Did you ever try adding chromatic brush or arctic fox tail into the Lady Amherst section of the forward hackle? The teaser video that OPST released with Jerry tying shows a MUCH heavier hackle in that section. Nice tie! Going to be messing with this a lot
I love the chromatic brushes. I haven't used fox in this fly, but use it in a ton of others. You can use this video as a base, but go hog wild and explore other materials that you like. Options are limitless.
@@theportlandflyshop Thanks! Just trying to analyze the little info thats out there on this fly! I think it’s the coolest looking squid/intruder I’ve seen. Jerry’s proportions and translucent effects he gets on this and the dirty hoh are hard to replicate haha. It looked like there might be some sort of fox in the original OPST video in that section of the loop
@JAL94 there easily could have. I talked to Jerry at length before I did this video and took his recipe at that time, but, he evolves his patterns regularly. What this start as are not the same as they end up. He's always evolving
Hey Brother thanks for the video. Like you were saying about 1 year go I was looking for video on how to tie this fly. Bam now here it is you the man!!!!
Hey man, still diggin your tying. Love this fly. Fly done me well, head water 'bows here in NZ. More olives, browns, and Black but great fly. Jerry did good. On lock-down here, soo why not tie some more. The 'Animals' and 'Sepultura ' keepin my vise bouncin'. Cheers
Here's a question from a semi-new tier: What do you do with all your not terrible but slightly mis-proportioned flies? Toss em? On one hand I'm hesitant to toss something fishable, on the other hand flies are stacking up....
Well, to be honest, I have gallon zip lock bag that's stuffed to the brim of reject flies. Once it gets to where I can't get anymore in, I razor blade the material off and keep the shanks/eyes/cones/etc and tie more flies. I usually only bring flies I'm happy with. If I don't like them, I wont use them anyway, then they just rust in the box
Tied several of these and am now addicted to the composite loop method. So much room for creativity! Thanks for the great vid
freaking awesome video. It's impressive that you can fit that much stuff on a 20mm shank

@@theportlandflyshop Thanks for the reply! It’s such a dope fly. My wallet is about to get a little lighter haha
@JAL94 for sure! Thanks for watching! If we can help in any way, say the word
Beautifully tied! I've wanted to tie this one for a couple of years but could never even find a recipe - now I can!
Sweet fly. Will be trying that out later in shrimp colors.

Awesome tie !
Great video. Now I am obsessed with this fly.
Thanks Gordon!
Nice fly, great job with the composite loops...I'm still working on that. I have to tie in a materials and twist with them around shank
Excellent tutorial and beautiful job on the fly. Looking forward to playing with this or a reasonable facsimile in buggy trouty, colors.
So Dope . thanks for sharing your recipes
Wish they were mine. Riding Jerry French's coat tails on this one.

Nice! Thanks for tuning in! Good Vise tunes are a must. Roots...bloody roots!
Sick fly. You guys should show the Klamath style micro intruders that are sold in the shop.
Next video actually.

Good strimmer💪💪💪Like✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍
I'd hate to lose a fly like that! Such a fishy bug!
Swim that bad boy in the tank.
Hello, I am writing to you from Argentina.
I have a question, what are the dimensions of "Jerry Composite Loop Card"?.
Thank you.
