one is one of my all time favorites, it is deadly on bluegills, shell crackers and trout! It is a fly that I will teach my grandchildren to tie so they will be able to use them. Thanks for posting the video, Ronnie!
It is great that you are teaching your grandchildren this craft. I done the same and it’s a craft that they could enjoy all their life. Many hours have been spent at my tying vise. With many different tying materials I have the combinations are limitless. Many tyers never tie jigs to fish with and I do think they are missing out. My hat is off to you for taking this craft to heart and for sharing not only this craft of tying but also teaching your grandchildren about the outdoors.
I’ve missed you and your videos!! Those bream flys are killer!! I’ll need to tie several of those for when the bream and shell cracker go on bed!! Thanks Ronnie for sharing!!
This craft can be so rewarding to us fisherman. Nothing like catching fish on jigs/flies you tye. Thanks for your commit, you and others like you are the reason I do these videos.
Thank you for posting this video! I've just recently started learning fly fishing and tying. The area I am in for now isn't much into fly fishing and most of the flies I'm seeing tied don't really resemble any of the insects here in the lakes and streams, and are more geared to trout streams. The second fly tied definitely resembles in ways several of the insects I see in and the water ways here. I'll be definitely be learning tying while making some of these, then come nicer weather will be putting them to use learning fly casting. I should probably tie up a good 20-30 to start....have a feeling I'll be catching quite a few trees and hearing the whip snap behind me to start with....but then again, may pick it up right away.
Yes be sure to have many tied. Also tie some in different color combinations. In the bream killer and tag fly. You will find at times a fly that doesn’t look like anything you have ever seen will be the best in your box! Have fun tying and fishing.
@@stumphunter100 sounds good and looks like I'll be getting a lot of practice and learning over the winter. Thanks and looking forward to nicer weather
The Bream Killer looks a bit like like Turk's Tarantula--which is my absolute #1 favorite bluegill fly of all-time! You're version looks like it will do the trick too!
Jim a dark olive to hunter green seems to work the best if you stay within or between those two tones. I did try a light tone of yellow that worked ok as well.
Mr. McKee, Howdy; I've been tying for maybe 10 or 11 years now, mostly Soft Hackle and wet flies. This is the same yet very different all at the same time. I' watched your Materials video and you as well as a few other folks that tye jigs all use the term Hackle on several different types of feathers. To me a Hackle is mainly used for the collar or for palmering through the body like in a Wooley Bugger. When you purchase the hackle that you clip the tip out of and then cut the 'V" s out of is that Saddle hackle? Sure looks like it although most times it shows up it's difficult to tell. Sorry about the length of this, chuckle. Have you ever used any materials from the Fly Tyers Dungeon?
You are correct in the use for hackle in flies being a collar or hackled through the body like a wooly bugger. In jig tying the term (hackle) is used differently than flies as hackle feathers (saddle or neck and salt water hackle) are used as a tail material. I do at times use some of my (fly) tying feathers to make a collar on a jig. You will find that most jig tyers never really get into the tying of flies with the right materials like a nice long saddle as the cost is more than many want to spend. So this being said while tying jigs the term hackle is the cheaper hackle feathers bought by the 1/4 oz most of the time. So the material video is showing materials mostly used for jig tying. I hope to soon do some fly tying videos as I really enjoy fly fishing. Thanks for the commit and question as I hope all of our viewers feel freely to ask any questions they may have. Yes Fly tyers Dungeon has some very nice material with very good prices.
@@stumphunter100 Thank you sir for the reply. Just trying to figure out the "language" of jig tying and hopefully being able to buy the correct materials. Looking forward to more on your channel.
