Craft Fur Reverse Tied Minnow - Underwater Footage! - Streamer Fly Tying Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- These are basically a craft fur glass minnow tied in reverse, then the fibers are pulled backwards to create a spine along the back of the fly. This raises the materials up a bit and helps keep the body fatter, while leaving the tail thin and flowing. This is a great fly for a number of fish. Tie it on a larger hook for large saltwater fish and freshwater pike, tie it on a smaller hook for trout and panfish. This size is great for freshwater bass, and many inshore saltwater species.

All fly tying videos should be like that - materials list, and pop-ups with what’s being used at each step. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
Agreed! McFly does a great job that.
I noticed that tying my craft fur in facing the rear usually leads to a profile that’s usually slimmer than intended. This is an awesome tip to get a little extra bulk and movement. Thank you.
Glad it helped
Glad you put the material list, that way i can tell my friends what i need. Thanks
👍
Damn, you tie your own flys?
Very good description, materials, & different method. Liked how you layered it. This video, and others of yours, are why you are my main tying channel. I've realized that I need to save up for a rotary vise! I can see variations from this fly. Couple of questions. How would you add color to the sides? Like a red stripe. Crystal flash or the hair? Next, could this be tied & be effective with bucktail? Could you put lead wrapping on it for sinking purposes and what size. The ultra thin size? Great video!
Ok sorry for the late response to this, there were a lot of questions. Thank you btw, I appreciate it. Rotary is beneficial for sure, but definitely not mandatory. It does help a lot though.
You can add color to the sides by adding fiber on the side closer to the top head portion of the fly. Check out my split tail shad for something similar.
Yes you can use bucktail but it won’t move as much in the water. Great though for a larger version.
Yes you can add lead, size depends on your sinking needs
Thanks!
This is so cool 👍
Thanks
Very nice fly
+Gabriel Ivan thank you Gabriel
Thanks!
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching
Hey thank you, just noticed that you gave a gift! You rock man! I appreciate it very much!
I have many flys and lures for the fly rod in which I love to use catching many fresh water species of fish. But sadly because of health issues i can’t go as much as I want to . If it’s ok I will share my wonderful designs with you. My papa poppers . I use coral floats from Walmart.take out center of long floats. cut 4 or more sections. cut to fit hook shank tie on glue on , add dressings, rubber legs, paint popper head if you want, white with black tiger stripes going down works great for me, when you quick pull the lure it not only pops but blows air bubbles out back . very much inticeing . my second comel float lure is papas flat boy. cut same type long float, long ways through center, cut out 6or more peace’s . glue hooks in center, paint if choice. put rubber legs in lure, add dressing. when cast they bounce like a rock skipping on the water. hope you enjoy and share . good fishing.
Cool thanks! John McCann? The late senator? How are you communicating? Lol!
Btw, I am sorry to hear about the health issues. I will keep you in my prayers.
Nice - you can also use a soft Fish Mask for the head
+Arthur Strauss yes you can for sure, but that costs a lot of money. Lol
Muito bom 👍
Mantap mas bro.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sorry I don’t understand.
@@McFlyAngler he said you did a great job bro
👍👍😊
What kind of applicator do you use for the Solarez? That thin applicator really seems to make it easy to apply. The kind of thin Solarez I have is in a small tube and is hard to apply due to the thick blunt end of the tube.
Solarez sells them. It’s their precision tip. I think they are like $2-3 or something
HELL YAH !!
👍
hello boy ... congratulations for your work ... I can know where you buy the materials and what do you use !?
I listed all the materials in the description section.
Easy and must be deadly. Did you try other colors combinations?
Yes, I have... Most of the normal baitfish color combo's work well.
Do you have to have the uv liquid for the head or can you just put eyes on there and so be it
Sure you can, just put a dot of superglue. it won’t look as good and the eyes will fall off with the first strike. But it will work. I have a new video where I review an inexpensive UV light. Look it up. It’s a good price. Solarez has a set of 3 of their UV resins for $10 or so I believe. So I’d recommend getting them. But you don’t have to
Im new to tying flies. Tied my first streamer last night. Most of the videos Ive watched have the hook down when tying streamers. Is there a disadvantage to tying the streamer with the hook up? Wouldn't having the hook up help with not snagging?
There are ways to tie with a hook up, look at some of my other videos. I’ve got a few with hook up. But generally they require some type of weight to counter the weight of the hook curve to make it swim hook point up.
Thanks for the reply. Im learning how to tie flies with your videos. Everytime I see a new video Im getting more material. Need more boxes to store my stuff. A rotary vise is next. Looking to get the one you use. Thanks again
MeGolf92 When fishing (and therefore tying) think about where in the water column you are fishing. Top? Middle? Bottom? For example with bass, on top you will be fishing/tying poppers and divers to emulate frogs, dragonflies, and other stuff that plops on or near the surface. Hook should be down for that as it's not going to snag the bottom. If in the middle, you are fishing/tying streamers like this one to emulate baitfish - again, not going to snag the bottom as they are fished in the middle of the water column. If you are on the bottom fishing/tying crayfish, leeches, or sculpins - weird little prehistoric dragon looking things you never knew existed - you will be fishing on the bottom and therefore you may want tie the hook up (1) to avoid snagging and (2) to help hook-ups. As those bottom flies often have barbell eyes, you can tie it to (hopefully) ride hook up. Others may disagree, but even for crayfish/sculpins/leeches, at least half are usually still hook down - just my experience. Crabs and shrimp for bonefish and permit are an entirely different topic on which I know nothing other than it looks fun.
I can never get craft fur that is long enough to do what you just did..any special place you get it from?
Make sure it’s called “extra select” craft fur and you will be good to go. Check out Dooleys fly fishing they will give you a discount if your my subscriber
@@McFlyAngler I have Extra Select in white from my local shop,.,doesn`t seem to give the length hair that you have there,. but your hair is out of frame in the video,,so I can`t really see how long it is.
@@McFlyAngler I think I know why it`s short. Somehow I thought you were using a 2/0,but now I see its a size 2..so I think the mystery is solved.
Oh yeah, haha! Size 2…
Shawn can you use bucktail also?
Sure
Does this fly need to be fished on a sinking line?
+Jonathan Zambrano (JZ) depends on where you fish. It won't float though, but it's not gonna sink quick. If your fishing deep, then yes, but most places I fish this I just throw a split shot on a floating line if I need more depth. Also you could do a wrap of lead on the hook shank before tying for some more weight though... if you need
Mc. Fly Lures very cool!! I fish mostly calm water in ponds! I like this a lot!
Where do you get that applicator for the Solarez?
On their website
What is the yarn collecting device called?
Yarn collecting device? I don’t think I used yarn in this video. Sorry I’m confused
What was the blue light for?
UV light to cure the resin
@@McFlyAngler thanks
whats the name of the tool u use to tie line?
Not sure what you mean? The tread you mean? If so, then maybe you mean a bodkin
What os that steel tube you use for threading?
Not sure what your asking, I didn’t thread anything in the video..
Ok so, I’m guessing you mean the bobbin threader.

What uv flashlight is that and what is its pricing?
It’s solarez’s own light. I think they are around $50 or so. Quite expensive but worth it if you plan on using it a lot. I’ve had mine for about 2 years and never had issues with it. Also it cures super fast!
McFly Angler Thanks!
@@McFlyAngler just a quick question my friend says i should use glasses when i use the uv light should i be concerned about my eyes because i dont use protection glasses?
I want to get some solarez but I don't know how good it is, I use loon and it's good but very pricey. Is it the same quality as loon? Pleade help!!
+John Campbell I cannot say it's the same, as both are different. What I can say is that I use solarez cause it's better price, and I think it works great. Each company makes similar products, but are both quality in my opinion. I did a review on solarez, check out that video. It might help.
where is the music from..its awesome
Thanks! All was taken off my editing software. I-Movie. Its free to use, and with this channel, free is what I need. HAHA
Thanks
