    Thanks Matt! Easy enough, I think what makes this fly work is the peacock, there's just something very alluring to the fish when peacock is tied in. Tight lines. 👍

    Thank you Matt! Super simple but looks so fishy! I’m definitely going to be tying this one up! I was just at a presentation by Nate Brumley on dry fly fishing. It was excellent! I purchased both his books.

    Good morning Matt. ☕️. I can’t recall ever hearing about Alder flies. Not sure if we have them up here. Going to have to check. Neat looking little fly. Going to the farm 🎣 this weekend at all? We have had a beautiful fall. It got into the 70’s the day before yesterday and in the 60’s yesterday. It’s great, everyday like that is one less day of winter. Take care Matt and have a great weekend.

    • @SavageFlies

      Now that's some nice weather for a Canadian October! I didn't make it out to the farm this past weekend (we went to an amusement park and I had some rabbit pens to build on Sunday). But... I am planning a trip out to western Maryland next weekend. A little bit of farm work, and a little bit of fishing. Not sure which will get the most hours of my time, but I now what I'd rather win out. Have a great week my friend!

      It's always good to be home! I've been swamped around here. We went to an amusement park on Saturday (King's Dominion) and I had to do some rabbit tending on Sunday. Plus... I got to tie J. Stockard's November Fly-of-the-Month. Look out for that one to come out on Friday. As for tomorrow's fly, I cheesed out on that one. I just finished a silly little craft fur streamer. Not as nice as your big Clousers, but it was still fun. Hope you're having a great week!

    I’m not sure I’ve seen one near the rough & tumble water I fished, but I bet it will be useful for the pond based group that I donate flies to. Thanks for the reminder & the pattern. It might be good to treat it with Watershed or other permanent floatant. In addition to actual alderflies, perhaps it might also be taken for a large midge by the fish.

    • @SavageFlies
      @SavageFlies  2 года назад

      Great comment Bob- which reminds me to try some permanent floatant someday. I've never used that but it could certainly make for an educational video. Thanks for the idea! Hope you're having a great week. (I'm just now getting around to responding to Friday's comments...)

  • @edwardmlotkiewicz2343
    @edwardmlotkiewicz2343 2 года назад

    Nice pattern. This fly was traditionally tied as a wet fly to more imitate the semi-aquatic natural. The wet fly pattern is in Mike Dawes "The Flytyer's Manual" and describes it as "Not everybody's favourite fly....". Thanks for showing this variant of the fly and let us know if it was a fish catcher.

    • @SavageFlies
      @SavageFlies  2 года назад +1

      That's interesting Ed. I suppose the Alder wet fly has been around for so long because it actually does imitate other aquatic bugs.

  • @joeduca8582
    @joeduca8582 2 года назад

    Nice 3 minute fly Matt ⏱ But you answered your own question 😉I remember reading about alderflies in Handbook of Hatches by Dave Hughes, but I don't remember the specifics and I think it was the wet version. I guess the adults sink pretty fast if they fall into the water, and they pupate on land, hence the wet fly. But you're right, that would make a good dry fly. In Paul Weamer's Pocketguide to NY Hatches he mentions 3 flies for the Fishfly and the Alderfly (they're both related, as is the Dobbsenfly) if you see them on streamside vegetation or on the water. Charlie's (Meck) Fish Fly Adult, Dette's Black Trude, and the Ed Bendel Wet Fly. All three flies are fairly big, black or dark grey. But you can't go wrong with peacock! Thanks Matt, have a good one!

Have a great week my friend!

    @colindan1483 2 года назад +1

    I think the main reason there tied wet is because there a terrestrial insect. There not a water breed insect. They are caddis like and have wings but don't think they float well. The alder fly is a great wet fly.

    • @SavageFlies
      @SavageFlies  2 года назад

      I think you're right Colin. I did read that they don't float very well when they do fall in the water.

    • @SavageFlies
      @SavageFlies  2 года назад

      Yep, I think you're right Dave. And I think it would be hard to see very far out, or in any riffled water. Probably not going to be a go-to fly for me, but I'll keep a few in my box as you never know!

    • @SavageFlies
      @SavageFlies  2 года назад +1

      Absolutely! I probably wouldn't tie a bug like this much bigger than a #10 though. Maybe an 8 if you think the big bass will come up for an insect like this. But I'd probably just stick with hair bugs or poppers if you're targeting bass on the surface.
