Looks like a killer fly thanks

[@mikejames663]

really good fly

[@TheStreamUrchin1]

just fantastic

[@bkbretislavkaspar-flyfishi1502]

Stream Urchin Thanks! It is very good Fly.

[@TheStreamUrchin1]

For an easy sculpin patters I wrap a marabou feather after I tail it on and twist marabou up 2/3 of hook. This builds a tapered body. Then use deer hair to build head clouser style with eyes. Nice little suize 6-8 fly. 4-5 minute tie Search Schenk's Sculpin on youtube

[@bkbretislavkaspar-flyfishi1502]

Thanks Buddy, I will take a look.

[@TheStreamUrchin1]

That tail action would be great on hex nymph. I live close to Lake Erie in Ohio. The hex hatch is so heavy it shows up on Doppler radar. I may try to dampen plume to make it easier to handle

[@bkbretislavkaspar-flyfishi1502]

Oh, I saw these events with closed bridges. It's spectacular. But is it good for fishing, with so many insects on water?

@@bkbretislavkaspar-flyfishi1502 It occurs in middle of lake in 20/30 m deep. In one of the Fniger Lakes they have a size 14 white mayfly hatch on Father's day in June. Lake trout and cat fish can be caught with dry flies. Up state NY

can use rubber legs also

[@milosbozilovic7843]

Fantastic! The dumbell eyes will ride the fly upside down?

[@bkbretislavkaspar-flyfishi1502]

I use now more often little foam eyes for stillwater in combination with a fully sinking line of course. For stream fishing use these dumbell eyes, but its more like swinging the fly and ad a lot of action to a fly, so than it moves and rotates in ale direction.

@@bkbretislavkaspar-flyfishi1502 It make sense. Thank you for the answer and a great patern. Cheers and tight lines!!

@@milosbozilovic7843 Where are You from Miloš? I had great success with this pattern on Alpen streams for Rainbow Trouts but in grey colour. Tight lines!

[@douglasthorn6951]

Dude, turn the vise and your body to face the camera so we can see you work. When you put the camera to the side, you block the action. Many thanks

[@evanjenkins4835]

Instructions value is 5 but your hands block the camera and thus the video value is 2. Put the camera on the other side and redo the video without your hands blocking the fly.
