I have seen different colors used for this pattern; yours is really striking can't wait to try it. Enjoy the way you took your time in building this fly.
Yo he visto diferentes colores usados con este patron: el que demostraste es muy llamativo, no puedo esperar a probarlo. Disfruto de la forma en que tomaste tu tiempo para construir esta mosca.
thanks

Thank you sir for the awesome lesson

[@Makflies]

Thank you Friend, I am glad you like it 😊 😊

[@nl311]

Nice design idea with the hot orange body. I take your word that it works best in stillwater (reservoir) fishing. I'll try it but will use lead in the thorax part instead of copper wire as weight. Thanks.

[@Makflies]

Thank you friend, I am glad you like it, Lead is perfectly fine :)))

[@kurzhaarguy]

I do like this variant. I can't put my finger on it, precisely, but, the inversion of hue and chroma for the thorax, as well as the transition to the rusty brown head, just look like, "triggers." Nicely tied.

[@Makflies]

Thank you friend, I am glad you like it, :))

[@kurzhaarguy]

@@Makflies I'm color charting tying thread, dubbing, and wire to progress from warm to cool with the same effect. I can see some very nice contrasting effects in mid-range. . . light purple/lavender. I'm not a big fan of that hue spectrum for trout, but, I'm going to give it a try.

[@Makflies]

@@kurzhaarguy OK Friend, you should try it see what you think :))

[@tocayofishing6538]

Exelente

[@Makflies]

Thank you friend :)))

[@jimangela4589]

I like the choice of materials and the colors on an otherwise traditional tie. Couple of notes. You should have started further down the bend, you ended up crowding the eye. Wing case could have been wider and it would have been interesting to wrap the hackle up through the thorax. With a more substantial wing case it would have pushed the legs down around the thorax.

[@Makflies]

Thanks for the tips Jim :))

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice , Happy New year

[@Makflies]

Thank you Mike,, Happy New Year Pal 😊 😊

Круто супер.

[@Makflies]

Thank you friend :)

[@almoschetti5503]

Nice tie as usual and thanks for sharing. Never thought of the orange as an attractor and maybe as a October caddis as well what are your thoughts. Thanks for all your great videos and you and your family have a Happy New Year as well. Thanks again

[@Makflies]

Thank you Al , The orange PTN's has been around for a while, & you can fish with these all year round, thanks for watching , Happy New Year my friend 😊 😊 😊

[@hankvana2149]

Thanks Mak! The bright orange thorax makes a great hot-spot. I always tie in somber earth-tones to match the naturals, I really do need to get bolder and add some brighter colors - would you believe that I don't have ANY red, pink, blue or purple flies? Need to correct that, I will have to tie up a couple for the box! Sometimes you have to "shout" to get the fishes attention eh! Happy New Year Mak! Hank

[@Makflies]

Thank you Hank, I know what you mean, up till 2014 I was tying basic , but I think brighter colours are great to attract fish, Thank you for your comment , Happy New Year my friend 😊 😊 😊

[@hankvana2149]

@@Makflies Mak, Fly tying season is starting here in Canada (Christmas is passed and the lakes are frozen over) so I just ordered some tungsten beads, thread, fur, marabou and strung hackles in bright colors - I told my wife that it was all your fault LOL!! Didn't think you would mind :-) Have a great day! Hank

[@Makflies]

@@hankvana2149 LOL,,, I am guilty Hank, but I like these fault, you are so lucky to be in the country where fly fishing is best , one day I will go there :),
Regards,,, Mak 😊 😊

[@456fly]

Thank you.

[@Makflies]

[@robertperman8967]

What would be the advantage of orange over say brown or green. Would this work in western rivers? Thanks. Beautiful ty as always!!! Tight lines🐜🐞🦟!!!!!

[@Makflies]

Thank you Robert, it has advantages bright colour are a trigger point attract more fish

[@robertperman8967]

Thank you

[@alandavidson4725]

Great looking fly. Tried the lighter trick from one of your previous videos and ended up with my own new creation. I called it the pile of ash. All the best for 2019.

[@Makflies]

Lol,,, Thank you Alan I am glad you like it pal,, Happy New Year :)

[@edwardlindhorn538]

is the hook just a xl wet style? and the copper wire is plan it looks redish in the video...

[@Makflies]

It's Kamasan B200, The Wire is actually Copper, it might looks different in Video :))

[@jordanmac4388]

Copper wire diameter?
Thanks and great video 👍🏻🙂

[@Makflies]

Thank you Jordan, it's 0.1mm :))

[@raydowdy6630]
