I’m In Texas and the primary fish here for me are bass. Love this fly...it’s HUGE and I want to catch Huge bass! You can bet your Last Beer that I’ll be tying these up..today! 👍👍 Thanks Ben. Have a Huge week! 🎣
I fish a shallow lake with lots of boulders and sunken logs along the shore where big brown and tiger trout hang out. They’re looking for a big meal, frog, mouse or large terrestrial. I’m going to give this a shot. Looks good to me Ben. Thanks for the informative video.
So true. They react. Their intellect does not to be caressed. I do not see fly rods on the bass pro tour. Its fun to catch fish on a fly rod but I use what works. That being said I will try to catch small mouth on a fly rod this summer but probably not large mouth.
@@johnmccormack7360 you are missing out. Top water bass fishing is as good as dry flies for trout. The only reason there are no fly rods in the bass tour is because you can't cross their eyes and slam dunk 'em in the boat with a fly rod.
@@tinoyb9294 I've caught plenty of largemouth in my life with top lures and exciting it is for sure. I just don't see a need to change that where as I've had much more success trout fishing with a fly rod. I'm glad I made that change. But that's just me, not saying you should do what I do. If you're catching them and having fun, more power to you!
Time to find a punch to make some foam discs. Awesome fly! I'm definitely going to make a couple and give them a try, as soon as my current set of poppers is done.
Thanks, Ben, for another enjoyable video. I've been looking for this pattern ever since you talked about it. Because of the lockdown, my fly tying gear is still out. So, I've got that going for me... Stay Huge!
This maybe totally unrelated but I had a fly fishing epiphany a few days ago. When the fish start hitting your indicator, it might be time to switch to dry flies. Stay Huge
Huge Fly Fisherman I tried it and it seems like it dives a bit deeper witch could be a good thing. I was using a normal one today I tried last night and was just out right slaying the bass . I work at bass pro and I always wonder how to tie this pattern thanks for the video your content is awesome
Hey Ben do you know where I can buy the fly your tying in the video? Not a tie guy. Also have no idea where you can get the Z Land cap. Can you share? Great advice about streamer fishing during the runoff on another great video. Huge fan. Appreciate your advice. PK
This tie flying video pairs well with a SN BIG Little Thing IPA... I cant decide if I want to call this fly the HBD Humming Bird Down or the Pull Tab...mmmmm beer.
Its been a jail-able offense to go fishing in my country since March 23. The government might allow us to go fishing in June. I've been tie flying for nearly 2 months. Also, alcohol, cigarettes and takeout have been illegal for just as long. So I've been grumpy tie flying.
Thanks for the shout out bro!
🤘🤘🤘that is a cool fly.

Thanks Ben for sharing this pattern. Glad it rained.
"Bass do not know geometry" is the real take away on this one folks.

This is an awesome fly tying video. Totally entertained
Thanks, Ben. I tied this pattern and tested it out for the first time today. I nailed a 19” smallmouth, and missed two other tanks!!

Theese look great. I cant wait to tie some up and try em out
Best fly fishing channel semi large fly fishing
Eyes add +10 attract and + 5 speed to the fly. #science
AboutTrout and +2.5 catch boost
Great video Ben! Loved it
can't wait to fly those ties.
Love your channel it's gotten me into the sport I'm still Look like a wizard trying to cast a spell when I cast but im starting to catch fish.

I like it. 👍🏼 Enough said. Thanks
Always a one-liner that makes me chuckle every video. "Bass do not know geometry." got me this time. Maybe it's because I'm a math teacher.
What's that saying? Oh yeah..."If it ain't chartreuse, it ain't no use."
Thanks Ben! I’ve been looking for a better topwater pattern and this one will suffice
Gonna pick up my first bass fly rod when my shop opens so I can try it out.
You should do another fishing trip video

Great fly,thanks
In the beginning you said .....flying ties....I never saw a single tie flown in your explanation here. But it is all good brutha.👊👊👊
Many thanks Ben
so... its a Sneaky Duck with eyelash yarn between the foam disc layers.
Thats a neat touch.
Have you tried tying this with the hook oriented up? Maybe with a light weight under it.
Tappered right it could be interesting for danish trout at night time. Thank You.
What did you use for pattern to cut your foam disk?
I made an outline with a hair stacker, then cut them out with scissors.
Thanks, I never thought of that. Love the fly.
Gamakakakakatsu hahaha finally someone said it!
"You already know this is a tie flying video." 🙂
Awesome video
Thanks for *not* saying gamaGatsu like so many southerners say.
thanks, looks good.
Do you think it would work on a big jig hook? it is all I have left in that size.
Only one way to find out!

Two words. Googly eyes.

The fly used to be available at Bass Pro, not sure if it still is. Zland hats are here:

What caliber are the foam disks. Oh, and “Ditch pickles are for glitter boats”.
2mm
I was asking about the bullet casing looking cutter. .45 or so? Cool fly, love your videos.
@@markallenbell3868 It's a hair stacker not a bullet casing
Want to try bass on a fly rod. Would a 9' 5wt suffice to start or should I look toward something heavier?
7 or 8 is better.
@@HugeFlyFisherman 5wt works okay for lighter flies but yeah 7/8wt is better for bigger bass

TRy them on trout, they work! Especially at night!
Good morning
All tie flying videos need reggae.

? link for your friend Alvin and his popper.
It’s at 1:30
"Tie Flying Video" why do i also always unironically do this?
No tail lift on any of those pictures of the bass. Sad.
Bold of you to assume I can read
It’s a tie flying video? Lol.
coulda done less with the glitz and ego and more on the fly tying.
