If you’re a brook trout devotee (like me), these types of flies are your bread and butter nymphs. I don’t nymph too often and usually it’s with a dry dropper but when I *do* nymph, it’s with a flashback pheasant tail, GC hare’s ear or something with some pizazz…brook trout are enthusiastic feeders and getting them to see your fly is 70% of the battle. My personal best native brookie was a 12” beast that took the flashback pheasant tail underneath my parachute adams.
I like using a flashback as the top fly in a two fly nymphing rig in still water. Even still I seem to get the majority of strikes on the bottom fly. Maybe the top fly doesn't appear natural enough. Nice tie McFly!
Thanks man! Yeah many times (depending on where I go fish) the bottom, more realistic or simpler fly gets bit first. But not always, for instance my last trip it was these and prince nymphs (both were my lead flies) that were catching all the fish. Haha.
McFly Angler That's really interesting. I usually tie the bottom fly off the hook shank of the top fly. I'm thinking that may make it look unrealistic.. I've tried using a short dropper for the top fly but it gets tangled up pretty easily. I either need a better method or Magic McFly flies!
Sure the butter stick was a 4wt…. And I find I like using this fly as my lead fly (first fly) because it’s heavy. It gets the nymphs down. Then behind it (distance depends on your waters) I drop a light fly like a black beauty or wd-40 or something. All under an indicator or even euro nymphing style. Good luck man! If you want a good nymph rod, check out risen fly. Www.risenfly.com. They have some nymphing rods there that are awesome! I’d recommend a 3 or 4wt 10’ rod to nymph with. And best of all they will give you a discount on your first order. Type in McFly at checkout.
@@McFlyAngler that's amazing advice, thank you.. I'm with everything an still learning..I'd like to get the 6wt butter stick but not sure what my options are for what I'm throwing on it.
Well are you nymphing? If so, the butter stick isn't stiff enough in my opinion. It is however a great dry fly rod. So it just depends on what your looking to do.
Excellent video! I have a technical question! We're preparing to film a series of fly tying videos, and I'm wondering what camera/lens combo you are using? Your depth of field is beautiful, I would typically expect 50mm to achieve this look but the camera is POV verses filming back at you as you tie which I would assume would require more distance between your body and the lens... would you be willing to walk me through your setup?
Thanks, glad you like them. I use a mirror less DSLR with a basic (kit) lends. Then put a different sized spacers in to get a more or less powerful macro. Lots of work, and lots of re-tying specific parts to get the best shot. Takes me over an hour to film just one simple fly. I’ve had it take as much as 2-3 hours just to film. When I tie, I look though the camera (screen) rather than the fly because the camera is between me and the fly. Private message me on Instagram and I can give you more detail.
Well technically I don’t think it’s a copper John. But go ahead and tie it without one, personally I think beads are cheap enough to just pick a few up.
@@McFlyAngler I agree but when you're tying on a budget, sometimes you have to substitute materials. Would uv resgine work as a substitute or thicker thread?
Give it a try. Beads aren’t expensive though. You can get them very great prices. Go to www.risenfly.com and their beads are awesomely priced. I’ll even give you my discount code there for one time use. Type in McFly at checkout and you will get an additional 15% off
These videos are incredible. I'm at a loss for superlatives. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much, very kind of you.

Brookies are a blast for sure!
Being a pheasant and waterfowl hunter is pretty convenient for fly tying.
It really is! Unfortunately there isn’t really much in the way of pheasant hunting near me. Lots of turkey and duck though! :).
I've tied variations of this fly using sandhill crane and turkey wing from ones I bagged. Works well.
Great video, even without the new 4K cam. 👍🏻 I learned several important techniques.
Thanks. Yeah the 1080p cam was still really good.
Excellent video¡¡¡¡ greetings fron Argentina
Thank you.
your tutorials are fantastic
Thank you very much
Great vid! Thanks. I like how you show at the end of the video, the fish that you caught using this fly.
Thanks! Yeah I wish I could do that for each video but, sometimes it not feasible
Love this one! I tied a couple from the example and plan to try it out tomorrow.
Thanks, tell me the they work for you.
I love not using peacock and using drubbing… espically on smaller flies. Better tier than me🤣👍🏻
Dubbing is easier on the tiny stuff for sure. Thanks!
Fished these for years. There was never a time where I tied one on and didnt catch!
Yeah man! They are good for sure! I find though that any flash back is going to do better when its sunny, not sure why...

I tied the bottom fly off the butt if the lead also...
Nice job
Thank you
Nice looking fly !
Thanks! Yeah it’s a good one for sure!
Great video straight forward and good teaching!
exelente tecnica tratare de copiarla gracias buen findesemana saludos
Awesome fly, can't wait to tie it... What wt is that butter stick? What the best way to rig it? Thanks

Just found your channel, nice work, already made me a subscriber.
Thanks man, welcome!
I meant “welcome to the channel”. Not like “your welcome”. Haha.
You like that butter stick i see, nice fly
Lol I love the butterstick! Lol. Thanks!
Nice video my friend!👍👍👍Flysofishing
Thanks
I love you
Love your videos. Your discount isn’t working also, FYI. Still bought some stuff
Yeah I no longer work with that company, Dooleys fly fishing and risen fly fishing both currently offer discounts to my subs. Check them out.

@@McFlyAngler Thanks! That pretty much answered my question! I appreciate your prompt reply and helpfulness!
Still message me man, I’d like to chat with you
@@McFlyAngler Sounds good... Is your Instagram account under the same name? I couldn't find it but my internet is being a little weird today...
Yes, McFly angler
What if you don't want use or don't have a bead?
Well technically I don’t think it’s a copper John. But go ahead and tie it without one, personally I think beads are cheap enough to just pick a few up.
