This was a fun tie inspired by Stan Mackerwicz; you can find his Facebook page here ( / 100002962767980 ) and even buy a few! While this one is a little over the top to fish, it was a blast to tie and will look great in my tying room! Also, thank you all for following along over the last few years! Never did I think a fly tying channel would have so much interest, yet here we are! Best of luck in the giveaway; I’ll be drawing it in a few weeks, and as always, I’ll see you in the next one with some more practical fly patterns!
Best,
Jesse R.

Edit- After a CRAZY amount of requests this fly is now for sale. If you want one you can reach out to me here (mainelyoutdoors18@gamil.com) they are not cheap as they take a lot of time and materials to create. Also as a note it's intended for art because the halos will fall off after a few fish and the hard fins are likely to cause spin. But hey if you want one for the wall nows your chance! This was a fun tie inspired by Stan Mackerwicz; you can find his Facebook page here (facebook.com/groups/2578575089030046/user/100002962767980/) and even buy a few!

Really awsume pattern Jesse - Stan Mackerwicz may have been the inspiration (I had to go check it out) for the Brooke pattern but you really made it your own. Definitely a Mainly Realistic Brooke Trout Fly! I might be able to tie it but it might look more like a Goby (#flies) when I was done. I volunteer at the VA with Project Healing Waters fly tying, teaching fly tying to fellow disabled vets twice a month sessions- I started out 13 -14 years ago learning as a Veteran myself. Its really rewarding. Been doing it all that time twice a month except during Covid. If I would have put that effort into You Tube I might have a third of the subscribers. I really enjoy your channel watched many of them even the 1-2 hour ones. Congrats on your milestone I'm glad I'm part of it. I NEVER leave comments but always Like - Subscribe - and Save my favorites like this one.

FYI… Rod Haig-Brown at the start of one of his books, talks about the carnivorous nature of brook trout. He mentions when he was a young river rat how he released a small slightly damaged trout, to see it get engulfed by a larger trout in the pool. I read that years ago and knew from experience that some of my best spoons, spinners and flys had colouration similar to a small trout. Some anglers will know that is places where bait fish are scarce, and trout are plentiful that lures that attract larger fish mimic small trout. Large trout are very carnivorous. The beautiful streamer you are tying might not catch a lot of small fish, definitely a large fish fly. I would love to have that streamer out in big water, gets the adrenaline pumping thinking about it.

@MainelyFlies 2 ай бұрын

I don't think this one will ever see the water. It's a good memory but not exactly built for durability, as I forgot to tie in the side feathers, and the blue halos will surely drop off after 1-2 catches. I also think the hard fins would cause some spinning as well. Nonetheless, it was a very fun tie!

That would be cool I haven't really heard of any other than small IG contests. Might want to make the fins soft on the fishing one and add some weight under the shank to keep it from spinning.
