mikechell 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2016 HEY DEERHAIRDAN! Your video wasn't crappy. I watched it, I can tie the fly, instructions were fine, mission accomplished dude. Cool fly! You don't need a flashy intro and special effects to tie a fly, and your video proves it. NOTE: By saying this, I am in no way bashing other peoples videos with flashy intros and special effects. They're cool too. Ha ha ... too much talking, flashy intros and special effects are ALL reasons to bash videos. I hate pulling up a tying video and having to listen to a 5 minute speech on why the presenter thinks this pattern is a good one ... blah blah blah. I haven't been able to see yours, yet, Dan. Company network is preventing it. I'll watch it when I get back to the house this afternoon, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Norikane 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2016 ... Hook: Dry fly Thread: Black Tag: Flat gold tinsel Tail: Golden pheasant Tippets Body: Black chenille Wing: White calf tail Hackle: Brown Norm - that's one of my favorite flies. I like to tie it, to fish it, and I think it looks great. I rarely use calf tail anymore, but I make an exception for trudes. I use tons of synthetics on other patterns, but calf tail looks so much better on trude wings. I also think I can see it better on stream. One difference from your tie, I use black dubbing for the body, and yours looks much prettier. I also tie Royal Trudes, Coachman (peacock body) and yellow trudes. I used to tie a size 20 in black without the tail for small winter stoneflies, but I found that a small elk hair caddis worked better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SILKHDH 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Deerhairdan,I don't remember ever seeing an articulate diver head like that. KEY WORD HERE IS REMEMBER. That's pretty sweet. SBPatt, that CDC Green Drake Emerger looks great. I think its the partridge tail that sets it off for me. Man those poor fish. Don't stand a chance any more with some of these ties.
