From a 50 plus year fly-fisherman and tyer, I commend you on your videos. Patterns are neat and clean. Your KB Bonefish favorite is one of my go-to’s. I was tying something very similar for years, but your tutorial gave me a few new ideas. I have not done any ditch fishing in South Florida. The urban environment is a turnoff to some people. But, in my homewaters of PA, my friends and I catch alot of beautiful trout in urban fisheries- some monsters. Featuring these areas makes people more aware of the importance of restoring and preserving them. I am heading down there in a few weeks and will twist up a few of these, head to the closest ditch, and see what happens! Keep up the good work!!👍🏻

[@Eric.Estrada]

Thank you! Let me know how you do out here in the ditches!

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Man that's awesome. Great video!

[@maoamorteguir]

Excellent! Thanks

[@ranierrentas4818]

Like that fly pattern, I'm starting to tie my jogs and flies. I appreciate the info!!!

[@bigaljy]

Very cool, and thanks for 5e tying instruction.

[@davescheer5038]

I’m cruising thru your vids , and this one I enjoyed, now I watch a lot of fly tying vids but one thing I really liked it was the point and cool back ground music , going to be tying up a bunch in different colors , blk-red, blk - purple, and blk- blk , great vid , make more 👍🏼

[@btstrout2761]

Very nice, Eric! Thanks.

[@carlrowland7586]

Simple and good ,way to go

[@ChrisCatchesFish]

Awesome video! Need to start tying those.

[@Eric.Estrada]

Thanks, super simple but very effective fly for sure.

[@jasielm5258]

Good stuff as always

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice . I like to use Finn raccoon in my patterns also , it just swims so good . Thanks for sharing.

[@Eric.Estrada]

Thanks for watching!

[@FishiganMilligan]

Do you think pseudo hair would work too?

[@mikekuczynski1552]

@@FishiganMilligan absolutely

[@borderex9993]

I ordered a fly rod and started to watch fly fishing vids and I found you! coincidentally I live in miami and I know that fishing spot as well! hope i can catch a tarpon on fly one day!

[@borderex9993]

definitely subbed too bro. i know a spot that has massive tarpon but they don't bite!

[@TravisLutherArt]

Awesome man great video thanks for the shout out 🎨🤙🏼🎣

[@Eric.Estrada]

You need to come down and fish again once this all blows over.

[@TravisLutherArt]

Agreed man.. definitely makes me regret not doing it more often.

[@kengodoy7417]

Nice. I tie similar small fly using kiptail in various colors.

[@AdriftFishing]

Nice bro. Not the most scenic spot but man I wouldn’t complain. Sick edit

[@Eric.Estrada]

haha, it's scenic, in a different way. It grows on you, when you experience the fishery; so many tarpon.

[@AdriftFishing]

Yeah looked like an epic spot. Love you work man videos are always on point. Cinematic as! My channel is a bit of a different style but your do inspire me a bit ;) Followed you since the 5# chronicles lol.

[@ethandrahi2358]

Your my confort youtuber🙏

[@Eric.Estrada]

[@ryanmcarthur863]

[@Eric.Estrada]

[@maxwagenberg7345]

Dope video dude! 🤙

[@Eric.Estrada]

Thanks, man.

[@johngrimes7510]

Nice job

[@charleslevijr5627]

Another great video

[@tonyblacktopful]

How many apples did that guy eat that day lololol. Nice tie bro..it seems to me these simple Lil Flys work the best

[@Eric.Estrada]

😂 Simple Flies that Work!

[@JupiterGeorgeFishing]

Another nice clean edit man....

[@Eric.Estrada]

Thanks, man.

[@jaytux2403]

You ever tie this fly with a polar fiber tail? 🎣

[@Eric.Estrada]

I have, but it's not quite as effective on tarpon. I do a very similar pattern using polar fiber tail and beadchain eyes for bonefish.

[@jaytux2403]

Finally got all the materials today. Going to tie a minnow and a minnow gurgler with the stuff. Pesky poons 😅🎣👊

[@davidwallace4210]

Man I thought that thing was Larry king's head wig

[@borderex9993]

man, i went to that spot and it was loaded with tarpon but didn't land not one 😂

[@Eric.Estrada]

Hahaha, yeah. It ain't an easy spot to catch them.

[@nicg1697]

Yo where is this at?North Miami Beach or hialeah?

[@derrickirons2279]

What nippers were those?

[@AnimalBro]

[@Eric.Estrada]
