If you are careful about where and what you cut, it looks like you would be able to tie a major woody and a nymph like this one using a single wood duck feather.
I am wondering how we got along without TH-cam, every week there is enough new patterns for me to tie and play with, never mind the hole in my wallet! For some odd reason, I am now looking at NJ as a fly fishing destination!
Haha I think us fly fisherman never mind the hole in our wallets cause we are doing something we love and have passion for good luck and tight lines my friend
Just watched this again...a favorite has always been "meet the hendriksons" This fly works great in colorado...I usually put an rs2 or cheesman emerger as a dropper...good year round
I love the fly. Thanks for sharing. I tie a very similar nymph using partridge fibers dyed in various colours. Nothing quite matches that natural ,warm wood duck colour. Its almost a perfect match for the appendages of those nymphs. Karl
I hadn't read it, but i just looked at the MSDS linked from their website and it does indicate a toxicity for green algae and a specific fish species (Golden Orfe) that is not found in North America. The effect on invertibrates is '"Not determined". It does not specify whether there is a difference between the liquid and cured product. Anybody know?
Great question! As I was developing the pattern and testing it I tried it without the rib and it was catching fish just fine with no durability issues at all (like 3 to 4 fish with no problems). Then, hooked one a little deep and took the fly out with mildly serrated forceps and "sprong" broken yellow pheasant tail everywhere. Moral of the story, absolutely use wire for durability, counter wrapped would be best. Not sure if the wire adds anything in terms of fish catching.
I can never wait to see your new videos, they're just amazing, i love how you work on them, its just addictive to watch... I would love to see a Matuka fly or a gray wulf, they work exceptionally well here in Patagonia. Cheers!
@@lelandeaton3313 I would recommend an assortment of sizes. I've never seen any as big as a 14, but I'd have 14-20. When those browns get picky, which is always, it's good to have what they want. We've been up there not getting a bite on 16s and then switch to an 18 and caught them one after another. Good luck and keep me posted!

...just use tweezers and pick up a bead wide side up, and put it on the hook...then rotate your hook to its proper orientation
Liked the idea of using hackle pliers to hold the lead free wire in place while wrapping forward nice tip thanks

loved the footage of the naturals in the beginning! pattern looks killer as always, thanks
Well done! You do some great tying videos. Thanks so much!!!
That's a good lookin fly. Love the color/material choice

Looks great Tim, I'll take a couple dozen! I'll pick them up a Shannon's on Saturday. ;) Thanks for another great video!

Nice video. Gonna try something similar to this for pmds here in the sierras. Probably will just change dubbing color.
If you have an issue with the pesky lead wire tip. You can mash the tip and wrap it making a smooth end.
I like that colour of thread and pheasant tail feather. I'm thinking some traditional PTNs with a touch of gold! 🙂
Appreciate the suggestion to have small sizes ready if the trout are suspicious 🥴🥴
Nice little nymph Tim! Think I am going to need to start another nymph box :-)
Good looking fly. I'll tie a few up and see how they work on the west branch of the Delaware.
very stylish - love it!
Where can one purchas wood duck colored thread?
Wapsi carries it but just about any shade of yellow thread will work fine
Looks good bud, I'm gonna have to give it a try
Turns out it appeals to Battenkill trout also.
Well done. Great study and execution.
have you read warnings on back of bondix and how toxic it is to aquatic life? i hadn't until i brought some after watching this vid.

awesome!
Would you use this in the raritain all year
great commentary an a sweet fly
what is the uv set up you are using? Where can be gotten? thanks, Tony
He's using Bondic. You can purchase it on Amazon.
Amazing work again Tim
What UV product do you use for your wing case?
Bondic
Amazing tie!
Very nice!
Curious why no ribbing material?

Great pattern will tie some now!
That's by far one of the best looking sulfur nymph patterns I've seen. I can't wait to try in on the South Holston!
Josh Higdon I will try it next week on the South Holston 😊
@@lelandeaton3313 post up how you do! You'll freak out seeing those 20 pound trout just sitting and sipping the tiniest nymphs.
Josh Higdon I will try them on the South Holston next week. They worked well in the past on freestone streams in the Smoky Mountains.😉😉😉
