As someone new to all this (about 9 months or so) I want to say a heartfelt Thank You for this video! You start this hobby/craft and it's the foam, and the synthetics and the poly this and fake that... To see the patterns that got it all started... ring or even up-eye patterns... THAT is what I want to learn!!
Deadly fly pattern! I tied this dry fly last May or June of 2021after watching your history and tying instruction videos. My first cast yielded a 16 inch Brown Trout! My third cast yielded a 14 inch Brown Trout! I saw trout rising to this fly on almost every drift but my strip set technique was off that day but it was the best day I have ever had on the White River. I have an army of Roberts Drakes ready to do battle in 2022. Thanks for sharing! Tight lines! Cheers!
I keep hearing about an old fly pattern for drakes tied with deer hair. The name sounds like Robert Schiller but I am not sure how it is spelled. Hope you can help.
The Robert’s Yellow Drake just might be my favorite pattern to tie and to fish. I didn’t know Clarence was your Uncle until watching this video; what a great tribute to him ! Nicely tied with great camera work as well. Love your easy going demeanor too. This video should have hundreds of “likes” if not thousands. A1

Thanks John, it’s a great fly with lots of history! Cheers
Very nice dry fly!! I really enjoyed the instructions. I have tied this up and am adding this pattern to my fly box.
Clarence also trimmed the post before tying in, as he said, “on a bias”; trimmed at an angle to minimize the butt tie down process.

Humm, I am not familiar with any name like that associated with a deer hair drake.
@@SchmidtOutfitters thanks for the reply.
@@bobnorman5269 The North Branch Drake is tied with deer hair, and might be called a Roberts North Branch?
