Ok so I am new to this and went out and bought what was on this list but it didn't say which type of wire was used in step 1. I am new to this and don't know what wire he used. Any suggestions?
@jcjc7373 I usually use medium wire for this fly. It's a personal preference because I know a lot of people that tie with larger than that. I find the medium wire easier to work with and not quite a bulky. Good luck!
Ok so I newt out and bought what was listed her edit it didn't say which type of wire is used at first. Can you tell me which wire is used in step 1. I am new to this and don't know what wire he used. Any suggestions?
hey guys! i just made a video of me tying a fly and i would love if you checked it out! i will be making new videos soon of me fishing, come check my videos out!
Just want to say thanks for putting these videos up on here. makes it easier for a beginner to see what they are doing wrong. Thanks again and happy fishing.
I've found that pheasant tail also works well on this fly instead of goose biots. The finished fly doesn't look quite as nice but the trout didn't seem to mind.
apparently scotts way works. tied 2 and tried them out at the san gabriel river, ca and caught 5 brook trouts with his copper johns. i think i could have caught more, but my flies ended up in the trees.
Isn't it about time that you environmentally oriented fly fishers got away from all that lead in fly tying? A #14 fly is just about the right size for a duck to scoop out of the lake or river bottom mud and to grind up with the gravel it usually has in the gizzard.
Great looking fly- to be sure. But Copper Johns DON'T use pheasant tail, you left out black nymph skin for shell back and the legs should be hen back or partridge. Also where is the drop of Epoxy or UV Knot Sense? I think the fly will most certainly catch fish but it's your variant of the Copper John. Not John Barr's
Thanks for the video. A small hint don't rush on these flies, the better you can wrap the copper wire and thread, the longer they will last. 11 years of fly tying, and fishing experience has taught me a few things.

@AdamsBaits ¿Cómo se pesca con esta mosca?

I dig the bump, for getting the biots to spread and sit nicely.

@spacefrogg5. That's awesome! I've donated my fair share to the trees too.
