Predator Dubbing Baitfish - Sea trout fly

In this video, we are going to tie a baitfish fly for sea trout. The main material in this fly is predator dubbing which makes it super easy to tie and the material comes in many great colors that are very fluorescent. When I peel the dubbing in my hands I do that to get all the fibers to be in the same direction but also I pull it apart to make the fibers shorter. The material is quite strong but if you take it a little at a time you can peel it apart instead of cutting. I prefer that to get a nice taper on the fly and for the colors to blend nicely with each other. The closer to the head the shorter I peel the fibers. In the tail, it is almost the full length. The UV resin I add to the head before attaching the eyes is Gulff Thinman to make the fly more streamline in the water and when I do it before attaching the eyes, that process will be easier too.

Super Video. This fly is a catcher!! No seatrout can resist therefore it is a must to have this fly in your box. tight lines Robert

Hi Robert, I have just started watching your wonderful videos on sea trout fishing and fly-tying and am really enjoying them.I’m livin ing on the south west coast of Ireland and we have a very similar looking seascape as yours but we have no tradition of sea fly fishing for sea-trout on our waters. We have Sea-trout in our waters as they travel up our Feale River in the spring time in abundance in the spring /summer months to spawn. I love to fly-fish for Atlantic Salmon from March to September about eight miles up river in the fresh water but never thought of trying fishing the coastal salt waters for them. We do fish for Sea bass with good success from spring onwards but rarely using salt water flys. I loved your fly tying video recently and will try to tie a few of your bait fish flies of my own and try them out over here in Ireland. Kind regards, Donal Liston ,Ballybunion, Co Kerry, Ireland .

[@dirkvannieuwenhove]

Super simple but effective pattern! I can totally understand why you love it! 🎣🤙

[@FlyDressing]

Thanks!

[@lethuliv5500]

I need it! :)
A suggestion for Flydressing would be to create a "set" where you can buy all of the materials needed with just one item. And link it to the video.

[@matiasuus-makela1813]

Very nice fly. I think it would be really nice for big perch also.

[@petrirahikainen6715]

So easy but so effective. Super cool video. Looking forward for more sea trout flies 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FlyDressing]

Snyggt bundet Robban😁👍🏻

[@outdooroskar1257]

Nice video, It would be cool to have the fly as a model for when i tie them.. However I'd probably fish it just because it's a fly tied by the pattern maker himself. 😁

[@fnvhkbeanvwoaa8390]

[@FlyDressing]

Thank for watching and hope you give it a try for them!

[@uffeholmgren9261]

I’d sure like to test this fly on Öland 👍

[@dejongpol]

Nice fly .what's your idea from hooksize's for seatrout flies. You actually using a bigger size of hooks has that a reason?

[@naczelny2]

Hej, tack för bra video. Kan du göra en video om hur man använder Predator-dubbning? Jag har mycket problem med att göra den här flugan snygg.Tack så mycket

[@kotten7778]

Snyggt. Det mönstret får testas.

[@FlyDressing]

Kul! Prova!

[@analfabenet]

[@Outandaboutfortrout]

Robert have you listed the materials for this fly please

[@FlyDressing]

Sure. They are in the video description

[@davidwoodhouse9761]

Good looking fly Robert. What's the name of the dubbing you use? Thanks for the video and keep up the good work. All the best David 👍

[@FlyFishingbyRobert]

Thanks David. The name of the dubbing is Predator Dubbing. Check the video description for all the info.

[@davidwoodhouse9761]

Thanks Robert. Best wishes to you and tight lines for the new year 👍

[@erikgummesson8892]

Making it look easy! If I dont win one, where can i buy it?!

[@FlyFishingbyRobert]

Not sure 🤔

[@M.Shibli]

Hej Robert ved du hvor kan jeg købe sådan Baitfish jeg kan ikke binde fluer jeg bor i København..og tusind tak for dine fantastisk vedioer mvh M.S

[@ristosaari944]

I just need the dubbing and I can tie that.

[@FlyDressing]

Nice!

[@robertjerome1889]

Wish you'd exsplain materials and method.

[@domtiesflies743]

My opinion: I understand the techniques involved as a somewhat experienced tier but someone just starting out would be frustrated with the skipping forward and the lack of narration of the technique. I understand if the videos are intended for those who need less instruction but as I said, just my opinion. Take it or leave it. Nice pattern.

[@eilertmyrann2285]

Awesome fly!

[@FlyDressing]

Thanks!
