A beauty! Thanks, Martyn

[@FlickingFeathers]

Cheers Gary, it'll be more beautiful wedged in an 8lb mullet's lip!

@@FlickingFeathers You are absolutely RIGHT!!! lol😄

[@kerrypitt9789]

I don't get to fish Mullet where I am in Canada. Pretty sure this would work as a Trout fly, fished under a strike indicator right near the bottom. Nice work. I'll subscribe. It is hard to find good thing videos that are not musicals! I've been tying a very long time, but I always find something new! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@FlickingFeathers]

Glad you enjoyed it, have a look through my older videos there are lots of trout flies in there too

[@derek38fishing]

I'm enjoying this mullet series I'm finding it hard to get the right size glass beads, can you link to your source?

[@FlickingFeathers]

I buy from a craft shop here in Japan. Try an embroidery/sewing shop if the fly shops near you can't help

[@crisworledge4289]

Is there a way to protect the bead? I always end up cracking them

[@FlickingFeathers]

I think it's something that you need to live with, but making sure that the barb doesn't score the bead when you are threading it on does help a little

Hi Martyn, I have really enjoyed your new series on mullet flies. I happened to be reading Colin Macleod's new book, Mullet on the Fly. Keep on your good work! BTW, may I hope you will also do some tutorials on Kurodai flies as I requested a couple weeks ago? Stay safe and well!

[@FlickingFeathers]

I'll do the kurodai fly over the next couple of weeks, they live in the same box as my mullet flies. The tagged Romy's sand shrimp from Tuesday has caught me a few kurodai too by the way.

[@allieone8518]

@@FlickingFeathers It is good to know that mullet flies also work for kurodai. I am really interested in fly fishing for carp, bream, and mullet, and they happen to be among the most finicky and hard-to-catch fish. LOL

[@FlickingFeathers]

Just filmed the kurodai fly, it'll be up today or tomorrow
