How to Tie the Gandy Dancer Musky Fly

- This is the fastest, easiest, and one of the best musky flies to tie. This fly was developed to stall sideways on the water on each strip, have a long slender profile, be incredibly easy to cast, and can be tied with only 3 materials; Feathers, bucktail, and flash. Although a few extra materials makes this fly really awesome.
Material List:
Great northern bucktail
Schlappen or bugger hackle feathers - the longer the better
flash - my preference is lateral scale
4/0-6/0 hooks any brand
Articulation shanks - 40mm for a 10"-12" fly or longer for 12"+
140 denier GSP Thread is my preference but you could use any
10mm fish skull mask
matching 10mm eyes or doll eyes
UV curing epoxy
30lbs bite wire or equivalent beadalon wire for the articulation
2 brass beads for the articulation (could use glass also)
Thank you for spending all that time to show us , much appreciated , just starting out tying my own and want a large but LIGHT WEIGHT fly as only be using 9 to 10 weight line and rod , thanks again , all the best wishes , David .
Thank you for the instructions. I'm going muskie fishing next month and looking at patterns. I'm also planning on the Buford.
Awesome! where are you headed? Bufords work well also. I fish quite a few of those as well.
@isaacness I'm researching a couple places & haven't decided yet. But it'll be one of Pomme De Terre State Park, Hazel Creek Lake, Henry Sever Lake, Fellows Lake, or August A. Busch Conservation Area.
Let me know how it goes for you and what you think of the pattern once you fish it!
@@isaacness Will do. Thank you.
I am going to tie thus up tonight cant wait to use it with pike and musky and good video new sub cant wait to watch more
Thanks man! hope you like it, these have worked great for me and i've caught countless pike and roughly a dozen musky on them
Nice tly looks great
Thanks 👍
Nice fly and great demo. I’m adding this pattern to my tying list. Simple is good.
Glad you like it!
Awesome fly buddy! Watched this for the first time yesterday and had to tie one up last night it came out great. Tested this morning The swim and action on the pause is unreal tons of movement at rest in the current as well Cheers
Glad that you like it! Hope its able to put some fish in the boat for you.
Loved watching your Musky fly. Can you share with me your fly line, leader, bite section and weight rod you need. I have a large arbor Lamson reel I’m hoping the reel will hold up with a musky.
Hey Joe, I use a 3ips sink tip tine for the rivers I fish. My leader is 3-4' of 40lbs mono followed by about 2' of 20lbs mono, then I use a 12" section of 40lbs tie-able bite wire with a permanent Mustad fastach size #4 to easily clip flies on and off without constantly retying the wire. For a rod I personally us a G Loomis NRX 9wt with a Lamson Litespeed reel.
Musky are big and strong but usually won't force you to use much of your drag so the reel you use shouldn't really matter. Hope this helps!
@@isaacness Thank you much for the information and Happy New Year.
