- By far my most effective fly for swinging for trout and salmon. This is a super easy fly to tie and very easy to cast with a spey, switch or single handed fly rod. Dave's Panic Button can be tied in a variety of colors and sizes - below you'll find the complete tying recipe. th-cam.com/users/subscription_...
"If I could only use one fly the rest of my guiding and fishing career, this would hands-down be the one." - David Lisi, Owner & Head Guide, Cooper Landing Fishing Guide
Originally called the J.R. Schmolty, this updated version, now called "Dave's Panic Button," has been featured in a variety of fly fishing magazines and fly tying articles.
I use this fly almost exclusively when guiding for trophy rainbow trout on the Kenai River with my clients and it is just about the only fly you'll see me using when I am out fishing on my own.

Thank you all so much for checking out this tutorial! It is truly one of my favorite flies for swinging for trout and the occasional salmon. I hope it brings you as much success as it has me!
love that piper cleaner trick! Great tie thank you
Sure thing! I can't remember where I first saw it, but yep, it's super helpful!
Thank you for the fly tying tutorial
I love your videos. Finally a tier who uses simple materials and techniques. I am a Canuck who fishes the great lakes tribs on our side. Your patterns are super effective here!
That is so awesome to read Joe! I really appreciate the kind words and definitely thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for posting these videos. They are very well done. I tied a handful of these in olive (what I had on hand) and fished it yesterday ... the fish were all over it!
That is so so awesome! I am glad they work for you! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words :)
Beautiful tie by an excellent teacher!
Thank you so much Rich! That means a lot!
Gidday, very nice work and great tips. Thankyou.
Nice, VERY NICE!!! Thanks Dave!
Thank you Hank! This one is my all-time favorite fly :)
Thanks very much for this lovely looking fly!, This morning I was inspired to go and tie a few wannabes... will fish them tomorrow; hope the trout like them as much as I do ;-)
Thank you Dominic for watching and for such kind words! I am excited to hear how they fish for you! Hopefully the trout gobble them up :)
Excellent video and a perfect fly for the Tongariro River down under in NZ. Thanks.
Thank you so much John! I really appreciate the kind words and definitely let me know how it fishes for you!
Nice pattern! Always appreciate spey flies that aren't overly complicated or using crazy materials. Super practical and seems really fishy. Will definitely tie up a few of these for winter. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! It's a great one :)
Killer tie!
Thank you so much! That really means a lot!
Nice , simple tie .
Thanks
Thank you Mike!!
Not my version but I thought I would share this variation!
20mm opst intruder shank
Size 6 opst swing hook
Medium silver bead chain eyes
From the rear to the front....
Copper polar chenille
Mallard flank
Olive barred marabou
Olive sili legs
Dark olive rabbit in a dubbing loop
This will be fantastic for our great lakes steelhead, right size with right amount of wiggle.
Definitely let me know how it works for you Lorne!
Great looking bug😎
Thank you Dan! It's definitely my favorite fly!
Awesome tie.
Thank you so much Rick!
Awesome, thanks tons for the techniques, saweet lookin
Awesome! I'm glad you like it! I use this one every day and it is by far my most productive. I hope it works for you as well!
My friend tied me a few flies that look just like this when I got my trout swing setup. Still in use even though they are ragged, the profile produces!
For sure! It is definitely a producer!
Nice
Excellent looking fly. I’m hucking bugs on a trout spey rod in Colorado. One of the few... :) I’m going to give this one a go in several colors. Thanks for sharing this pattern. Make it a great day.
That's awesome James! Definitely let me know hoe these work for you!
What weight rods are you using in Alaska for trout? Seems a 5116, 5126 or 6 in the same sizes might be a good trout rod with enough backbone for the incidental hookups of larger species. I find it hard to believe you’d use 2-4. Maybe a 4....I guess.
@@jkdurden Mostly using a 13' 7wt, but 12' 6wts do really well. Some streams you could get away with 4 and 5 wt switch rods though. Of course there are lots of salmon around that can definitely be quite a challenge on smaller rods.
Thanks for the insight. I’d probably bring 5-8 if I come up again. Last time I was on the Kenai, I wasn’t a fly fisherman. I brought only a Camera. #FAIL. :-) Next time will be different....
@@jkdurden Next time you'll definitely have to swing some flies up here :)
Great tie! Been looking for something simple and effective here on the Snake River. Appreciate sharing this fly. Commence the tying!
Thank you Tyler! By far my favorite up here in AK for trout :)
@@CooperLandingFishingGuide tied a couple up with a #3 OPST swing hook in colors we use here on the Upper Snake. Great Pattern!
@@tylerdooley4783 Thanks man! Love those hooks! Can't wait to see how they do for you!
Have you tried to use a length of led ( or led-free ) wire along the bottom to weigh them "more evenly"?? One could also have more towards the head for jiggy action etc. Just a thing that popped inti my hyperactive head while watching your vids. Greetings from Iceland M8!!
That's not a bad idea actually :). I'll definitely try that for sure!
I tie a fly that is very similar and it's an absolute staple in my box. Incredibly effective! Out of curiosity, why did you land on hook point down?
Love those dumbell eyes. Can you share the make and model of them? Never seen a match before
Thank you so much for watching! I believe these are the Spirit River Real Eyes Plus.. not sure the size though.
Great fly, what thread and size of eyes did you run ?
Thank you 🎣
Great question! I usually run 6/0 uni thread and the eyes are spirit river eyes, but I don't recall the size sadly. Thank you so much for watching though!
very nice fishing pattern !!! I would like to know if you tried it in lakes, and how do you fish in lakes? thank you!!!
I sure have! It does really well in lakes, especially with dumbell eyes. It sort of has a jigging motion. I've used it with full sink lines and floating lines as well. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! I hope it does really well for you!
@@CooperLandingFishingGuide Thank you very much for the quick answer!! very kind thank you
@@guillermofunez9107 Absolutely! I really appreciate the support :)
Do you think that this would fish well on the Missouri River / Montana in November? I’m thinking it would in a micro sz?
Oh yes! It sure would! Try some in this size and a bit smaller and let me know how they do for you :)
I wonder how it would do with a deer hair DnD style head.
I think it would do awesome :)
Do you have any examples of a steelhead variant?
I do! I'll definitely do a video for one :)
Do you use that same UV polar chenille Copper color for the white version?
Hey Jake! I do use a lot of the copper and copper/black polar cheniles in most of my flies, but you can definitely play around with many different color combos :) Thank you so much for watching!
@@CooperLandingFishingGuide Thanks! I’m tying up a bunch of stuff this winter for a fly in/float out on the north slope of the brooks for trophy Dolly.
@@JAL94 That sounds like an awesome trip for sure man! I'm jealous :)
I think it’s a sculpin
