Beautiful tie Matt. nice to see measurements laid out & using scissors like calipers. like Bugs Bunny, I often miss the turn at Albuquerque when fixing the wings. Tim, here's a post - super bowl twisted thought, baby monkey puppy fly. I'm sure you could turn that into a funny video. great production as always, thank you.
I know! Matt's fly gorgeous! B,m,p commercial I couldn't figure out first time. third time was LOL! a little edgy, but it got attention. I would've picked a Lab puppy. just thought it would be fun like put a ring on it with the bondic video that we both thought of. guess I'm more twisted minded than you thought. you're talented enough to pull it off. however, I don't remember what ad was for, other than 3 favorite things in 1. like three flies in one, nymph, emerger, dun. not Matt's tie make one up. capeish?
Very nice fly. I can tie a good pair of wings and get the hackles correct, I usually protect the body with at least superglue on the shank so it lasts more than one fish. I can never seem to leave that much space at the eye though. Thanks for sharing. I love to tie small drys best, but since I can't fish them now, I am saving the hackle for when I can. Most of my friends just want wet flies. Maine has a long tradition of fishing feather streamers which are difficult to tie but worth the effort. All the best, Sean
Another great video full of great nerve and time saving tips. Back in the day, we used Blue Jay's wing, (now cdc) for small duns on Bosnian chalk streams. Worked well, great pigment match with real dun wings, and greatest of all one bit from one Jay's wing worked well. Here's an example: www.musicar.rs/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/slika-br.13-drugi-put-web.jpg
i assume any, it looks to me like it is more of an impressionistic fly than an immitative. if i ever went to the trouble of tying one, i dont think i would hesitate to throw it anywhere there are mayflies and/or mosquitos, which is just about everywhere.
That's a great fly, but, unfortunately, way too involved for my meagre tying skills...I struggle with a Mop-n-glo! Goodness knows how they tied these 200 years ago before the advent of tying vices.

+Joe Duca That thing freaked me out, not Matt's fly, the baby monkey puppy thing.

+tightlinevideo all kidding aside, best tutorial I've seen on tying that wing & style! thank you!
Top Notch Mr Grobert!

Beautiful and simple. My kind of fly. Well done.
Matt Grobert is without a doubt the finest tyer there is. Bar None.
👍🏻 Nice tie!
Fantastic 👍
Thank you!
I could only hope to one day tie a Catskill remotely close to how well this one was done.
cool

@@coloradoflyguy5044 I know I'm late to the party, but I would trade the mop fly for the birds nest or copper john

what location does that fly mainly work at?

what's the difference between this and the blue quill
Phillip De Young
Dun (blue quill) vs ginger hackle I believe.
That's a great fly, but, unfortunately, way too involved for my meagre tying skills...I struggle with a Mop-n-glo! Goodness knows how they tied these 200 years ago before the advent of tying vices.

You said, "Wonky"
+troutbum61 Yes, I did. I was torn by that and cattywampus.
+tightlinevideo Wonky was perfect. Thanks for another great video.
