You mentioned tying with different wire colors. Have you noticed any consistency in a color or colors being more effective, & when doing a tying session, do you tie using a number of colors so you have some of each in your fly box? When I started fly fishing & tying, there were only copper, silver & gold. Now, oh my. Since I can no longer fish & now tie to donate, I can’t systematically test them myself.
I do carry different colors. It can depend on the time of year and conditions. The one that I have found that can be a game changer is chartreuse. I think they may take it as a Caddis emerger.
@@ShortyOnTheFly Thanks. I bet Lefty Kreh would have agreed. To paraphrase him: “Without chartreuse, it ain’t no use.” I will definitely tie a bunch with chartreuse wire.

I've been on a wet fly/ soft hackle kick recently and this was the best video I could've found. Certainly, an easy yet effective tie, thanks Shorty!
Glad you liked it!
Great video on a great pattern. I also tie it with a bead when I nymph it more than swinging.
Yep, that would definitely work.
Thank you Shorty 🙏
Thanks for watching.
Another wonderful video . Cheers to you!
Keep up the good videos
Thanks, will do!
Keep up the videos
did you use a whiting hen cape or hen saddle? solid fly, thanks!!
Whiting Brahma Hen. Very similar to Hungarian Partridge but they come in a variety of colors and are much easier to work with. Hope that is helpful.

First, yay, nice work Shorty
Congrats. Thanks.
Lovely fly.
Don't tell anyone about this.
Nah. They don't work anyway. ;-)
