Tying The Galloup Hare's Ear
Рет қаралды 46,890
3 жыл бұрынThis video is an updated version of our original Hare's Ear video that we shot in 2014. We had a lot of requests to re-shoot this one with the updated camera angles and higher quality video, and this is by far one of Kelly's best takes on a traditional nymph pattern. His Hare's Ear variation does away with a lot of the bulk that you see on most commercial patterns and is still one of the most effective mayfly nymphs ever developed.

I learned your hares ear nymph a long time ago from one of your first videos. I am happy to say I’ve had a lot of success with it. Thanks a million Kelly

kelly thanks for this beautiful demonstration. I like a couple of things in particular beyond the particulars of this pattern. You said we need to practice and pay attention to the traditions of our "craft". I tell our residents (trainees) in plastic surgery here at UBC craft cannot be commoditized, so this really spoke to me. And you don't use a whip finish tool. It's all beautifully shot and the detail demonstrated is admirable. 😊

@glencamblin 3 жыл бұрын
@@thomengel9720 "drop shot" = weight at the end of the rig with 1,2 or 3 tags off the main line typically 2-4" with your fly of choice tied on. You fish it tight line no indicator most the time and you feel the drop shot ticking bottom and typically when the fish takes it feels either more solid or a head shake and u set the hook. Super effective in deep fast water and pocket water.

That's a great Hare's Ear. So much better than any commercial offering. Constructive comments....... Kelly (with respect) it would really help if you completed every sentence you started. Twisting the silver rib is a good idea, and even better/stronger if twisted onto A loop of Semperfli #12. You're right - silver rib attracts better than gold. Peacock is variable in quality and dries with age, so it can fray quickly. Black or dark green Zelon or Trigger Point are perfect alternatives for that job. Semperfli #12 is pretty thick/multistranded and, as you say, nigh-on unbreakable. It can be split so easily it makes a formed loop unnecessary in a fly so small. On occasions, a hint of pearl or peacock IceDub mixed into the hare's ear body dubbing can make a big difference to the fly's effectiveness.

Hell, I’m from Europe and I wouldn’t like to see fly fishing Europeanised!!! It’s like a disease spreading slowly, I’m starting to see folks here in Ireland along the streams high sticking with a length of mono and a bead and resin “fly” like machines. Where the f is the enjoyment or relaxation in that?! I absolutely hate that folks had to go and make something like our sport competitive based on numbers of fish caught. Weren’t casting competitions good? No they are, the euro stuff is for folks who can’t be bothered learning how to cast a fly rod or detect takes. Anyways, rant over… you guys have a lovely shop and glad to have been able to give you some business.

Having spent two months. Giving 'basics in fly tying' lessons. To a group of lake anglers. I can probably shed some light. On the great rabbit fur nymph tail conspiracy. Of 2021.
@academicmailbox7798 3 жыл бұрын
The fact of the matter is. And probably every 'guide' at some stage (although, I've never operated professionally in that sense, I've taught a lot of different anglers over the decades). The worst thing. That I assume that guides can do (reason, why I don't care much for saltwater, warm water, south east of north America type of sport in fly fishing). The worst thing that one can probably do. Is to impose one's own preferences. On to one's clients.
@academicmailbox7798 3 жыл бұрын
Lake angling was never really my thing. Although, by coincidence. Many of my mentors over the years (both in real life, and in reading books written by great Irish anglers in particular). Have been still water anglers. So there was a library of stuff there. That I could lean on. To 'slant' my teaching. Of a couple of experienced boat men. Who were familiar with the practicalities of working boats. On the still water. Yet, they had wanted to move to the next level. In terms of their fly making and fly fishing. Capabilities.
@academicmailbox7798 3 жыл бұрын
What that did. Was it forced me to reach back in my knowledge gained. About still water fly angling. And re-hash that. For the purposes of teaching fairly novice fly anglers. Who did not want to fish in rivers. But spent most of their time on still water. How to get their game. To the next level. They'd come to me originally. Because of my experience of salmon and sea trout angling. On very fast, high gradient, high volume of water capacity. River channels. Which when you think about that. It might describe somewhere like the 'Madison' (where yes, there are nymphs etc trying to just 'cling on' to the bottom, all of the time). But in the context of still water angling. That is not what they wanted. And it was a job. To convince them. They needed to look at it. Through a different lens. Than the lens that I would use.
@academicmailbox7798 3 жыл бұрын
What I wanted to do as well. Was to un-complicate the process for them. Narrowly focus them into around a half a dozen. Basic worthy still water fly patterns. Or 'platforms' at least (within each platform, they could be free to innovate and change within parameters). That were suited to stillwater angling. And that means of course. That a whole raft of things. That one brings with one (as the 'teacher' in this situation). Into the class room. With one. One has to throw out altogether.

Why not? Message to whom? I love it, there's actually five, however two are carvings I did for background. I have no problem with limited kill on fish. I have been a taxidermist for over forty years and have killed a whopping two fish to mount for myself and to be totally honest I regret not taking a couple others. Catch and release was never intended to be never kill a fish it was intended to be (limit you kill don't kill your limit) consciously preserving the resource . I also still kill fish to eat on occasion. The bottom line is this is a blood sport and there will be mortality even if you let every fish go, we just don't see the end result. Kelly
