Very nice and simplistic looking fly. I was happy when you mentioned it having a mini-streamer resemblance. That was the very first thing that came to my mind when I seen it. Great video Matt. I’m slowly working my way through your channel play list. Another series completed. Thank you Sir.
Oh yeah. If I'm tying a bunch of these for my fly box, and I get the material ready ahead of time, I can knock them out in 3-4 minutes each. And if I'm not talking to myself on camera. 😁
i enjoy the look and effectiveness of the splayed hackle tip wings, especially the grizzly. The bass in NY love to eat crane flies and that style makes a great imitation.
Oh yeah! My problem with crane and dragon flies when using hackle tips for the wings is that when wet they always stick to the sides of the body. I've tied a couple of beautiful crane flies that are only beautiful when they're dry!
That's a Cool little fly Sir Matt. A question for you sir, grizzly hackle for sizes 12 - 20 what is better a cape or saddle and what quality. Which will give you quality and more for your money sir. I'm kinda stuck and don't know what to get I could use your help. Thank you Sir Matt as always You and your Channel are simply AWESOME..😁
Nice Fly Matt, you make it look easy. Mine keep getting a little better learning. One question every time you cut the excess can you use it for other flies. Thank Keep it Tying.
Love simplicity. We often dress up the flies to suit ourselves and not the fish. KISS is what my daddy always told me 😉
You're absolutely right! Why would a fish ever eat a zebra midge?? There's nothing to it! But the work. 😁

Great stone fly.
This is the last one in the Dave Hughes series for me
Sounds like this one is a good one for beginners!

Too true.
Another great simple but effective fly, thanks! (Catching up on some of the earlier videos I haven't seen yet.)
Wow Garrett-- you're going way back! I appreciate it my friend. :-)

Pablo, absolutely! With good dry fly hackle, you can often get 2-3 flies out of each feather.

Steve- I got it on Amazon. amzn.to/2IifBLk Thanks for watching!
