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
มุมมอง 6K11 ปีที่แล้ว
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. I am tying this pattern on an Allen Fly Fishing N202 hook. This particular hook is a down-eye, 3X-long, standard wire, slightly humped nymph /dry fly hook. It works great for caddis and terrestrial nymph ...
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...

The Autumn Caddis Emerger is one of the most versatile flies that I fish. I am using an AFF N304 hook (straight-eye, 2x-short, 3x-wide scud/emerger hook. Check them out at www.allenflyfishing.com.

RK's UV Chironomid

RK's UV Chironomid makes you think outside of the box when tying a midge pattern.

I am using an AFF N304 hook (straight-eye, 2x-short, 3x-wide scud/emerger hook. Check them out at www.allenflyfishing.com. The best thing about this fly is how it looks under water. The UV Clea...

Super Sally

The Super Sally is my favorite fly that I tie. Here in the Colorado we have a time period in the summer when the fish eat the crap out of yellow sally's. I am using an AFF T301 Terrestrial/ Hopper hook (straight eye, 2x-Long, 1x-Fine, slightly humped dry fly hook). Check out Allen Fly Fishing at www.allenflyfishing.com.

Slumpbuster
มุมมอง 18K11 ปีที่แล้ว
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 ...
Nice
I can supply you with fishing flies at
Cool
Nice Pattern. What size works best for baetis t. in Northeast? How do you fish it? Dropper? Indicator? Behind a dry?
Hey Ryan, very nice design and excellently tied. Well done!
Awesome beetle!
Awesome stuff. That rubber-leg-tie-intrick is super neat!
That IS going in my box!
Hi DAD!!!!!
Ryan, Excellent tying skills and narration, I will subscribe!
He is my dad!
very easy explanation....... thanks
Looking for Super Hair. The original straight hair not the crinkle style?
I like the use of Maribou and flashabou.
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...
Wow its a Yellow Hammer on LSD!!!
Oh yeah. I sub’d you.
Yes. It’s extremely well tied. Almost as good as Charlie’s. I bought his book. And his book is really something. Thanks for this wonderful fly.
I’m impressed by your straightforward delivery and clarity - it makes the art so much more accessible. Thanks. JC 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸
Great fly! Have you ever tied them for steelhead? Looks like a great leech pattern to swing for them.
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.
This is my go to fly. The action can't be matched. Can go down to 8. Need another critter with shorter hair to be zonkered to get to a size 10 think?
For shorter fibers for a size 10 you may want to try and find a mink pelt and cut zonker strips.
the fly is good but if u tye a dubbing loop close the loop at the shank of hook ur loop is open there, u can get the problem that ur hair is moving up to the open side of the loop bcause there is open space ....but like i said good fly proper tye
What size bead is that
are you using antron yarn?
Well done
nice tie!
Lovely tie. May I ask what type of lighting and camera setup you are using. Fantastic light, clarity and macro set up.
excellent tie! GOD BLESS ALL THOSE who served this united states.
Ron Williams Amen brother, Oorah.
im a beginer but i love to tie this fly going to try them here i sweden soon made som in olive Brown and red. are thy good for rainbow and sea trout?
Real nice fly!! I think Im gunna tie a few up for the metolius and see what happens. Along with your UV Ice Prince!
Nicely done video, thank you !
You are the first person that i have seen that ties left handed. Thank you, its surprisingly difficult to flip the patterns from right to left handed.(at least for me.)
Am also supplying fishing flies abroad
Good one!
Why white thread. It gets completely covered. Why not black all the way?
Super hair is transparent, using a lighter colored thread underneath makes it glow more
Solid tie with good technique!
I'm really liking the idea of that super hair body, how translucent is it? Would I be able to alter the color of the body with my choice of thread? Thinking this could replace turkey biots for me.
Excellent tie. I got a couple of good tips, including the way to wrap rubber legs easier than ever before. Thanks for sharing. All the best to you and have a great Thanksgiving. Sean
Nice tying and enjoyed the video.
Your technique for tying on rubber legs is genius, plus this one looks like it hunts especially when the fish need a lil coaxing.
why do you cut off the front hook? would it be okay if you didn't?
wondered about this as well. Maybe single hook stream regs or to keep from hooking it's self?
is the stinger hooks size you used a 1/0 ????
Nice beetle. Basically a gurgle pop without the tail. Should fish just as good too.
Nice fly!
Beautifully done.
You have taken John's Slumpbuster a step further with your collar tying technique. This will make for a more durable fly; an important characteristic to which few tiers give thought.
I can't wait to tie some of these up they are awesome looking
nice! gonna try it in still water thanks
Excellent job Ryan. Great video, very well done.
This is a brilliant pattern, and a very professionally presented video. Project Healing Waters, hooray! Nice work, folks.
