Fly Tying w/ Ryan Keyes: RS2
An RS2 is a must have in any anglers fly box. This mayfly emerger pattern is one of the most versatile and effective flies to fish. I am going be tying the RS2 on an Allen Fly Fishing D103S hook between the sizes of 16 through 20. This particular dry fly hook has a straight eye, 1X--long shank and thin wire. This hook is new to the Allen Fly Fishing hook line up and will soon be one of my favorites, show check them out by visiting www.allenflyfishing.com
This fly can be tied in many different colors to match the hatch in your local area. Try using PMD, Brown/Olive, Black Superfine Dubbing. I generally will use the light dun microfibetts and bright white antron on all color variations. The most effective way to fish this pattern is to fish it in the surface film or slightly below it. At the end of the dead drift raise your rod tip slightly, the fly will move towards the surface imitating an emerging may fly.

Emergence Caddis Larva

The Emergence Caddis Larva is one of my favorite caddis larva patterns to tie and fish. It closely resembles John Barr's Uncased Caddis but with a few different materials and tying techniques.

Action Jackson
มุมมอง 55K11 ปีที่แล้ว
The Action Jackson is the most successful articulated streamer pattern that I have ever fished. I am using an AFF MP001 (up-turned eye, multipurpose, stinger hook) for the trailing hook and an AFF S404 (straight eye, 4X-long, round bend, streamer hook) for the front hook. Check them out at www.allenflyfishing.com. There are three things that make this pattern so effective. First, most fish do n...

Super Sally

Slumpbuster

What a classic. The Slumpbuster comes for the vise of John Barr. John's book, Barr's Flies" is one of the best fly tying books that I own. I continually reference his book to refresh my tying skills and get inspiration on creating new fly patterns. If you want to catch a TOAD, this fly is certainly one to try. This fly can be effective using a dead drift technique, as well as being stripped. I ...
Soft Hackle Glass Emerger

The Soft Hackle Glass Emerger is a quick/ easy tie and very effective mayfly emerger pattern. I generally fish this fly within the surface film or on the swing. The iridescent glass bead gives the illusion of an air bubble of an emerging fly and the fluoro fibre wing has an excellent UV light quality. I also tie this pattern with a light cahill thread to mimic a PMD or Light Cahill, as well as ...

    im not an articulated streamer fan...i am though a slumpbuster huge fan...i saw your video and new this pattern without a doubt was gonna be worth tying...by far myself and 2 die hard fishing buddies have just layed the smack down on soooooo many really big browns on this pattern its unbelievable...many times we got no action on a slumpbuster but as soon as we change flies to this one you immediately realize the fish want it..i realize the video is 6 years old now but im posting my thoughts regardless...we have done many hours of underwater video for different species of fish but mostly trout and my findings are also mentioned by other guys who fish streamers alot like kelly gallop..the so called "short strike' i hear alot couldnt be farther from the truth...especially with trout..many times i saw big trout come out from there holding lies and ambush points to violently just ram the streamer as it got too close to there position..im not sure but i think they do that to try and wound the prey but cant be certain..this it what the angler feels or even sees and not hooking the fish they think its a short strike but its not..when they commit to eating it theres no doubt what so ever that they engulf the prey head first! they do this every single time...they never attempt to eat bait fish by the tail...when they commit to eating it it is taken head first always and thats what results most times with a hooked fish especially on the smaller stinger hook that can move freely...a large long shanked hook by itself when a trout takes it head first can result in quite a few lost fish as the hook torques itself and can come free...the stinger hook simply cant do that and it results in many more fish brought to the net...hope at least a few guys read this and it makes sense to them but everyone will have there own opinion and i know i have mine...you did an excellent job on tying the pattern..not sure if its your design but it doesnt matter either way...they do take a little time to tie but this fly is an absolute must for any trout fisherman who fishes streamers...

  • @stevencroon
    @stevencroon 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This pattern works!. I add a little loon medium adhesive on the shank of the hook after tying in the hair strip. Pull the hair tight and tie it off on the front, turn the fly over and hit it with the uv and the strip is bonded to the hook. Super durable, maybe not needed but I like the touch. Springs coming almost time to swing a fly or two.
