Yeah I wish! He's an amazing fisherman and fly innovator!

It's a Watermaster, Kodiak... great boat! Let me know if you have other questions.

@TroutTornado awesome thanks for letting me know. Are you happy with it? I've got a float tube but it doesn't have oars so I'm looking at other options. Appreciate your input

I absolutely love it, it's been a game changer for me. Really opened up miles of water and helped with stealth!

Math was never my strong suit, better to go long anyway! :) I caught that mistake too and put a note in the video (@15:04) after I measured it and it was 1 3/4"! Enjoy tying it!

I understand your initial confusion with the tying process, but I'm glad you found the pattern and tying method to be awesome and simplistic in the end. I love the guys at OPST, it's cool that you noticed similarities to the Graboid Leech pattern, particularly in how the rear hook is attached. That's also why I reference Jerry French in the video, I think he was a disciple of OSPT as well. Your idea of using a 27 mm shank with a rear trailer hook sounds like a sweet modification that will work well! Tight lines to you as well, and I hope your adapted version of this pattern brings you success on the water.

Don't knock it, till you try it! Two flies are better than one!

Thank you. It's easy to get caught up in a rod for this and that! Really we only need a few to be successful! Diversity in lines is really the key! Good luck!

This stupid contraption works awesome and makes me laugh every time I use it!

I would not recommend the three-weight for steelhead fishing. I would step up to a four or five weight... Then you'd be all set for steelhead!!

Is this thesame set-up, when you catch that carp?

And what is the specic name of your reel?

No, I use a seven weight 10 ft for the carp.

No, I use a 20-year-old 10 ft 7 weight from Loomis.

Thanks

Sold my Dyna King so I could get the HMH. So glad I did, can tie anything from a size 22 to a 2/0+! My only complaint is that the jaws of the tip of the vice are a little soft, and have deformed a little bit.

Thank you, so glad you like them!

Thanks!

You'll have absolutely no troubles with that length of a cast! Enjoy and good luck!! Reach out to me on Instagram if you have other questions.

@@TroutTornado Thank you so much!!!

Thanks! I only share when I have some new and interesting flies to share! 😃

Well, that'd be interesting!! 🤣🤣

Thanks! I only share flies that catch fish!

I'm thinking of buying a new one, something similar to the HMH, any tips? I have an Apex Vise Anvil, but the jaw has already started to jam.

I really like it, overall I'd give it an 8 out of 10. Pro's holds all hook sizes from a 2/0 to a 20! Once you get it clamped down, hooks don't move, great rotation, smooth as silk! Con's you really need to crank down on the hook, and leverage the dial to make it hold (but once you do it's great). Also the jaws aren't 100% immune to damage from hooks... the jaws are ever so slightly damaged from me cranking down on the hooks.

That's funny, great comment!! 😅😅

Glad you enjoyed it

Black is always a really good color to use in off color water! Good luck!

​@@TroutTornado I greet you. Super classic answer, black is already viewed. I use the Fire Tiger wobbler from Rapala for spinning, but the CLN works better here. I tried tying it as a streamer, my colleague was excited, but it doesn't work. Maybe with your new method it will finally change. tied CLN color from Rapala with a red head. An ordinary Red Head can please rainbow trout on a bite, like a summer streamer...

Think of water as an ingredient in the fly, with water, and sparse materials comes movement and life. Also with less materials comes translucency, so the fly does not look solid against the sky. Remember baitfish are camouflaged so they dont get eaten.

great question, you could use one of the tags and if you did it would be the heavier test..

you could use rams wool

love this knot, hope you enjoy it too!

so glad to hear that you love it too!

Thank you! Cheers!

No need to spend $25 on something that you can make from leftover packaging. Love that thing and still use it today!

I'm so glad you like it, it's been a staple of mine for years. Works great, yet to fail!

That's a great idea! Yeah the micro clouser is one of my favorites too! Works well on striped bass, walleye, smallmouth, trout... really anything that swims!

Glad you like the fly!

Lol! I've changed my music choices making it easier to enjoy and tried to reduce the volume too!

So glad to hear that! My personal favorite!!

Thank you! So much fun to fish as well!!

Thanks man! It's such a fun fly to fish!!!

Thanks! I only share flies I have caught lots of fish on and try to make the videos easy, step by step!! Enjoy!!

Thanks, I really try to only post flies that are productive and easy to tie!

Thanks for visiting

I usually do swim test for this one I didn't, sorry.

Me 2 and more importantly the fish do too! 🎣🎣

Unfortunately the manufacturer doesn't exist anymore, any dubbing brush table will work.

Oh practice it at home; then when you get to the river it will be so simple! Enjoy!!

Thank you! They just love them!

Thanks this pattern is $$$ enjoy!

Thank you! I'm a huge fan of this pattern, simple, versatile and light on the drop! Oooohhhh so good! FTD has amazing materials at such a reasonable price which makes me feel like buying more! 😁 Enjoy the fly, I know you'll find success!

Great question, YES flashabou more pliable and shimmerbou is stiffer. At the end of the day you could tie this pattern with any sort of metallic flash material, the nice thing about shimmerbou is that it maintains its shape in and out of the water.

Thank you for your advice and videos.

Always a pleasure!!

Buy them directly from Renzetti, www.rdflyfishing.com/collections/brushes/products/flash-blend-baitfish-brush-5... Just pick your favorite brown! Glad you enjoy the videos!!

Thank you ! @@TroutTornado

Thanks Steve! 😁

You're going to love it's movement and fish catching abilities! One of my favorite flies!!

You can find it either in the description or within the first 30 seconds of the video.

No, I've never had good luck with circle hooks. I have used barbless hooks with great success!
