Fly Tying the Tellico Nymph with Barry Ord Clarke
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2021
- Named after the famous East Tennessee River, the Tellico’s origins are as foggy as what it is designed to imitate! Some say a mayfly nymph where others are sure that its a caddis larva… But the colours are similar to that of the Golden stonefly nymph, of which the Tellico is well known for. No matter what it imitates, it has gained a reputation as a big fish fly!

Thanks for sharing this series.now that I’ve retired I have time to learn more about how to toy flies
One of my most favorite flys to fish on the "swing" during the dog days of summer..
I use copper wire in place of lead for the base......any old motor from a small appliance is a great source.....several will give you a selection of wire sizes.
I'll even substitute several strands of crystal flash to reinforce the peacock hurl.
Good stuff Barry.....good stuff! 🤠
Thanks Robert.
I’m a Tennessee boy that loves to fish the Smoky Mountains and the Tellico River when I get a chance. You sir are a joy to watch, and it was awesome to see one of the patterns that originated locally tied by a master from across the sea! Thank you sir!
I appreciate that! Thank you.
Nice pattern I have a friend who lives near the Tellico river I'll have to ty some of these and go visit him as always thanks for sharing
Excellent Ed.
A must-tie and try down-under in NZ. The season opens on 1st October so will give it a go. Thanks for sharing your skills with the world.
Have fun with it John, our season is just about to close!
Very cool barry.nicely done sir!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Mike.
A favorite of mine - only natural, since I live in South Carolina.
For no specific reason I’ve ever uncovered, yellow seems to have been the go-to color among Southern Appalachian fly tyers back in the day.
I’ve tied these with fluorescent yellow, and a more amber sort, too.
Today, yellow is synonymous with the region, being applied to many other patterns over the years - Yellow Wulffs, yellow Royal Coachmen, the Thunderhead, and of course the Tellico.
I would probably use mono as the peacock herl reinforcement, but the copper wire surely adds strength.
A great job of it Mr. Clarke, as usual.

Interesting Dave, I don't think I have ever heard of a region having a favourite colour of fly!
@@Thefeatherbender It may have started with a pattern called The Yaller Hammer*, or Yellow Hammer.
It was originally tied with a yellow feather from a now endangered and protected bird, native to the region.
But I am quite unsure that’s the root of it.
* you have to say “yaller” with a Southern accent LOL
@@dahutful Yeah, thats right, isn't that the pattern with an extremely weird palmered hackle? I'll have to look it up!
@@Thefeatherbender yes, traditionally it is Palmer with a wing feather that has one side stripped off. Then it is Palmer in loose wraps so it’s a thin spiky look.
Very nice. I have tied some before but I do like your tutorial. Thanks for the videos!
Glad you like them William.
A lovely fly, skilfully tied and a very relaxing watch.
Thank you, so pleased that you like it.
Very nice! Tank Barry👍
Glad you like it Anders.
Hi from Kansas City 🎣🤠. This fly is just fantastic. I'm traveling now but when I get home I'll definitely be tying this up for panfish. Thanks for your time to show us how to make it job well done!!.
Thanks Dave. Good luck with it.
Nice that you added wire over tail material.
Not thought of that always over thread body.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Michael. Thanks.
perfect nymph Barry
Thanks Guy!
Thanks for sharing, Mr Clarke. I will have to add the Tellico to my box. Beautiful as always.
Thanks Todd.
Great job Barry!!! Beatiful fly!! Congrats!!!
Thank you so much 😀 Adrian.
Very nice Barry! I may try this with a bead just to see how it compares. Appreciate our chat previously, cheers!!
Hi Joseph, sounds good let me know how you get on with it.
Vary nice fly sir 👌
Thanks Charlie.
Years ago when learning to tie flies , from a book by Jack Dennis , the tellico was one of my first successful bugs , as far as a quality fly is concerned . I fished with great success on a river close to home . It never failed . What was interesting most fly shops I went to for supplies had never heard of it . The ones that did said it was interesting that an eastern fly would be so successful out west , especially in Colorado . Funny how time and ideas change . Thanks for your great instruction.
Thanks Leonard, thats Interesting! Many patterns become somewhat forgotten, but every now and then they have a renascence.
Nice ! Never seen this pattern before , soon as material collection season is over I'm giving it a try . Thank you sir !
Best of luck with it Chris.
Thank you Barry. It’s great to see a classic southern Appalachian pattern being tied over seas!
Hi Matt, have you had my new book to review yet?
@@Thefeatherbender Barry- I have not yet. Amazon must be shipping from overseas because the ETA for it getting to me is not until the first week of October. (I did order two copies, one to review and keep for myself, and one to give away.) I’m looking forward to reading it!
@@SavageFlies Imagine seeing you here sir! That’ll be a sweet giveaway for someone!
@@flyrodhiker8326 Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to it! Of course it'll be a few weeks, but we'll get to it. :-)
@@SavageFlies Good, It will also be published in the US by Skyhorse next year, but until then its available online. Its actually available with free worldwide shipping from The Book Depository. If you would like to do something a little more special Matt with the book giveaway, let me know and I'll send you some of my flies to go with the book.
What a superb fly. Beautiful tying Barry. Well done
Thanks Double D.
Good work!!!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful!
Thank you.
I have recently discovered the Tillico River I have a copy of The feather bender, enjoy it by the way, and my biggest mystery is the hatches, which fly to use when.
Thanks Dale, you have to study the insects on your local waters, difficult for me to give advice on that !
Love this pattern, thanks Barry for tying this one
No problem Rocky, thanks.
A beautiful example of this pattern! I really enjoyed watching you tie it. It is one of my most effective patterns in the Appalachian Mountains along with the hare's ear nymph and a no name wet fly pattern I tie, to imitate the golden stonefly. When I was a kid, I tied it without reinforcing the peacock herl and the trout pulled it apart in no time. After putting up with that for a few seasons, I started twisting the tying thread with the peacock herl, and have done so ever since (50 years), but I like your idea of using wire much better. Ray Bergman mentions the Tellico River in his book, "Trout", a good book, even though it's discussions on tackle are dated. Thank you, for your videos. They are a pleasure to watch and great learning experience.
Great comment David! Growing up in north GA, I fished the Tellico River several times as a kid but didn’t realize this nymph existed until a few years ago when I really got back into tying. And fun fact- I’ve now used it all over the country. 😁
Thanks David, although you can use the tying thread as you say, some use mono, but I find it a little slippery, but you can wax it.
Nice!
Thanks Frank!
Great fly Barry. Just the other day I was thinking about this pattern as it worked very well in one of reservoirs here in Idaho. It’s been quite awhile since I tied it so greatly appreciate the tutorial. Never tried using wire to reinforce the peacock (always used thread), so will add that to my new ones. Thanks again.
Thanks Mark, good luck with it.
Великолепно 👍👍👍🤝🙋♂️
Thank you.
Hi Mak, a superb looking nymph. What fly does it represent and when to fish it? It looks like a sedge pattern am I right? Thanks again for another great video
Regards Jimf
Hi Jim, thanks. It was designed as a Golden stonefly nymph that the Tellico river is known for.
What made you elect to go with PT for the shell back in lieu of peacock herl? I like this version.
Thanks, its what the original was tied with...
Loved the video. I actually applied your twisted wire/peacock herl technique while tying an Anson Special bucktail. Is there any way to recover from a broken herl when twisting it up with the wire. I’ve done it a couple times now and it brings a tear to my eye to undo all of the body work.
Thanks Man. The only way is to prevent your herl from breaking in the first place!!!
I found an old fly patch the other day and it had a couple of them on there I had tied 15-20 years ago. I thought to myself I needed to tie some again because they always worked for me.
I will typically pull a dubbing loop the length of the peacock and twist the two together with my rotary hackle pliers. It makes it super strong and when you are doing multiple strands it makes it easier to wrap.
Excellent! Thanks Clint.
What should i call you?
Jedi!
