This is absolutely fantastic ! SO easy and is a great alternative to a worm fly for fly fishing..Excellent job brother

Really well done Ryan. Thanks for sharing.

Such an awesome fly. Great job!

Nice job, Ryan. I learned a lot from watching you. I especially liked the way you furled the tail. Using the vise to creat the marabou tail was new to me also. Well done.

That look's like a killer fly around here. Nice job!

nice fly. We use purple jigs for black bass here in WV. I'm really wanting to try my hand at fly fishing for the skittish bastards though. Since there aren't a great deal of fishing supply stores here, I'm tying my own flies. This was a great help. Thanks a heap.

This is brilliant, definitely going to tie and fish this. Thanks and keep the videos coming. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Fun tie! And a good producer of fish in South African waters...

i am going to have to try that. Thanks for sharing

looks like an awesome fly. loved the fake accent too!

I've tied alot of different flies like this, I'd use a hook with a larger gap for these.

Nice one Hans, thanks for sharing. Will tie this guy up and use it this coming year/let you know how it goes. A couple of questions--Have you tried to tie this fly in other colors? Have you ever tried to glue a small piece of foam near the end of the tail, to help it wiggle in the water? Thanks for sharing, nice channel you got on youtube :)

Could you do these in HD also? Love the warmwater patterns. Do you have any for smallmouth, white bass,walleye, pike, and muskie? Not sure whats around there.

Great fly what's the biggest fish u caught on it

lol nice accent. I'll try this for sure

Nice

Not too many actually. I have watched largemouth eat this fly and they suck the whole thing in. They usually take it on the pause between strips.

If ye don't like to hear sniffles, use yer volume button. It don't bother us Learners.

+Hans Stephenson what Materials did you use?

can you post a list of the materials please thank you

It is estaz. That seems to work best

tied this with bead eyes and on a sixe 8 hook and killed the crappie and gills

How do you strip it?

What is the Purple material called?

Would this work in pink?

Nice fly going to make some weed less ones today thanks !

That's just too easy! Don't worry, the best tiers on you tube have some kind of an accent (except Hans).

is that purple shit just chenille??

I'd recommend that you forego making videos with the sniffles. No one appreciates that in their ears. Otherwise, great fly.
