Tying the User Friendly Fly with Andrew Grillos
มุมมอง 8K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a great, versatile dry fly. It's got some parallels to my most popular fly, the Hippie Stomper, however the "User Friendly" is a bit more slender and lends itself to imitating mayflies as well as working well as a general attractor. Any size and color within reason works very well for me! NOTE: Use 2mm foam for sizes 10/12 and use 1mm foam for sizes 14-20. This fly is available from Umpq...

Tying The Hippie Stomper Fly with Andrew Grillos
มุมมอง 19K4 ปีที่แล้ว
I've finally uploaded a video of how to tie my most popular fly, the Hippie Stomper! I originally created this fly while guiding in Southern Chile in 2007 and it's been a fish catching machine ever since. This mostly synthetic, easy to see, and easy to fish dry fly has become a staple in fly shops across the US. My fly pattern is officially produced and distributed by Umpqua Feather Merchants a...
Lizard Fishing in Colorado's Gunnison Gorge with Andrew Grillos
มุมมอง 5514 ปีที่แล้ว
Back in 2011, I recorded and shared this video of how we'd catch and release lizards in Colorado's Gunnison Gorge, when things got slow on our guided fly fishing trips. On this trip I was rowing a gear boat and had the whole day to myself, to fish and mess around! Enjoy!

New drinking game. Take a shot of whisky every time you say the words 'I' and 'me'. Death by alcohol poisoning. 😅😅
Curious who makes the transparent foam for the wing? Love your videos!
Hi Andrew I’m unsure why you would cut the hackle underneath…have you tried fishing it with the hackle?If you left the hackle wouldn’t the fly have more floatability?
Hi Ryan, it’s an older technique that helps a fly ride right side up
An absolutely indispensable fly on the creeks and rivers of Michigan and the Driftless regions. Drop one of Yvon Chouinard's Pheasant Tail & Partridge wet flies off the end and you are going to be in business. Plus, the Hippie Stomper is a joy to tie, and once you've gotten proficient you'll be a much better fly tier.
thanks Ross, the Driftless sure is hippie stomper country and fun as hell to fish in
What sizes and colors do you like for the driftless? About to visit some family in the Iowa portion. Thanks!
That is a Dornan's Water Walker. Been around a long time.
no clue there, bud
LOL. You tie a nice fly and no doubt you have had great success with this pattern. The water walker has been a winner for many folks for many seasons. Just don't try to pass this off as new pattern, bud.@@andrewgrillosflyfishingfly1517
This is absolutely not a WW. Similar elements but an entirely different fly.
Hey Jerry. 🖕and tell Karen I said HI. Douche cannons everywhere
Hi Jer, Replying to mouth breathing cretin fly police cuts into my passion for aggressive inline rollerblading. Thank you for making the internet a safer place I bet the dancin Ricky is a little big for your local streams around boulder. Best of luck in your quest, be well

Charlie Craven tied this on his vlog.. gave you all the props. Love the fly so I thought I'd stop by and subscribe! (My favorite fly!)
glad you like it!
After trying a lot of flies for carp in the Denver area over the last 2 years, the only one I've hooked fish on is this fly. Unfortunately I lost the only one I picked up from the shop to one fish that almost spooled me and then broke me off. Been looking for this fly frantically ever since, and now I'm pretty excited to get some materials and tie some up. Thanks for the tutorial
Whip some more up and stick some carp
Thank you Andrew. Excellent instructions. Can't wait to tie and fish this.
What size and color fir green river in Utah
I did a study on E. Collared Lizards in Oklahoma. I needed to take the males temperature. I used a 15' cane pole. We called it noosin' and goosin'.
Dude, thats a hilarious phrase
Excellent ideas. Nice tying very well explained
Andrew, thank you for the excellent video. I note that you use 2mm for for the overbody for a size 12 hook. In the Aug-Sept, 2018 Fly Fisherman Charlie Craven suggests 1mm foam. I've tried it both ways. Naturally the 1mm foam gives a slimmer profile. How do you feel about this? Keep the tutorials coming. Les Harris
What hook size do you recommend? I’m heading to Patagonia at the end of January and want tie up some of these.
Amazing ‼ Wrong kind of grass though 👍👏🌲💨💯‼🤠 IMPO 😜😃

Damn, dude. Got all dressed up just for us?

I found an awesome salmonfly pattern on TH-cam and made a bunch of notes. Then I just saved the video and threw my notes away. Now the video is gone; got pulled off for some reason and I've been bummed, until I found this today. This style is exactly what I like; just super super BUGGY and a true low-rider. I suspect this will stomp when Chubby's get over-fished like they always do. What I'm trying to say in this rambling is: THANKYOU
Dave, Youv'e got it nailed, the buggy low- rider is a winner when fish are no longer inrterested in chubby's
Great pattern. Is it still possible to change out the stinger hook with the mono loop when needed?
Thaanak you Stephan.Y es, the hook cn be changed with some effort and finesse.
This is without a doubt a masterfully tied and beyond well thought out pattern. Thank you Andrew for taking the time to demonstrate how to tie this awesome mouse. All that I can say is WOW!
hi Wizard, glad you like it! It's one of my favorite creations 've ever come up with. I felt like most mice available in 2010 were kind of off because mice swim and push water in the surface film and do not delicately skiter and skate on the surface. Anoher popular mouse at that time fished well and cast like crap., as it was kind of like a wet sock riding on a frisbee
Hi buddy, sorry for my redundant reply, as I mentioned that in the video. kind of my standard response to questions about he bob gnarly mouse
Thanks tons for your reply Andrew. I just tied up a couple and I was super stoked that they cast exceptionally well. Bomber pattern!
Hey Wizard, good luck with the fly, don't lose it in a tree! (-:
This will be a perfect fly for largemouths in my local creeks.
It gets em. i've had success catching small largemouths in some warmwater ponds here in SW MT
This looks exactly like a Fat Albert foam fly with ice dubbing.
hey bud, if you knew much about both flies' lineage you'd probably understand that both originated around 15+ years ago in Chile, where Brent Taylor and I both guided. great minds think alike!
What foam do you use? I can’t find blue 1mm foam anywhere…
your local flyshop could order you some from wapsi
Hi there. I am pretty new to this game and appreciate your videos. Do you fish this all year long, or are there certain bugs you are trying to imitate with this fly? How do you decide what color to fish and when? Thx.
Hi Geo, The Hippie Stomper is a "general attractor," which means it incorporates some fishy components and doesn't specifically imitate anything. On that note, I fish my confidence colors which are purple, red, lime, or orange
Awesome stonefly pattern! I don't know how I missed this one from your channel, but can't wait to tie some up. Cheers
Great! enjoy, and happy tying
Thanks for sharing. Your patterns are always work and are interesting to tie. Keep it up.
Glad you like them! you are welcome
🙌🙌 You sir are a gentleman and a scholar
Thanks buddy, I'm happy to put my skills out there for everyone's benefit
The Pool Toy has been my favorite hopper pattern for years. The fish love it, and it's the best for suspending heavier droppers. Thanks for sharing the tying steps.
you are very welcome!
Sweet pattern thanks for sharing. Always learn something from these videos
Glad you can take some tips from my videos
Hey Andrew, whenever you’re feeling up for it would be awesome to see the Pool Toy! Love all your flies, keep up the good work!!
hey there! I'll make sure to add that to my to-do list. I never did a video for that one as it's kind of one of my older and less exciting flies.
@@andrewgrillosflyfishingfly1517 right on I appreciate it!! Not sure I’d agree it’s less exciting… any hopper pattern is a blast. It fishes great and have been wanting to learn how it’s done and try my hand at a few. Cheers!!
Love your flies. Hippy stomper was so much fun last summer. So happy to see you back at it!
Thanks so much! I'll work on more ASAP
Great to see a new video and look forward to many more!
More to come!
Beautiful!
Thank you so much! "beautiful" is not typically used to describe worms. 🙂
Love the video man! Can’t wait to see more
Thanks, Kyle, I intend on doing more, for sure!
Good to see you again!
Thanks man, I"m happy to have re-uploaded this video to where it belongs. -And I'll keep dropping more when I have time.
Hey brother, the hippie stomper provided one of the more memorable terrestrial dry fly dates of all time for me with some sizeable WY germs. Not sure what you’re going through but happy you’re sittin’ at the vice. Hit me up any time of you wanna go for a float.
Thanks buddy! I had a "massive" unexplainable stroke in November of 2020, thus the slow pace of uploads over the last year.
✊💪
Thanks!🤜🤛
Great fly and great tie… stoked to see you posting again! can you substitute other materials for the chenille? I love the material but it doesn’t have a lot of movement… and what other colors work for the pattern? Can’t wait for more vids!
hi CJ! you could try Medium or large round rubber instead of the chenille. (good luck finding large!) with regard to colors: I'd try any combo of pink, purple, red, or brown. I'll keep working on videos for the foreseeable future. I accidentally uploaded this to the wrong account back in may of 2021, and just put it where it belongs
I know that you don’t know me but I wanted to tell you that I’m glad you are back. Best of Luck!!!
hey lance, Thank you for watching! This one was uploaded to my personal account by mistake , but I finally put it where it belongs!
What do you think this imitates?
Hi mark, it's a "general attractor" which is a very common fly design style based on generally imitating something buggy that a fish may eat
I was rooting for the Lizard.
Sorry Mark, theyre wily little guys and this one bit the heck out out my finger
@@andrewg658 Did you kill it then??
absolutely not. I only practice catch and release
@@andrewgrillosflyfishingfly1517 The lizard is practicing "I bite, Human releases"😃😜🤠
They only have a couple defenses, bite or run
This fly is absolutely dangerous on finicky trout. Yes, trout can and do get finicky on salmonfly patterns.
hi Matt, glad it helps you get hose finicky ones!
Thank you for awesome video. This is just what I needed,,,, !! Looking forward to more videos!! Cheers from Sweden ;)
Thank you so much Kjartan, Happy Tying and good luck!When you have a moment,please email me a picture of the fly in action in Sweden. I love seeing the fish my flies catch in far-off places
@@andrewg658 I will ,, You can count on it ;)
YES! Thank you kjartan!
On the smaller versions (16-20) do you still do the two captures on the foam or just x wrap from the back all the way to the eye and then back track for the dubbing, hackle, wing, etc? I'm having trouble getting all this stuff onto the smaller hooks. Any other modifications?
Hi there DrRHThorndyke! You've got it figured out, remember that less is more when scaling the fly down. The only modification I like is to use a wing of hot pink and gray for a high viz option
Andrew I really enjoy your videos. What time of year can I expect to see this hatch ?
hi David, salmonflies are typically an early-summer bug. June-ish is my safest answer for you.
Killer pattern, one thing I’ve noticed is it doesn’t float as well as I would hope, a little dry shake works wonders tho
hi Issac, executing the mend and the drift work wonders as does a little floatant
Excellent Andrew! Lov fishing this fly! Tying some now in the royal colors👍Thx for sharing
Hope you enjoy it! i love the look of the royal body.
I like that fly a lot..see a few dozen in different colors in my fly box...thanks for showing the Hippie Stomper👍
You bet Stephen! The hippie stomper is my most well-known creation, i'm glad you like it.
Andrew - do you sz down the foam for flies 16-20?
hey buddy, I opt for .5 mm foam for the little ones because 1mm is a little bulky
That is a great realistic Salmonfly body!
Thanks mark, Glad you like it!
