  • This is the first of a series of fly tying tutorials I will be posting. This streamer is deadly for smallmouth bass in moving water. If you try out this fly for yourself, please let me know in the comments how it worked for you. As always, any comments with tips and/or recommendations are much appreciated. Please Subscribe if you want to see more fly tying videos and quality fishing content. Thanks for watching!
    Recipe:
    Hook: 3XL Streamer hook, size 6
    Eyes: Chartreuse lead dumbbell eyes
    Thread: 280 d Chartreuse
    Wire: Dark green Ultra Wire
    Tail: Two marabou feathers (olive and grizzly used in video)
    Flash: Crystal Flash
    Hackle: Grizzly streamer neck hackle (Schlappen works too)
    Back: Olive rabbit strip
    Body: Olive ice chenille
    Head: 2 colors of Senyo's Laser Dub (olive and white used here)
    Next in the series will be the best fly for carp fishing.

    awesome thanks I've been flyfishing for a while but just now getting into fishing for bass. Do you think this pattern will work well In big rivers like the Columbia River in Washington state?

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your Friendly Neighborhood Fisherman I have never been to the PNW, but if the water runs fairly clear then I would expect this fly to work there. Good Luck!

      Fishing Vibes that awesome if you don't mind me asking how do you fish this type of fly

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Luther Ardinger Ask away man! I like to swinging it through current with some short hops, or stripping it through slower water. As long as it's near the bottom

    • @overloadedoutdoors7582
      @overloadedoutdoors7582 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    i am a smallmouth angler and i am learning to tie flies but im wondering what line weight you use for smallmouth

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +kenny bouvier I use a 6wt rod for 99% of my Smallmouth fishing. That being said, I've lost some smallies that made me wish I was using a 7 or 8wt. Thanks for watching!

    • @kennybouvier6455

      +Jonathan Barrow sorry for the late reply but I use orange barred rabbit strip, brown hackle, orange chenille , brown marabou, and rust colored dubbing. Hope this helps

    What do you call the fly

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jacob Arnold My flies have no names, only purposes. Call it Smallmouth catcher, because that is what it does. Thanks for watching!

  • @Electricshadows
    @Electricshadows 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    What size rod/line

  • @matthewkeen9072
    @matthewkeen9072 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Would you be willing to sell a few of those flies?

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Matthew Keen Shoot me an email at fishingvibes1@gmail.com, we could work something out.

  • @seanmooney3907
    @seanmooney3907 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not too difficult. I wonder, when that rabbit fur gets wet is it much more difficult to cast? I only have a 5wt. rod. I had better get a larger one before going for smallmouth on the fly. I have spinner rods that I use for bass, I guess those eyes are sufficient weight to cast with a spinner. All the best and thanks for sharing. Sean

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Sean Mooney I have no problem casting this fly with my 6 wt, moderate action rod. In smaller sizes, it's definitely castable with a 5wt, especially in the smaller rivers/creeks that smallmouth love. Good luck with those smallies!

  • @shawnwhalen8314
    @shawnwhalen8314 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have all kinds of trouble getting them to bite, I was out yesterday, throw swimming jimmy, closer, Etc. They just watched it...no strikes. Grabbed my spinnng rod with a Pac-Man color Whopper Plopper...they destroyed it...25 fish! Talk about frustrating! Even the old faithful black Wolly Bugger didn't work....I tried everything and different retrieves. I keep trying.

    If you can tie a fly that can compete with the Niko hellgrammite, you will have the best small mouth fly.

    Looks like a pain in the ass to tie. Just tie a bugger and lash on some barbell eyes.
