Looks like something you'd tie after Christmas with all the tinsel leftover Totally going to tie it with the Christmas tinsel that I have leftover from years ago
Very nice rendition of the Rolex. Those Chuck fans know the story of why I call it that. Absolutely deadly pattern and I never leave home without at least one in a box.
@@tightlinevideo LOL. Depends on which story you were told. The number of stories of where that fly came to him to create are great. Most would get your video demonotized.
To make an original yet simple, well-thought out fly is really something. I see many parallels to the clouser, just using more modern materials. I don't have this specific material, but i know I have various strung "flash" products that will get the job done, plus I can experiment. Your videos are unmatched in terms of cinematography and precision of instruction. If I can't be on the river then I'll sit by the vise, keep em coming!
I tie mine even simpler than that. I throw mine on a size 8 jig hook with a 4.0 tungsten bead and whack fish on it. It is also one of my best sellers when it comes to selling them because they work so well
I will be honestly it just looks like and is built identically to a Clouser Minnow but that's not a bad thing. There's a reason that is one of the best flies of all time and also known to have caught just about everything that swims. Any variation of it is probably a good bet but what seems to make this one is the material. I'll have to look out for that Kreelex this is the first I've heard of it but I very much like the look of it.
It is similar to a clouser, but has a much bulkier body than a clouser due to the top and bottom sections only going to just past the hook end. I had the pleasure of having Chuck teach me how to tie the fly. He is a legend in Virginia and knew his stuff.
I knitted a crazy fly Charlie took it made a tail from a marabou and a collar from a micromarabou but I made a long wing from uni axell and caught a pike
Now that's shiny! I've never done well with "tinsel flies" - too much flash get some follows and pecks but never a solid take. Maybe it's time to give them another try but I'd have to put some taper in the wing and tail - those squared of fibers just don't seem "right". So where does it stand? From a "go-to" to a "try when nothing is working" fly, could someone rate this pattern for me? It kinda looks like a "reaction strike" fly that needs to be fished fast. Any suggestions?
Nice profile for you. But clean and even is the way to go with Kreinik. more exaggerated action when you strip. Watch Chuck Kraft tie it , he gives a few reasons why.

I am about to start a fly business and your advice helped me tie good flies

I am a huge fan of Mr. Kraft's work. The Rolex/Kreelex story was just a bit too long to include in the video.

That 4th's method is brilliant. Thanks Tim.
My favorite part of the video...The 4th's wrap. So many tips like this from this channel.
Another excellent video. I’m glad to see your subscribers growing. You def deserve it.

Nice, simple pattern. Always enjoy your tying videos and learn a lot from them. Thanks.
Kreelex catches everything! I even caught a catfish on a black Kreelex. (The smoke color Kreelex Flash)
I tie mine even simpler than that. I throw mine on a size 8 jig hook with a 4.0 tungsten bead and whack fish on it. It is also one of my best sellers when it comes to selling them because they work so well
Love it! Going to do a few now.
Fishing Yellowstone NP all week I’ll look for a couple of these at the local fly shops.
Good stuff

Clean and even/squared off is the way to go with Kreinik. More exaggerated action when you strip. Watch Chuck Kraft tie it. Gives many reasons why.
I’ve been watching your videos for years now, thanks for all the great tips! You could read the phone book, and get a like from me👍🏼
😍😍😍
Killer!!
Clouser?
Not everything with dumbbell eyes is a Clouser minnow.
Great pattern, but I find it absurd to not feather/taper the ends. It has a much nicer profile that way
Nice profile for you. But clean and even is the way to go with Kreinik. more exaggerated action when you strip. Watch Chuck Kraft tie it , he gives a few reasons why.
И я тогда не знал что эта мушка так называется то есть это был мой вариант из 3 мух в одной
Finally first
Congratulations 🥇
Congratulations nobody asked you
