Adrian Struwig maybe, it was a generalization as it applies in concept. In the end all that really matters is we are all having fun tying and catching fish
Another question-- in this video you use the 7502 size 5 hook then the Arex size 1. Question: would a Gamakatsu B10S Size 1 be good with the sz5 7502? Thanks again, love your book and videos!
Thanks for the video Rich. Is there a general rule of thumb on the size difference between the front and rear hook or does it depend on the pattern? Thanks!
I have a question--in your book CATCHING SHADOWS on Pg 158, you have the 'recipe' for a Brown Trout Ice Pick. There is a line that says "Flanks: Yellow Senyo Laser Dub and marabou." My question is: where are these located on the fly, and how do you tie them in correctly? Thank you
You simply tie the msrabou in before each clump of laser dub on either side of the hook. 4-5 fibers each side. You do the same with the yellow laser dub.
For all the articulated versions yes, they were primarily designed for that fly as I used to spin the brushes out of various colors of ice dubbing. You can use the same size brush on the singles as well but once you go smaller than a size 4 the smaller brushes are a better fit.
So glad you started on TH-cam!!! When you metioned rubber legs I am 99% sure I know who/which fly you are talking about 😂

Great looking version, definitely like the new MFC vertical eye hooks they are game changers when it comes to articulated flies .
Love the videos, keep them coming Rich!

Awesome Rich
What Brush are you using?
EP sparkle brush
Rich Strolis lol
I meant the brush you comb with
Ed Torchia you gotta specify bud, lol!! It’s a wool comb but EP sells them or you can find them on amazon
Thanks for the video Rich. Is there a general rule of thumb on the size difference between the front and rear hook or does it depend on the pattern? Thanks!
Nate Riel typically want the rear hook 1-2 sizes smaller than the front but that’s just a general rule of thumb
That's what I figured, thanks for the info.

@@RichStrolis OK so 4-5 marabou fibers on each side, THEN the yellow Laser Dub over those, then the regular Collar laser dub over that?
Thanks!
Great fly.
What exactly does the monofilament loop do? Does it keep the tail from fouling around the hook?

Hi Rich,
What size EP steamer brush do you like to use? 3”? Thank you!
For all the articulated versions yes, they were primarily designed for that fly as I used to spin the brushes out of various colors of ice dubbing. You can use the same size brush on the singles as well but once you go smaller than a size 4 the smaller brushes are a better fit.
What material do you use if you were going to add the rainbow stripe?
Marabou and laser dub
Precioso montaje gracias,si te sobra algo de material mándamelo que estoy empezando un saludo
You can take your waste material from the rabbit strips and make dubbing or a small dubbing brush
There's just something about catching fish on a fly we made ourselves.
