- Welcome (Bienvenidos) to Neil’s Spanish Fly Box, where we take a look at some of the flies used in Spain and elsewhere.
¿Hola, que tal? En principio, este es un video diseñado para pescadores que entienden inglés, pero por supuesto, ¡cualquiera puede verlos! Si eres un pescador de habla hispana y te gustaría comentar en español, te responderé en español. ¡No seas tímido!
Learn about some new (some, not so new) and interesting fly patterns, that can be found in every Spanish fly fisherman’s armoury, including some ‘must haves’! Real flies for real fly fishers.
I have fly fished in Spanish competitions for over a decade, on rivers and still water, learning a great deal about the Spanish way of fishing and the flies that
are used.

What a great fly!!! Spring has arrived!!!
Hello Bob, indeed it is a great fly! Delighted to hear that you have had the melt and spring has arrived!👏🏻
Is there a reason behind the colour of the tying thread? Personally I like 30D white because it doesn't "colour" the materials on top.
Compliments on your videos 👍
Hello Jeroen, thank for your generous comment.😊 It’s an interesting question that you pose - are you saying that you use white tying thread on all of your flies? I think that it depends upon the colour that you are looking for when the fly is finished. It is fair to say that the colour of thread used on the under body, can have an effect on the overall finished colour. Sometimes it produces a change that is undesirable and sometimes, it creates a pleasant surprise. For this particular fly, the UV NASA, using a black tying thread creates a purple hue to the blue of the film, which is the colour that I am looking for. We know that trout have a fondness for purple, so I have tried in this instance to create a NASA with the original prescriptive colours, but creating a blue-purple finish. Using a good quality UV resin/varnish helps maintain your desired effect. As an experiment, tie standard pearl tinsel on a white base and then on a black base - the finishes are invariably different, which of course, gives you a choice. As far as using 30D (18/0) on your flies, that’s fine, but using that dimension on larger flies could mean more tying time or, indeed, using a lot more thread! Fly tying is said to be an art, but art is founded upon experimentation. If you are content with your finished flies and they catch fish……….just keep up the good work!👌
Neil: very nice pattern. I do have a question regarding the UV film: if you’re going to coat the fly with UV resin, what’s the benefit of using a UV film?
Hello Steve great to hear from. ‘UV’ resin simply cures quickly under intense UV light, hence the name. UV film picks up UV rays that are refracted through the water from daylight and sunshine. Even deep or coloured water allows some UV rays to pass through. I’m no scientist, but that is as I understand it. 😬
@neilsspanishflybox thanks Neil. I'm not a scientist either! However, apparently my belief that the cured resin imparted some degree of UV refraction was mistaken.
@@stevepotischman5939 Hello again Steve. Loon make a resin called Fluorescing UV Clear Fly Finish, which has tiny particles incorporated into it that reflect UV light. So if you wanted a UV resin that does what you think that it does, it is an option! I suppose the fact that they actually make something like this, may endorse my views on ‘a chemical reaction’ as opposed to UV reflection? 🤔🤷♂️
General question- in your view what is the difference between multiple coats of thin UV resin rather than a single coat of a thicker product? Greater control over the fly’s profile or something else? Just curious as to your take. Thanks.
Hello there, good to hear from you. It is, of course, important to use a good quality, clear UV. Some poorer quality resins can change the colour of your fly. I prefer that my perdigones are not too thick, based upon the premise that there will be less resistance when it is falling through the water, thus getting down to the fish slightly quicker - irrespective of the weight added, this can be the difference when fishing a fast water swim. A thinner resin allows me to keep the profile slimmer, even with two coats of thin resin. Having used thicker resins in the past, I have also found that the thinner option lasts ‘years’! As a secondary reason, with two thin coats, you can be assured that you haven’t missed an area, which may otherwise lead to the varnish ‘lifting’. When you tie a lot of flies at one sitting, it’s easy to miss spots. The main reason is, as you suggest, it gives me a better control over the profile of the fly. Out of interest, I use Loon Clear Fly Finish - Thin, what do you use?🤔
@@neilsspanishflybox Loon thin UV, Solarez medium, Hareline Hard as Hull penetrant, and Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails are on my bench, employed depending upon the call of the fly pattern as it were. Like you I find I prefer thin coatings as I find them easier to smooth, manage and to avoid blobs drips and other incipient disasters.
@@chili1593 There’s nothing worse than an incipient disaster!🙈 I’m sure that for you, they are few and far between. Quite an array of resins and varnishes - don’t forget that, if you want a hard finish without too much shine, superglue is a good finisher and dries quickly. Before UV resins and varnishes were so readily available, I used superglue quite frequently, in place of standard varnish.👍
@@neilsspanishflybox funny you mentioned that, I picked some up the other day as I’ve been pondering that for awhile and will give it a try. I do have a bottle of Zap a Gap as well but have not opened that yet either. So many potions….as to incipient disasters I have one an evening but as I was discussing with my instructor yesterday during our chin wag, part of the craft is learning how to fix them without razoring the hook shank and starting over. Cheers and happy Easter.
@@chili1593 😂😂 Happy Easter to you too.👌
