Yeah, great looking fly!

And that is the definition of cool. Thanks Kelly for sharing!

They have been around for centuries, its just a natural progression that we tie new styles and try to become more innovative. It always amazes me when I am digging through my old fly boxes and see what I tied 40 years ago and how those patterns worked then and when I tie one on now they still catch fish . Wet flies are just fun to tie ,a lot of tiers have never set a wing like this and will be amazed how cool they look . Just the other day found a dead mallard drake on top of a snow drift guess were his feathers ended up :-)

As always, a great video and a reminder that going back to some of the old standbys will bring much success. Thanks Kelly.

Literally tied this fly yesterday and today I caught a 20inch rainbow on it using a drop shot rig. Thank you.

Nice variant on this classic, Kelly. I was in your neighborhood, at a family reunion between Harrison and Ennis. I called the shop and planned to stop by. Then, a relative had a heart attack and tested positive for COVID at the hospital. So, we’re sitting here in quarantine.

Kelly- I really appreciate the insight and historical info you put in. I would love to say I've been in this industry for decades- but I haven't. It can be so hard for young tyers and fisherman to see the current movements and not understand how quickly this industry was revolutionized, and how now that far ago in history, things were DRASTICALLY different. It's truly a great time to be a fly tyer......pz

You are right on time with this. I was just thinking of using a classic wet fly high up on my nymph rig. Was googling March Brown just the other day. Love that you take the time to share all your tying knowledge.

Yes! Classic wet flies. I started fly fishing in the 80’s and tying in the early 90’s. I see the patterns in all the old tying books but I’ve never heard of anyone using them much in the last 30 or 40 years and I’ve always wondered why. And I have to admit I guess I was never “brave” enough to try them either, probably because I didn’t really know how to present them. But If they caught fish over the previous couple of hundred years, why wouldn’t they today? And I just think they look cool. If you’re looking for suggestions for video ideas, I would watch a whole series of videos on classic wet flies and what was great about each one back in the day. Thanks Kelly!

Always enjoyable, thanks for posting.

Cool studio and effective fly, good job!

Thanks Kelly, love the simple old flies. Reminds me of a fly pattern that was in Fly Fisherman years ago called the still water super fly. Pretty much same as what you did but without wings, matches nothing but looks like everything.

Great Kelly. A killer fly on the vise.

Those are cool. I like to blend my hares ear with Whitlocks SLF brown squirrel. Makes a killer body. And playing with different SLF makes a nice way to get different coloration to a natural mask. Thanks for the vids.

Good tying👍👍👍Like✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

That fly catches fish. Also Dark Hendrickson as the point fly and Grizzly King as the dropper.

If you haven't fished a natural colored classic wet fly on the swing at night, during a caddis hatch, you haven't lived...Also, look up Andy Brasko's classic wet flies. They're beautiful.

We all seem to have those flys that "we fish all the time....but haven't had to tie one in 20 years". 😅

My friend, a Vietnam vet, all he uses are classic wets. He outfishes everyone, lol.

very nice fly. But I was wondering how critical the wing is. This pattern without the wing looks still buggy and just like a woolly bugger. Is there something the wing mimic?

Mr Galloup. Could you use the hole in end of most bodkins to get hackle back at head ? Or is this best technique?

Hey Kelly Any chance you can show how you organize your tying materials?

Tried this one a few times last night. Wasn't successful. Tried using the 12/0 nano silk in olive I had on hand. Had tough time controlling it. Very slippery. Any suggestions? Thanks, Anthony

It’s seem everyone is pushing this semperfli nano silk,Every video on KZfaq video they are using it. Interesting.
