- Craft Fur Clousers aren't like deer hair closures. Sure they look similar, and tied in similarly as well. However, I find that there are a few things that make the craft fur closure more difficult to tie than the original buck tail clousers. I go over some of the techniques that make it easy though, and once. you learn these, they actually become quicker and easier than their natural cousin.
One thing about craft fur is that it flows very nicely in the water. That makes this the perfect material for small closures. I have tied them down to size 16 even, and you still get a little movement even. Thats the thing, I find bucktail closures work much better than craft fur clousers when tied larger. Usually size 2 and up. You could even get away with a size 4 in bucktail, but I feel its important to get that movement, so smaller than that, I always reach for craft fur.
As always I list the materials I use. Also don't forget to check out www.risenfly.com and use my discount code McFly at checkout. You will get a discount on some already great prices.

Hi from Kansas City.🎣🤠. Dave Hughes fly tyer. Wonderful pink closer. The pink color is fantastic here in the Midwest. I've been tying these with a little bit of white on the bottom with silver tensel on each side. Works great on all fish. Good luck always 🤠 Dave Hughes 🎣
Thanks man, sounds like a good color pattern you make. Have a great day.
Fantastic !!!
Will be giving this one a go !!
👍
Nice video! Keep them coming. We appreciate it.
Thanks, glad you like them.
Love this fly, looks similar to the green one I got from you! Keep the videos coming!
I think I sold you some pink as well right?
Love this fly!
Thank you.
Cool fly
Thank you
Love those
thank you
I need to try trying some craft fur clousers. Don't know why I never have before!
Give it a try, they do work
Good video
Cool thanks
Would like to see some different color variations for this fly. I've been tying buck hair clousers but I love the look of a craft fur clouser.. might have to get some materials soon..
Yeah give it a try. Same technique, just use different colors. Craft fur comes in a wide range of colors so.
Sweet
Thanks
@@McFlyAngler you’re welcome
Love the videos and just used your link to get some more fur. Does this ride hook point up because of the bead chain eyes? Thank you!
Yeah it should. And thank you.
Would you recommend 2 toning this by adding a clump of white to the belly side? Or would it be too much? Trying to make a natural pattern for specks
Yeah for sure, add white, can be tied in any colors.
Would you recommend this fly to use with a 5w rod ?
Oh yeah I would say it would cast really well.
Hi McFly Happy Holidays, have you tied any salt water teasers .
Not "teasers" but I have tied plenty of saltwater flies. Teasers are not much different than some patterns ive tied before, they just don't have hooks. HAHA
What do you think about the various colors of synthetic hair for tying?
Tying what? Sorry I can't answer this without more info sorry...
What type of bobbin is that?? Need one with a long tube like this
Sure, its this one... amzn.to/3nz1ZuC
Dang McFly! You make it look so easy! I like streamers with prominent eyes like this one. What’s your take on purpose built barbless hooks vs. pinching the barb on conventional hooks? I think purpose built hook and hold better.
They do yes, for the most part. At least well made purpose built. Usually the way its shaped tend to hold on better for some reason (if its designed well). However sometimes the little nub left from The barb can help hold on as well. Personally I have a memory issue, and so occasionally I will forget to clip the barb. I try my best to use barbless when possible so I don't forget. HAHA
@@McFlyAngler Well, I caught a 20” brown on a #18 barbless zebra midge you tied so whatever hooks you use keep on using them!
Lol! Yes I try to only get the best hooks. How are things?
@@McFlyAngler I’m holding my own Shawn and thanks for asking. Looking forward to many more fly fishing adventures!
How much does that weigh? I have a ultralight spinning setup and it is for 1-9 grams
Not sure, I didn't weigh them, but if you want more weight use lead eyes instead.
@@McFlyAngler good idea. Thanks
I'm an avid UL/SUL fisherman and fly fish as well. My experience is that most flies are well under 1 g. Even if it reached 1 g, this clouser would probably be difficult to cast due to air resistance. Like McFly wrote, you can use lead eyes to get the weight up. The downside is you then have to fish the fly faster, undoing some of the benefits of using a fly. Of course clousers are often heavy flys anyway. Are you using an ajing rod? That's my guess based on the 1-9 g lure range.
@@RonMTube might be true. I fish in small streams with supricingly deep pockets so not being able to cast long and sinking wouldn't be a problem. I think tying tube flies too. That's what they use with ultra light and fly fishing setups for trout, grayling and rainbow trout where i come from.
And i bought Noeby Infinite trout ul rod
h5.aliexpress.com/item/32966117138.html
Bob, I cannot say whether or not that is a good rod. I have not heard of Noeby, or the rod. But if it works for you then great. I honestly couldn't tell you even if I did hear of it because its been so long since ive used conventional gear. As Ron said, most "flies" are quite light in order to cast with a fly rod. However, I do fish some rather heavy flies on occasion and throw them on a 6wt-8wt or so. They can be casted with a heavier rod setup. I suspect you could cast this with an ultralight spinning reel if you use lead eyes rather than dumbbells.

awesome video fella, im just starting with my 1st fly tying video. Atlantic Salmon and striped bass flies. Have you checked out the striped bass fishery on the Miramichi River ? @thenewflyfisher just posted a really great video, have a look and if your ever interested in coming here for some striped bass fishing on the fly let me know !
Thank you. No I have not fished there. Thanks for the invite. Unfortunately my travel to fishing ability is currently limited, but if I ever get the chance I’ll let ya know
