I liked your demo. Nice precise tying and materials handling especially with the ostrich in the dubbing loops. Thanks for the materials list at the end of the vid! Good explanations as to why you were doing something and why you use each specific material in that location. Very nicely done. Thank you. Uncle Vern
It’s a very versatile pattern , I often tie them 20mm and very the color combination bead head or with eyes for trout Spey . They swim nice and trout love them . Thanks for the video
I’m not Marcus but I’ll answer. The difficulty of fall fishing (and some water in general) is water levels are ever so changing. The short answer to save time. And here is the long answer... Many times I’ll tie the same fly mildly weighted and not, why? Because say I’m on a tip with 5ft float/5ft t8 and I walk a run and find myself in a deeper hole. With the expectation I’ll be going back to shallower water soon I’d rather not waste the time tip changing/fly. I pre-rig flies w/ 20in of tippet to loop to loop and thus can have a heavier fly on in seconds. I’d rather take a few extra minutes off the water to capitalize on my time on it. Cheers Nick 🍺 hope this helps.
@@Avicados are SH like Bass where you have to hunt for them at a certain depth depending on the water temp? Or is it strictly flows? Do you ever do lead wraps or mostly lead eyes?
With falling water temps, I tend to start fishing light to medium weight flies this time of year to get me a little closer to the fish. Using the tip to get you down is always a good method too but having some weight in the fly helps get it down earlier in the swing and track at that depth. But it still depends on the river a bit, how grabby the fish are, and the run that you're fishing. Thanks for tuning in!
@@Belbivdevoe Here is a really good tip, rule of thumb if you are increasing 50% the original depth try a weighted fly first. ie: fishing 5ft water, then you find yourself in a 7.5ft run, grab that weighted version. If I am trying to achieve twice the difference (100%) then I switch tips. Reason? Well its a lot easier to add weight to a system than subtract, shoot for the lightest tip applicable for the job to give yourself easy variance when systems dictate.
Love seeing ostrich spun, such an underused method. Stellar work Marcus. My difference would be to lick the shiz out of my fingers over water because I like to share my saliva when possible 👍 If only orange worked on my side of the Columbia. I’ll throw up a purple, black and touch of orange in honor.

Absolutely love that color combo
It’s a very versatile pattern , I often tie them 20mm and very the color combination bead head or with eyes for trout Spey . They swim nice and trout love them . Thanks for the video
Love watching like see you do a black and purple all I know asked to tie one been out so long not sure thx
Sorry, where can I find the red magnet to lock the hook on the clamp, thanks for the reply
So are these for sale on your website
Mr Marcus.. are you running weight on all of your fall flys? I've always heard to get the fly down with the lines instead of the fly

@@ashlandflyshop770 do you guys have a video on that? Also what happened to your starting QB John H?

Where did you get that magnet?
We have them in the shop. They are the Loon Vice Pawn.
