Tying the Mulch Minnow for perch, bass, trout

A remake of a fly I tied and used mainly for perch last season. Slightly sparser with the bucktail and a closer resemblance to the minnow colours we find over here in the UK. It's a very quick fishing fly, which I use mostly on the dropper with a heavier point fly. Double hook-ups are common.
Materials:
Ahrex NS172 sz4
Veevus GSP100
Nayat (snow runner) black
Squimpish Hair in Mulch
Bucktail in tan and white
Veniard Glister dub in orange
6mm Yellow tape eyes

Its amazing how easy you make it look!

[@paul_monaghan]

Thank you. I tie 20-30hrs a week so get plenty of practice time

[@loubrownguy69]

Great fly! I will be tying some of those for sure! Thanks for the video and the inspiration! 👍

[@paul_monaghan]

My pleasure👍

Many thanks for the video Paul. I think this fly is usable for: "asp"

Hi Paul
Great video. I have not handled Squimpish hair but have read the sales pitch. Do you use it as an alternative to bucktail or has it worthwhile properties that bucktail or other synthetics don’t have? Thanks! Alan

[@paul_monaghan]

I use it to add a little length sometimes over bucktail or subtle colour shift. I wouldn't use it to replace bucktail

[@jeremiashauck114]

Dear Paul, your bucktail looks great! Which company you recommend? Thx

[@paul_monaghan]

A lot of mine is Waspi as I'm close to a Danish distributer. Always contact the shop first and explain what you are looking for in a bucktail. Being a natural material every tail is different. One man bad bucktail is another mans good

Beautiful fly. Thank you. Which type of black and brown fibers do you use?

[@paul_monaghan]

Have a look at the description. Full material list is there I recall. Squimpish Fibre and nayat
