Tying A Paraloop Midge Emerger
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Paraloop hackles make for great emergers; the body and thorax are suspended just subsurface, with a big mass of hackle fibres dragging down a meniscus of water and imitating the jumbled mess of an emerging insect.
Just learned about paraloops. Great video, thanks.
Nice ty and it’s nice to see how it sits in the water!!! Tight lines🪲🦟🐞!!!!!!
A brilliant emerger, thanks Alex for the lesson.
I’ve been using paraloops more and more recently - I find they give a more natural emerger profile in the water with how low they sit. This pattern was doing the damage today on a small stillwater!
I love this fly, it's beautiful and very cool looking, for sure i've got to ty me up some of these. Thank You Sir for sharing and all you do.
This is how it should be done, excellent video and instruction, great skill...thank you Dr Alex
Beautiful pattern. Great to see it float. Thanks a lot!
A beauty of a fly Alex, thanks for the tutorial:)
Glad you like it!
What an Amazing fly thx for sharing. For sure I'm going to tie me some thx again. Happy tying!!!
Beautiful fly excellent demo thanks very much.
Awesome work. Beautiful fly
Very nice video. Will definitely add this pattern to my list.
Thanks for sharing, very neat.
Brilliant. Now I understand how a paraloop works! :-)
This looks even better on the Fulling Mill lightweight CZ nymph hook.
For those of us without a gallows you rotary towards yourself and use your teeth hahah
soaking the moose main helps emmensely.Also works for biota,feathers etc.
Absolutely - many materials are very dry and brittle out of the packet. Putting my medic hat on for a second, don’t lick them though - some of the dyes are quite toxic! Picric acid in particular is not to be messed with. A small glass of water, or even better one of those sponge stamp wetters, works well.
Excellent video Dr .
The moos main looks to give an incredible affect on the way it catches the light. Where did you buy yours from? I can not fine any in the UK.
Thank you Brian! I have been consistently impressed with Cookshill Fly Tying - Steve has quite a selection and the quality of the materials has been excellent.
@@DrAlexTies Thank you for that information but I've just managed to buy it from "The Anglers Lodge" in Durham. 😁👍 I have used theses before. Excellent service!!
beautiful pattern did you add any fly-float product?
Excellent - thank you. Enhanced by crystal clear video and audio.
Have you come across the book “Tying flies the paraloop way” by Ian Moutter? I bought a copy from Coch y Bondhu - a little gem IMHO.
How bout a tying material list?
Brilliant!
I haven’t been tying for very long, but I’ve watched 100’s of videos on different flies.......and have never seen a fly tied like that. Or the hangman’s tool (I’ve forgotten the name already) *gallows tool! Oops
Looks like I need to make a trip to the fly shop and pick up a couple hundred klinkhamer hooks!!!
Is there an alternative to the moose mane? Elk body hairs maybe? Or a synthetic option?
Peacock quill, peccary hair, fine dubbing... lots of alternatives! I haven’t tried elk, it’s a little more brittle so may need pre-soaking in water to wrap it
@@DrAlexTies ok, elk hair is manageable if I go slow, and looks reasonably similar in the end. Just tied a half dozen, and aside from the first 2 coming out like they were run over by a semi truck........I’m pretty proud of the rest! Thanks doc, for the pattern!!’
Excellent, glad it worked! I may try some very small ones with light elk to represent the rather pale, tiny, baetis we get
Super hair, Veevus body quill, wire, thread - our imagination creates all these marvelous variations, it’s fun to be creative and think outside the box!
