Great fly, I have several color and bead size variations and I fish them a lot. I used to give my Walt’s a haircut but now I don’t bother and I actually think they fish a little better. I stopped the hot spots on all my flies a few years ago and I know for sure that they are more effective without hotspots.
I switch between these, some midges, prince nymph , and a scud pattern I tie all year and they all catch fish. It's amazing how good this fly is as long as you have it in the right zone it's rare that something won't take it lol love your vids man.
Well done Josh. Pretty much I carry probably a few dozen Walt’s worms that are scattered throughout my many boxes and sone have hot spots abs others don’t. I carry mostly 3.0 beads on the Walt’s but have a few with 2.5 inverting beads and a few with 3.5 and 4mm beads just in case I need that bomb fly.
Hey Josh . I just read your new book which is great btw , congrats ! I noticed you don’t use this hook in your patterns in the book . Which model dry fly hook do you use for the Walt’s ? Thank you .
Thank you, great video. The video seems a bit dark, though, not as easy to see the details as in many others. It's very helpful how you explain your thought process and reasoning.
First I am enjoying reading your book, "Euro Nymphnig". It is concise and very informative. I do have one question though. In the section giving fly patterns (pgs. 74 - 78) are the hooks sizes relative to a Hanak of FullingMill hook? I measured and found that besides the bigger hook gap of the FullingMill 5125, the only difference between the Hanak H450BL and FM5125 is the hook length. So, a Hanak H450BL #14 is essentially equal to a FullingMill FM5125 #16. I'm currently using a FullingMill FM5125. My assumption is that they are relative to FullingMull since you are one of their signature tyers.
Same principle , back in early 90’s in my heyday of steelhead fishing in Erie and Ohio I was tying sz 16 and 18’s pheasant tails and hares ears that I sized down on bigger hooks like10’ s and 12’s. It gave that wider gape to hook those fish and not break. Today there are many more selections of hooks than was back then !
so i know it’s important to have different sizes of the same pattern for different water depths and cfs. instead of changing the hook size you would just use bigger beads?
That was just a simple cut of natural rabbit dubbing. My wife had a few rabbits over the past few years. She would brush huge hairballs of fur from them, so I didn't have any shortage of natural dubbing colors! But, Mostly purchase from Hareline!
Thanks for a new tyer this is perfect.This season im only going to use flies i have tyed myself
best regards from the UK.
Simple and effective. Well done 👍🏼
It doesn’t get any simpler than that. Thank you for sharing!

Just learning. Very helpful
Super video thank you
Which Fulling Mills hook were you using?
My guess is the 5125
I have noticed you use no head cement on most if not all your flies thank you mark
I use this now. I took a weekend course from Josh and 'sasquatch.'. They used this fly exclusively. Works really well.
Thanks!
Nice tutorial with great information regarding hook and bead sizes. What is your favorite olive dubbing?
I like to use the olive with slight brown mixed in!

My man!!

Good stuff buddy
I love Miller Time
Tim!!
Perfect
Thanks for the clear and easily followed tutorial. Could you tell me what hook brand and model you would choose if you didn't want to use a jig hook?
Have to try it👌🙂
Is it essential to always use a jig hook?

Property the slowest josh Miller has ever tied a walts worm
Hahahahaha soooo true!!!
@@TroutYeah What is the Fulling Mill #. They appear to have several that are similar eg. FM5125 and FM5045 both jig wide gap barbless. Thanks.
@@nickweber1255 5125
what model hook is that from Fulling Mill?
great video!
What kind of hook are you using?
What is the number associated with this wide gap hook, my friend?
Doesn't look like much, but it's a guaranteed fish catcher.
It is super simple, getting overlooked often!

Do you like to make your own dubbing blend or do you have a favourite commercial blend
That was from some rabbits my wife had as her pets! But I will usually purchase Hareline Dubbing!
@@TroutYeah Thank you! Keep up the good work with the videos :D

Would you change anything in this fly if using it by itself (not as a dropper)?
Wich dubbing have you used ?
What model jig hook is that?
What size hook and bead do you like best to tie this pattern with?
Mostly #14-16 with 2.5-3.2mm tungsten beads!
Can you give me the number of typ the jighook fulling mill
Josh hold on, need the model # of hook.
John! Its the FM5125!
What is your favorite color bead ?
Hello! I like to use copper and silver for sure. Pink and gold I will use sometimes !
@@TroutYeah thank you
Good demo but your audio needs to be louder.
Very little for the fish to refuse there
Keep it simple!
Audio 🔉 was poor, otherwise good video.
fix your sound ! Nice video but the sound quality sucks.
