Fly Tying: Chubby Chernobyl Ant
The Chubby Chernobyl is one of those flies that only needs an introduction to those who haven’t fished it. Quite versatile, and effective it is a staple in the fly box of most people that I know. Below is a list of materials used to tie the fly in the video
Materials List:
Hook - Dai Riki #700 (size 6 4xl streamer hook, try Umpqua U-series in the same size)
Thread - Purple 140 Denier Danville Waxed
Tail - Pearl Crystal Flash
Dubbing - Purple Ice Dub
Body - 3mm Black Foam
Foam cutters - River Road Creations Chernobyl Style (tapered-end) Medium
Adhesive - Fly Tyers Zement
Legs - Blue Barred Crazy Legs Deep Purple/Blue
Wings - White Mcflylon
Special thanks to Jon Crossley for filming many of the clips in these videos and for all of the fishing adventures we’ve been on. And special thinks to Kirk Ward for all of the things he’s taught me and for his excellent rowing to help us land some nice fish like the one at the beginning of this video.

Fly Tying: Improved Latex Caddis
มุมมอง 4.6K6 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a variation on the "quick and easy caddis" I like to fish. It adds a few more steps but is still substantially simply to tie. The materials I used to tie this fly are as follows: Materials List: Hook: Hends BL 554 Size: 16 Bead: 2.5mm gold Lead: .015 lead wire Thread: Veevus 14/0 Black Ribbing: Danville Monofilament Body: Kiley's Nymph Skin Collar: Black Australian Opossum and Black CDC...
Fly Tying: BWO Biot Emerger
มุมมอง 4.3K6 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a basic emerger pattern that I like to use for all different mayflies. Changing the colors and sizes allows you match almost any mayfly hatch. I even like to tie these to imitate drakes. Materials used in this video: Hook: Dai-Riki #125 Size: 14 Thread: Danville flymaster plus 70 denier olive Tail: Blue Ribbon Flies Micro Z-lon (Mayfly Brown) Abdomen: Turkey Biot BWO Wing: Poly Yarn med...
Fly Tying: Mega Prince
มุมมอง 6K6 ปีที่แล้ว
The mega prince is another great winter pattern and it does exceptionally well in the early spring as well. I really like to fish it when water is high just after runoff, it has just enough flash to catch fish's attention in murky water, but also is extremely heavy and sink fast if needed. Materials I used in the video: Hook: Dia Riki#270 ( Size #8) Bead: Hareline Cyclops Brass Bead (Copper 5/3...
Fly Tying: Zebra Midge
มุมมอง 26K7 ปีที่แล้ว
The zebra midge is a very simple fly to tie, I often find that fly tyers overlook this fly as it isn't as "sexy" as other chironomid patterns, though it really can fish quite well. Materials I used to tie this fly: Hook: Emerger size 16 (scuds work just fine) Bead: 5/16" gold Thread: UTC Olive 70 Denier Wire: UTC Gold (Small)
Fly Tying: Hot wire Prince
มุมมอง 11K7 ปีที่แล้ว
I fell in love with the Hot Wire Prince a few years back on a fishing trip where my friends and I did an awful hike into a remote river. I was catching the lease amount of fish and I didn't have anything close to what my friends were fishing so I tied on a hot wire prince, it ended up saving the day and since then I've played around with the colors and had lots of success with it. Materials I u...
Fly Tying: Copper John
มุมมอง 94K7 ปีที่แล้ว
The copper John is an extremely versatile pattern. You can tie it in a myriad of colors simply by changing out the color of wire. My favorites are Copper, Amber, Purple, Chartreuse, Red, and Brown. Though there are many more colors that I'm sure work. Materials used in the video: Hook: size 14 2XL Nymph Hook Bead: 2.4mm Tungsten Gold (Yes I really like this fly heavy) Lead: .015 Lead wire Threa...
Fly Tying: Diamond Dub Scud
มุมมอง 174K7 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a fly I have been working on for a while now. I have had the pattern almost ironed out for over a year now, but I have been searching for a dubbing that really compliments the fly. I had been resorting to blending dubbings together but the flies were still missing something. I tied one with the diamond dub, and went out to test it. The fish loved it, so I tried it an various other color...
Fly Tying: X Caddis
มุมมอง 2.4K7 ปีที่แล้ว
The X Caddis was developed by Craig Mathews from West Yellowstone. It was developed for fishing such rivers as the Madison, the Yellowstone, and the Firehole. Turns out it works pretty much anywhere and matching the colors of the dubbing and the shuck to your local waters can turn this fantastic fly into a trout slayer. This particular color scheme has worked great for me but experiment and fin...
Fly tying: Parachute Adams Variation
มุมมอง 2.9K7 ปีที่แล้ว
The Parachute style of flies is a slight twist on the traditional mayfly dry fly. It works especially well due to the low profile on the water, giving a very real presentation to the fish. The Parachute Adams is an old pattern but it works very well as an attractor pattern, and on rivers with relatively low fishing pressure it can be used to imitate a variety of insects which can save your butt...
Fly Tying: Junkyard Dog
มุมมอง 5K7 ปีที่แล้ว
The junkyard dog is one of my favorite streamer patterns, it is really fun to tie and is very effective to fish. I have a medium-fast action 5 wt and it can throw this fly with no problems even with the added weight which makes it a versatile fly as well. If you'd like to see the original, here is a link to Mike's blog: anglerschoiceflies.blogspot.com/2013/04/acf-step-by-step-junk-yard-dog.html...
Simple yet Realistic Egg Sucking Leech
มุมมอง 4.8K7 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a small egg sucking leech has everything that fish like. A realistic looking egg, flash, and great movement in the water. I've had great success with this simple but effective pattern and just wanted to share it with everyone. I typically fish this below a heavy fly and let it swing around in the current behind it, but I've also caught fish with it solo below an indicator with weight to...
Fly Tying: Peacock & Partridge
มุมมอง 8K7 ปีที่แล้ว
The Peacock and Partridge is an extremely old pattern, yet the fish don't seem to like the classics, and this fly is no exception. It can be fished in all water columns but seems to do especially well in upper water columns during a hatch when fish are keyed in on emergers. I like to fish it about 18 inches below a dry fly in these circumstances. Swining it up from the bottom while nymph can al...

Fly Tying: Hare's Ear Nymph Variation
มุมมอง 60K7 ปีที่แล้ว
A classic pattern, the hare's ear nymph is known for fooling fish for generations. Usually one of the first flies learned by new tiers, don't think for a minute that the hare's ear can't perform as well as more sophisticated flies. It can be tied weighted or unweighted to mimic different stages of life, in this case I will be tying it weighted. Materials used: Hook: Standard Nymph Lead: .015 Le...

One of the best videos out there on thr Chubby. Picked up a few good tips on proportions. Thanks !
Never talented fly tier. I live near Goose Creek in Alaska. Thank you. Like you style.
Nice ty!! Tight lines🕷️🐜🐛!!!!
Nice ty!!! Tight lines🐛🐜🕷️!!!!!
Great tutorial.
Really nice, as always. Can you tell me which whipping tool you use? I like how sturdy your working portion is, the one I'm using not nearly as thick or sturdy, and I understand that that are applications for both thick and thinner. As always, thank you. Nick in Redfield Arkansas.
Did you put uv on the egg?😊
I believe he just wet it with water to show how it looks in the river.
Very nice!!
Happy Easter ✝️ Hope all is well with You. Hope to see You back on You Tube with new patterns . Brian 🌟🎣💫
That bead with the pink in it is sexy as hell. Big bow pre-spawners at the dream better beware.👍🏻
Nice fly!! Tight lines🪲🦟🐜!!!!!
Wow! Great looking scud! I'm gonna have to try this! Thanks for the video!
Just viewed a couple of your videos. Material list provided. Simple tutorial. More of a dry fly fisherman but I acknowledge up to 80% trout diet is subsurface. Looking to introduce scuds and nymphs as I like to fish late fall/winter in the Mid-Atlantic. Subscribed. Will look for more. Thanks.
Great video. Very clearly presented.
That’s really nice
Looks great ! Can’t wait to tie a few!
Well done!
Great fly😊
Thanks!
Thanks this is the version I was looking for.😅
Research the Nor-vise, Norm Norlander on TH-cam. I have had mine for about 30 years and absolutely love it!!! I learned on a traditional vise and tied that way for about 5 years then got introduced to the Nor-vise at a local Fly Shop and no need to go back. Nor-vise tie better flies faster!. Your Welcome
Man I dig you style! I used to only tie for bass, and am now learning how crucial it is to be precise with trout flies. I really like your pace I feel like I could tie along. I’ve never seen anyone start their thread base that way cuts down on waste for sure.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Absolutely love the fly. Nothing made me happier than when you started the fly though. I thought I was the only one who made the tag end of the thread as short as possible as to not waste.
Thanks! Glad to hear I'm not alone in how I start my flies!
Glad you back!
Glad to be back! After things slow down. At work this summer I plan on releasing some more videos.
Thanks for sharing this tie, love the profile of this bug. The legs are a bit of a challenge, but hopefully I’ll get it down after some practice! 🎣
Glad you liked it! Took me some practice too. Keep at it!
Great looking egg. Ever use eggstasy yarn?
Thanks! I have tried tying with it. Haven't fished it as much as I would like though. Hopefully I can try it more in the future.
Thank You Skyler ……. I’ve missed You Brother !!!! PRAYERS That LIFE is Blessed for You ……. Greetings from NW Michigan 🤗🙏🏻💫 ✨🎣💫
Thanks Brian! I'm hoping to release my next one by the end of the month. I hope life is treating you as well also. Tight lines!
best copper john i have seen ...i cant ever get those damn wire wraps perfect
Thanks!
He’s back! Made my day
Thanks! I hope to have more videos this summer
What size and brand hook are you using? Looks to be stainless
This was on a size 14 hook, and I believe it was a Dai Riki scud hook. I've used Umpqua U series hooks with good success as well.
I'm definitely trying this today! For some reason, I can't master the basic egg pattern, as my yarn gets all stringy and thin when I make my cut (even using the straw method). This might be easier for me. Plus, the glue seems to make it all more robust. Thanks!
I'd love to hear how it went!
@@skylerhardman1227 I've made a bunch of them, and they seem to hold together well in the water. Now, using one to snag a big fish still eludes me...
Hey Man, you uploaded! Stumbled across your videos, glad you're active again.
Haha thanks! I hope to have another video out by the end of the month.
Odd looking fly but I can see why it would work so well. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, glad you liked it. You'll have to try it out sometime. Very effective terrestrial pattern.
Excellent!! ThankYou
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Great Fly. WELCOME BACK !!!!!
Thanks Glen!
Great pattern! I like the tip of super glueing the foam down so that it doesn’t want to roll to either side of the hook.
Thanks Jon! Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Really liked the relaxed manner in which you presented the video nice work great fly …… I use it mainly as a hopper dropper in Australia. I may have to subscribe 🤔😎🎣🎣🎣🎣tight lines brother 🇦🇺
Thanks! And I'm glad you liked it. I often fish it the same way.
Great fly pattern, great tie!! Welcome back….
Thanks Larry! It's been too long. I'm hoping to post 1 video per month during my busy season at work, then I hope to upload more frequently.
@@skylerhardman1227 I’m going to tie a few of them tomorrow.
Awesome! Remind where your home waters are again?
@@skylerhardman1227 utah
Do you have to use super glue or can I use UV glue?
The UV resins that I have tried don't seem to adhere well to the hook and after a short time the egg falls apart. Super glue is the best thing I have found. That said, if you find UV resin that sticks well to the hook, use it!
You are certainly good at tying flies and making a video clip on how to do so. Very much appreciated.
Thank you for the kind words!
Nice instruction.
Thanks!
This fly has been dynamite in the driftless of Minnesota! Thank you so much for sharing this pattern!!
Thank you, I'm glad it's worked for you!
New fly tyer here. Doing well so far I think bit biots are giving me a real challenge... it's a struggle. Takes longer than the rest of the fly lol
It sure can take a lot of practice that's for sure. My fingers used to get sweaty when I would concentrate too hard making setting biots nearly impossible. Keep practicing, you'll get it!
I 'll tie this scud! I love y nos pattern
Thanks!
Super film 👍
Thanks!
What do you think about using a red brass bead for the yolk? Would it work ok?
Funny you should ask. I've toyed around with the concept a lot, and I like fishing them that way a lot. I have plans to make that video one day, I just need to play around with it more. I did find that reversing the bead worked better for tying.
@@skylerhardman1227 definitely keep us posted on a video. It would be a good way to get down a bit quicker on smaller pools where you need it in the zone faster.
5/16 bead in description. Is that a mistake? Did u mean 5/64? Love your tying vids :)
What size hook are you using?
Looks like I need to update my description, sorry about that. It's a size 14.
Can I ask what brand ?
yay for rocky mountain browns =) Eastern Idaho is a magnificent area! I'd live there in the west shadow of the Tetons if I could live anywhere besides under Mt Timpanogos Utah.
That's a fantastic area with a beautiful view. (And great fishing!)
Amazing
Thanks!
