Wow this video really speaks to how good a fly tier Mike Mercer is. Charlie, appreciate the humility. Great to know you're a mere mortal from time to time after binge watching your videos. Please keep up the great work!!

Nice job Charlie. That sure is a lot going on at the front of that fly. Thanks for the video

It’s very effective even if you omit the hackle….. and a cinch to tie. I prefer it without the hackle, especially on slower water…..

Very cool fly but if Charlie says it’s tough I haven’t got a chance!

Lefty, that explains why my ocd is triggered watching you tie everything backwards 🤠

I find the cleanest way of tying the hackle is to wrap four turns up the hair, then just wiggle the stem down through the wrapped fibers and secure it directly to the shank. Or just say the heck with parachutes and tie a collar-style hackle with a three turns behind the wing and a couple on the wing tie-in point, then clip a notch in the hackle fibers underneath the shank so the fly still rides flush.

Charlie, you tie it a lot different from the originator. Mercer coats the body with UV resin, he wants it to break the surface film and he ties the wing a lot different too. Kinda neat to watch two masters using varying tying techniques to emulate different bug hatching attributes. I like your wing tie in method to tie in smaller sizes.

Charlie, I’ve seen some where the wrap back over the front of the spent wing and even angle them slightly down. Any thoughts there?

Charlie, can you comment on when to use Cow Elk, vs, Bull Elk, vs Yearling Elk? Thanks!!

@algoetz5952 Жыл бұрын

Thanks Charlie. Why Zelon instead of polypropylene that you used on the Fat Angie and Lucky B?

mixology of a few different flies, rookie question for ya Charlie - Cow elk a softer hair, and the reasoning behind using it here?

Wait! Is this the Mike Mercer who works at The Fly Shop in Redding, CA?

I believe so. Hat Creek is a great bit of water to fish too even if it's California.
