Angry Surfer Fly - Niklaus Bauer

Wood carving is on the menu for this one. Well not really, but it is highly inspired of a famous glide bait from us called - Manta
The cool and deadly action of glide baits are the movements, how they glide from side to side and the balance of them whey you stop, it just stays there, just waiting for your next pull. Deadly.
Converted into a fly took it lot of try and failure but after a bunch I manage to get it how I wanted, the perfect gliding pike fly.

Superb looking fly would love to be able to tie something as good as that

[@sweaspurdoddd5466]

Going to tie this even smaller for perch

[@paulbridgers3820]

Really like watching your videos, great looking fly I would love to win this one and try it out on some large mouth bass here in the states. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next one. Tight lines.

Hi Niklaus,
Love it. Manta was my alltime favorite jerkbait before i started flyfishing for pike. Got to try this pattern. Closed season here in holland so time to try and make a couple.

Also search for his hover fly. That one is also deadly in dutch waters. Greetings from noordholland

[@wolverine7878]

Hi Niklaus, very cool fly. I am sure that big perch and also pike will love this fly. You always create great pattern. Thanks for showing and tight lines from Hamburg Germany. Tack sa mycket

[@frippeonthefly]

Cool fly and cool concept Mr. Bauer 👍🏻🎣

[@pikemoucheur7812]

hello Niklaus, Magnifique !! like each time you inward ! maybe this time, I will win one of these superf fly regards

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Can truly appreciate the R&D work that goes into developing fly and lure designs. I use to rack my brain 🧠 on how to impart actions from the conventional lure and I will again once I get into a house again and set up my fly tying station. Thanks for the inspiration I definitely want to tie this one. 😎🎣

[@augustonthefly]

Wow cool, lots of cool principles in this one. Thanks Niklaus and the crew!

[@oiadde]

Awesome Design idea and pattern you've developed there. Really like it.

[@johankarlsson614]

Inspirerande som alltid, cool ny bindteknik 😃👍🙏

[@kevinearl9625]

Excellent, great tying creativity. Well done

[@dannypophal5969]

Nice lure and thanks for the explanation!

[@ericrobertson7238]

Great fly. I tie flies a lot like lures to, or at least the colors of them. Also, I smash the mono flat with pliers to help it hold better when tying on hook, otherwise I've had mono move on me because it's two round surfaces together.

[@sonja9001]

Ok man, that is one cool fly. It does a motion in the water I only have seen a soft plastic fluke do. You make the tying process look so easy. Thanks for sharing you talent on TH-cam!

[@50Squirrel]

Spectacular fly as always!

[@Lext3]

Nice pattern

[@joeduca8582]

Niklaus, you're an artist and a creative designer. Excellent tutorial and awesome name for the fly's "personality"! Thanks for another great video.👍

[@marchenderson4759]

Absolutely sick design

[@simonolsen320]

cool and different kind of fly that for sure would be interesting to try!

[@craiggranquist1848]

Another great fly👍

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

Absolutely amazing Nick!!! I fish wooden lures for pike here in Minnesota like this, would love to try the fly version!!!!

[@martinrosenmill3390]

Den där ser livsfarlig ut! Skulle nog vara det i slutet på min tafs också. Om den kommer så långt 😅

[@kimeriklarsen7291]

Thanks for a great video 🤟🐊🤟 the best of the best 🙌🙌

[@glennplatvoet7111]

That's very nice it's a good pattern looks like a keeper for keepe s.

[@vwgtigreenbug]

Looks nice. Not bulky and looks like it’s easy to cast.

[@JimmyVDE]

I'm angry, the fly is angry. We can both be angry on the water :)

[@rlwkirsch]

What line do you fish this on? I would think either an intermediate or slow sink line. On a floating line would this ride too high?

[@marksmits1911]

Floating line would do fine. I tied his hover fly and that goes just below the surface like 10 cm below

[@marcelmooibroek1859]

Hi Niklaus,
The size of double tail in the material list says size M. I ordered some but they look quit small? Is a XL also possible?
Regards,
Marcel

[@ramonzetina6781]

Send it all the way down to Campeche Mx to tested on the tropical salty scalys, sure tarpon & snook will crushe ir!!!

[@cgcalhoun1936]

Unbelievable!!!

[@adinatea_flyfishing-flytying]

🔥👏🎣🤘

[@j.brock3]

The tiger musky here would destroy that!

[@antonkarlsson3452]

Goding to try to tie a smaller version for perch and also some bigger for pike.

[@danielostman5805]

Andreas has to make a version with dearhair!

[@юрийкаленик-е1ъ]
