I’m sorry, what are you talking about? There’s no action at all. I have to be honest so you can go make a better fly

​@@justinphilpott150wtf are YOU talking about?

I might have to try the dishwasher method one day. I am not brave enough to do that.

Only do this on all metal reels click pawl.

Thanks for watching! It really is a great pattern.

SMP stands for Skip Morris Panfish.

Thanks!

Well, Thanks!

They are excellent flies! And black is such a great color for Rios, or pretty much anything swimming around here in Texas. Super underrated. Thanks for sharing. Texas Freshwater Fly Fishing (www.texasfreshwaterflyfishing.com) is running the Year of the Rio contests this year, so you should definitely submit the pictures of your Rio for that.

@@texasfreshwaterflyfishing5113 i submitted a pic last time period. unfortunately we have been having so much rain all the creeks and bayous are flowing too fast. i hope to get a few caught real soon. thanks!

Thanks for the nice comment. When you catch something on it, let me know!

Haha, yeah. I have several bobbins now. That was the very first one I ever got, and it was like that from the start. I didn't know it was wrong, so I just used it and found ways to make it useful. I now know "better" but still use that old piece of junk!

Thanks. It swims and fishes really well also. Give it a shot and let me know how it works out for you! If you don't want to tie it on your own, it is available here: flydrology.com/collections/hand-tied-flies/products/crawfish-bite

Thanks. Yes, this is a great pattern. I have started tying them larger and making some small additions to great some amazing Bass flies also. I love this fly.

LOL. Yeah, that one is terrible, but it works. I have another that works just fine, I just didn't feel like changing out thread because of that.

Its a Dyna-King FC Enhanced. And I would love to see what you tied up!

@@texasfreshwaterflyfishing5113 well, I'd show you, but can't figure out how to post a picture. I didn't have squirrel tail or tinsel so my bodies are created using golden brown ice dub. Natural Pheasant tail fibers for the tail. Sunburst yellow maribou for the wing, and light olive deer hair for the head. Lol, they look awesome!

Good looking fly. Matches color of some of darters and sculpins in our MO rivers .

@@JohnDozierSr50 Thanks!

It is an easy pattern, and quick to tie enough to fill your box. Thanks! You could use a hair stacker. I don't though, because I want the hairs to be different lengths. I will get them semi-close, but I don't worry too much about it. I think more varied lengths give it a more natural look.

They really are a great little fly that can catch everything. So many people think they will only catch small fish (and they can catch a bunch of small fish) but I've landed some nice size bass on these little flies also.

It really is a great fly. What do you do differently with it?

Haha, yeah, I think I just couldn't find my tool at that moment!!! And, I like the idea of the pipe cleaner, I will give it a shot.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, spinning the thread to flatten it out can definitely help! In time when I am fishing the fly slower, or in areas with more vegetation, I will do this! When I am just pumping them out to fish fast in more open water, I don't worry about it as much. I should have mentioned that in the video. Thanks!

@@texasfreshwaterflyfishing5113 thanks

Thanks Ian. That's what I modeled it after. And you should start fly fishing! Hope you are doing well.

@@texasfreshwaterflyfishing5113 I’ve been doing pretty good ! Been heavily bass fishing and pushing to get a channel started I already have a group going as well

@@ianmontelongo9278 Awesome! Well make sure you stay in touch. Let me know if you ever need anything.
