you mentioned this fly to me when I was in Fly Fish Food today so I've got to get a few in my box. Thanks Lance.

Fantastic fly and thanx for showing how simple it is to tie!!

@adamrichley6276 4 жыл бұрын

I tie this with exact fly with lead wrap when I strictly nymphing, but I’ll tie it without the lead wrap and use it as a dropper on a dry dropper rig, both ways work amazing!

Great video and tie Lance - I'll be trying these tonight!

My collar doesnt hold up when fishing so I now use a dubbing loop or split the thread to apply the collar. The UV Pink is especially hard to get to hold on the thread without using the loop/split thread method. After whip finishing you just need to give the collar a little 'haircut' to get rid of the long strands.

I’ve been slaying them on this fly lately in my little tiny local stream.

Absolute killer here on the lower Illinois. Best part of this fly, you do not have to make a CDC collar! Thanks, Lance

Hit a NC grand slam (Brown, Rainbow, Brook) and a 'native' (sucker) on this one today. It's my go to dropper these days. Thanks for the pheasant tail hack BTW.

I love this pattern and love your vids. Still impressed those bear paws can wrap materials around a tiny hook. What other thread/dubbing combinations would you guys tie? I'm gonna tie a bunch and tied 6 of this combo tonight (sz 12, 14). Also, would you ever tie this in a 16 or 18?

Tied these in olive and purple for a trip to Yellowstone. Took four cuts @ 20" with them out of the lower meadow of slough creek today. Thanks.

Killer fly lance. I fish it ALL the time in NZed. Just get Umpqua to make their tie a little more durable.

I really like the hook orientation on this. Seems it would get hung less. I'll have to try this pattern.

@fgr_outdoorsman 4 жыл бұрын

That is correct; jig hooks are designed for the point to ride inverted, causing less hang-ups on the bottom/vegetation.

Lance, Should red thread be used for the Ice Dub UV Pink version? Thanks.

Red works for that one too.

Used this yesterday with a floating liine and long leader on a lake. Worked fine. Do you use it on stillwater as well Lance? I know it would work under an indicator but I am beginning to like slow retrieves with floating line.....And thanks a lot for this pattern. Oh.....and the Intro makes my dog crazy.

You guys should sell a kit of these pre tied in 12s 14s and 16s with the range of beads you would use for optimal weight coverage. Say 20 flies. You would make a killing from us avid fishers but who don't tie yet.

Bought some of these from my local fly shop and they fell apart after just a few fish. Not sure who ties your fly but that shouldn't happen!!

@FlyFishFood 5 жыл бұрын

J D did you use forceps with them? They might also have been tied without a counter rib. Pheasant tail isn’t known to be the most durable material.

@TTT5000 5 жыл бұрын

@@FlyFishFood Thanks for the reply. Yes this is true, PT is usually the first to go, however these flies were unraveling at the half hitch tie off point...and the hot spot with it. No head cement it seems. It looks like Umpqua tied these...maybe a bad batch

@FlyFishFood 5 жыл бұрын

J D frustrating for sure. I’d contact the shop you bought them from to make sure they are Umpqua bugs. There are several knockoffs, but if they are truly Umpqua bugs, they are a top notch company and care a lot about their product. They would want to know
