The tying sessions Ep:35 The Gunsmoke roach

Fly tying is like cooking, put the right ingredients together in the right amount and it will be tasty!
This is a fly that will last a good few meals! Plenty of volume with the "X" style tying in the middle and super visual with the holographic flash and that punchy colour combo neon yellow and orange on the belly and throat .
But it also can be shy with the whole body structure in a stealthy gunsmoke colour.
This is a fly that i love using as it can produce in any conditions! No need for dark flies on dull days and bright flies on sunny days....This one will cover anything, clear waters, dirty waters, sunny, cloudy days...Doesn't matter to the gunsmoke....His barrel never gets cold!

The Tying sessions EP:34 The Bunny Boiler

A streamer that can be tied on a smaller hook for other predatory fish. From bass,trout, perch this fly will tempt many fish. The zonker will protect the rattle making it a very durable fly. For pike i like to cut my own zonker to have them slightly wider than the shop bought ones.
As usual fell free to change colours to suit your area and fish targeted.

Custom tails?

Sometimes i need to get creative, and the tail design is a very important part of fly tying for pikes and muskies. The head gives you presence,volume and direction in a streamer, but the tail gives it life. I'm always thinking about new tail designs to create them magic moves to seduce a big girl!
If you're like me and always looking for inspiration and creativity you have to play with some faux suede! That stuff is just brilliant, it's super resilient to pike's teeth, it takes inks and paints so well, and you can make anything with it! It dries very well without any changes in the original shape .Tails, wiggle,wave, doubles,slims, long, fat ones! Crab claws, shrimp body, frog legs,  possibilities are endless!
Like i mention in the video, i get a good few messages asking how to make your own tails. That video should help..I hope....That said i know the Ebay can be strange, some stuff i can buy here, people in other countries can't. Just try to get around it by maybe looking at different countries to ship where ever you live. Best of luck and get creative!
