"...the fish doesn't think, 'cause the fish knows it all."
Nice tie. Tied up a few, then threw on a pink bead on and called it the Avon Lady : )
Daddy like!
Fly choice of Zaddies everywhere
👍thanks
Love the guide fly patterns, quick and dirty with results! Thanks man.
I didn’t even feel like watching a another fly tying video. But you seem so cool. So I did. And I’m glad I did. Have a great day.
Appreciate it !
Kinda looks like the berdo. Great video
Thanks for pattern. It was my best fly on the less than pristine water of the Chama. I omitted the wing and it worked fine. Game changer for dirty water!
Happy it worked ! An absolutely chama killer .
Nice tie. Now that Bear Creek in town is starting to rise and change color this should be the ticket! I like to say that even tho fish have pea-size brains, they sure get the most out of 'em!
Nice! They work well here in MI!
finally the white beads arrived ... one milkman ready for testing in New Zealand
Let me know !
@@AboutTrout the milkman delivered 😁
Lost them both quite quickly will have to make some more
Caught a 7.5 pound rainbow today on the milkman 🙂 easily my biggest for the year
Good looking fly and simple tie, my favorite kind! Good job
Top producer for sure. Eric Kelley killed it on this pattern .
I really like theese guide fly videos
Nice pattern 👍🏼. Thanks
Man thats milky...... good job bud. Ill try some
Tie a fly made of regular household materials. The "Beardo" was hilarious, now make one from something found in your garage or from the kitchen? Then I foresee a fishing challenge with your new flies. Feel free to challenge others...like @Huge Fly Fisherman and see who's fly is better!
I may do a beardo fly challenge give away thing haha
AboutTrout you should do a craft store challenge. You get everything except hook and thread and bead for the fly
Nice tie. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I recommend trying a pink squirrel if you haven't already. Another simple and quick tie that produces time and time again. I don't think there is a fly box that doesn't have a few of them here in the driftless.

@@AboutTrout what is the right size thread for tying flies . I have same d54 it comes on a wooden spool it seems kind of thin
Looks easy and effective!
Provo river fish wont eat it if its a size 16 or larger, if there are 14 fibers on one side and 15 on the other, and if its not fished on 10x tippet...I hate this river...
That was sweet man. Maybe do some guide streamers next. Love me some guide flies.
Duly noted !
CHEERIO!
What’s your go to hares ear dubbing? Looking for a black color but options seem limited. Sick tie btw!
Wapsi Natural Fur is what I typically use
I tied one like this and caught 2 yesterday
It’s a great producer! Glad it worked for you!
Do you ever lose dropper flies when fishing a barbless anchor?
I always thought that hoppers should have barbs so the dropper doesn’t slide off, but in theory it shouldn’t matter if there is tension on the line, as the line would stay in the bend of the hook. I am just concerned that a nymph would come off behind another barbless nymph.
I rig off tags when nymphing so it’s not an issue . You’ll be good with a clinch to the bend of a barbless hopper . Hope that helps .
@@AboutTrout I’m just going to tie in tippet rings on flies with some intruder wire, that way the really big rainbows will bite
Great video! Just started tying and am struggling with getting the proportions right. Any suggestions for building a nice tapered body?
Roll the dubbing tighter in the beginning and gradually loosen it . Should give you a better taper
Thank you for cool video
Are there any other dirty water patterns you recommend ?
I like stuff with pops of color but also the “quilldagon” has been a good dirty water fly. Generally though your favorite patterns with a white or FL. Orange bead.
Thank you
Can you tie this on a 9x long 0/4 sz streamer hook ??? 😂 no realy I don’t have any tying hooks...😔
10x 5/0 is the way
What section of the Chama are you throwing those??
Abiquiu/El Vado mainly . It’s also a great springtime Rio fly
@@AboutTrout would you sell any of them. I fish the Chama at Coopers, or a couple miles back from the dam by Abiquiu. I just recently started fishing the Rio over by John Dunn or on the lower level by Pilar. The guys at Reel Life and Taos fly shop got me a few patterns to throw. I’d like to try these out too especially in Jemez. I’ve been fishing that and it’s doing producing a lot of fish. Didn’t realize below the day area holds a large amount of fish.
I don’t sell any flies , but the “milk man” is a FullingMill pattern . Any FullingMill dealer should be able to get it for you.
@@AboutTrout I found two of them in my fly box. I had picked up 2 dozen flies from Red River Angler a couple weeks ago. I tried them out today in the Jemez. Sweet fly for sure
What cameras do you use for your fly tying videos? Gopros for stream side?
iPhone/ Go Pro
@@AboutTrout It does a great job for you. If you tied ten, how many will have the india hen and how many do you just skip that step? Which company do you use for your white beads?
What fly box do you use for your nymphs?
Just got my hands on FullingMills new tactical max box which I love. Currently my guide boxes are from new phase .
Serious question, does it ride hook point up or down?
Up
@@AboutTrout So, should the flash be on the other side of the hook?
Where does one find unicorn mane?
On the peak of Mount Olympus
Is that your pony in the background?
You mean Mr Trottsworth?? Yes Mr. Trottsworth is my pony.
Yes, I gave it to him for his birthday last year.
So hot right now. Stay thiqqqq
