Nymphing Baitfish - Small Fry For Fly Fishing - McFly Angler Fly Tying Tutorials

This fly is one I created to nymph for trout at my local river after the hatch. On the Animas, the rainbow trout and brown trout eggs start hatching, and there are tons of little fry that become food for the larger trout. I used to nymph a white rabbit leech for them, but I wanted to create a more realistic baitfish profile to catch them with.
Being completely coated with UV resin, this fly will be very durable, and able to withstand many fish strikes from toothy brown trout. Also, I find this fly to not be too difficult to tie.
Materials I used on this fly.
Hook: Umqua U301 in size 12 - amzn.to/2BCFBYG
Weight: .015 lead wire - amzn.to/2EnCKpk
Thread: Veevus 16/0 in olive - amzn.to/2DOOHrr
Tail: Marabou in Olive - amzn.to/2ElDN9t
Body Wrap: Tinsel Twist in Olive and Red - www.flytyersdun...
Back: Peacock Hurl - amzn.to/2DLDymY
Belly: Pearl Crystal Flash - amzn.to/2DNvVww
Eyes: 2mm 3D eyes - amzn.to/2DQ7GBO
1st Coat Resin - Solarez "Thin Hard" Formula - amzn.to/2DV04xb
2nd Coat Resin - Solarez "Bone Dry" Formula - amzn.to/2BExUBk
If you want to buy this fly tied by me, here is a link to it for sale on my eBay account where I sell these in 6 packs. Keep in mind, I use slightly different materials on the one I am selling, including better hooks and a different tail. www.ebay.com/i...

Been waiting for this one! So pumped to try it I’m thinking it will be a good pattern in my area. Thanks for the vid

Glad you like it! I have caught fish with it already, but coming up in March/April this will do great on my local river as well. The trout hatch at that time (roughly) , and there are tons of these little frys moving about. It will destroy the big browns who target the baby rainbows.

Thanks for this! I had first seen a similar fly to this last November at the Trois-Rivières Fly show (Québec). I've been tying a simpler version just with tinsel on the shank and either a marabou tail or a two rubber legs as the tail. Both version catch fish. I like your variation a lot. I will be incorporating peacock herl (always a winner IMHO).

Ha thanks! So I think I came up with this idea like 3 years ago, video here was 2 years or so ago... I wasn’t the first person to come up with a nymphing baitfish fry though, there have been a few others to do it.

I've been sorta Bing watching your vids lately as I play around tying flies. I think this is my favorite pattern of yours. I really like it by but of course I'll change it a bit and swap foam for lead for a slower sink rate

@McFlyAngler 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Let me know how well it catches for you. And for sure, the beauty of tying is custom making flies to your own needs.

Nice, reminds me of a "surf candy".

@McFlyAngler 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah sorta huh? A tad different though. I have tied many of those, in fact I have a few video's. Including a surf candy that has weight, and swims hook point up. Check that one out if you havent before. Either way, I think this is going to be a trout killer on my local river come March/April.
