I have to admit, there's something special about watching someone tie a famous pattern that they crested. I'd love to see more videos from you.
My hope is to get a lot more content on the channel this year.
I wanted to thank you. I've tied a variety of floating a popper types using craft foam in a variety of colors.
But none are as fast, as easy or as fun to tie as the one you showed us. Since watching your video I have tied at least a dozen in yellows, greens, pink/white. Some simple, some more complex with some ice dubbing at the rear of the foam.
All look to me like they are perfect for panfish in general and nice big fat bull bluegills in particular.
Bless you!
You are very welcome!
What a great pattern!!! Great to see how the master ties his creation.
Nice looking fly and excellent presentation. Thank you
Thanks Sal!
Excellent video, Bart. And a fantastic pattern. Well done with very helpful commentary!
Thanks Pat!
Very cool and very simple. Love it
Thanks Bart, I like to fish for Sunnyies sometimes but was concerned about getting the hook out. Your fly makes that a nonissue, so now I can fish for Sunnyies without worry.
Nice bug Bart. Matt over at Savage Flies introduced me to this fly, It's nice to see it tied by the inventor. Keep the good stuff coming.
If I might make a suggestion, make more instructional videos of how you tie your nymph flies. I like to fish for big Bluegill, and in the Summer, they are out in deeper water, so I have to use flies that will get down where they are. I am always looking for new patterns, and improvements to existing patterns, to try. I tie almost all of my flies for Bluegill but can always learn something new. Thanks for the video, hope you put out more in the future.
I discovered these hooks sold by Mr. Crappie at Walmart. They are referred to as cam-action hooks.
Very nice and simple fly.
Being as the hook you are using is no longer in production, maybe you can first run your thread base, then take some 12 pound monofilament line and tie it cross ways on the hook shank, like tying on some bead eyes, leaving an eighth or quarter of an inch sticking out on both sides. Maybe add a drop of glue to lock it down solid. That would stop the rotation of the flat foam.
Your viewers can use a cricket hook and some round nose pliers to add the "kink" to the hook shank.
It's a DIY solution I've put to work for this and other flies that benefit from a kink.
I've also added a small glass bead just behind the eye" secured with thread.
This gives the front of the body something to glue to.

I would be afraid of weakening the hook. Some modern hooks are fairly brittle and putting that type of bend into it may be asking too much. I assume these "cricket hooks" are a long shank Aberdeen style hook? I really questioned whether or not to include that hook in the video. I tied them for many years in standard hooks with no issues. UV resin fixes any potential problems!
@@panfishonthefly cricket hooks have the same bend of an Aberdeen, but the shank is longer and the wire is not as thick. Its not at all brittle, though; rather forgiving, really. But I dont stress it with a severe kink - just enough to get a platform on it.
I've never had one break, and I use them a lot for other flies like my Long Dragon. For brim and other panfish its no worry.
I also use Aberdeens often.
Maybe someday Ill get some UV resin, but for now, well....
Some 12, or 15 pound mono tied cross ways on the hook shank, just like you would tie some chain eyes onto a hook, and trimmed to either 1/8 in. or 1/4 in. on both sides would keep the foam body from rotating. Maybe a drop of glue to lock it all down solid.
Great fly. Can't wait to get that foam cutter. BTW i like that material holder on the top of your vise. Where can I get one?
Foam cutters should be in my hands soon! The magnetic material clip is a new design from Regal Vise. I would try one of their dealers.
I love this bug. Are the hooks back in production? I bought the kit with cutter a year or so ago. I noticed the hooks available on your website a few days ago and bought 100. Thanks so much for the speedy shipping. I’ve got enough bugs tied for an entire Oregon summer. Cheers.
This thing looks deadly. I plan to fish this fly on Prospect Park Lake among others this year. I got the cuter in the fall. How does this work on a trout stream? , maybe teamed up with a nymph dropper?
Nice snd not over done.
Is the cutter available? Or was it a "one-off" custom make just for you?
If it is possible to get, can you give us the info or link?
Thank you.

I tied this fly yesterday but I put two black pin on as eyes .
Hey Bart, great stuff! Where'd you get that cool applicator for the Bone Dry?
I have them in the shop. Includes the metal-tipped applicator. www.panfishonthefly.com/fly-tying-materials/solarez-bone-dry-plus-uv-resin
What is a good hook to use when tying it?
Can I use foam from hobby lobby?
Craft store foam will work just fine
@@bartlombardo thank you
