love the video man! ive looked at this and tied some like it but with orange ice dubbing and also the yellow ice dubbing nice video!

[everest001]

Great pattern and nice clear demonstration. Thanks a lot.

I broke a few(50) of these out up here in wny for some big steelhead. Great flies, i was picking up fish when others werent stumped. I love the ice dub too. Nice flashy effect. Thanks for the tutorial bro.

Can't say I have ever had issues with the 200R breaking. As a matter of fact I think it is a great hook....landed many of big steelhead on fairly small patterns tied with the 200R (i.e. 14s & 12s). Perhaps the issue is not the hook...are you reefing on your vice to clamp your hooks in?

@miket786 Ive had a few flies in the 16 range bend out on trout in the 5-6 lb range and 18s bend on smaller fish. No, I dont torque too much, Im using an adjustable Dyna King just like you. Maybe its just the smaller sizes.

[LordDigz12]

that 200R is a great looking hook, but its very weak, be forewarned. Because of this Ive been substituting with a 2457 or a 2488H. Not quite the same look but you wont have the hook straightened out when you hook into something big. 200Rs have the brunt of the force of the hook all put just behind the hook barb where the curve increases dramatically. Also apply liberal amounts of glue to the shank before wrapping those biots or use a wire reinforcement.

What type of fish does this catch?

[miket786]

Mostly just fisherman according to one commenter (see below), but I like to think mostly trout, and steelhead if tied larger.

[carguy9135]

great job love the pattern

[gfheymoe]

Thanks....I've been looking for direction on tying this fly. It's one of my favorites!! You've been a HUGE help!!

[yourmotherFer]

Tornado!!!!!! 8:20 Look OUT. Great looking fly,  bet it catches lots of fisherman, and fish.

[lennyrobert]

Wow, nice video. Thanks for posting!! Do you have any more?

[BrownTrout117]

5* favs! I love how you wrapped the biot up to make the body. Very realistic. Im gona have to tie up some of these beauties sometime. Great video.

[frreinov]

Qué buena versión.

[fisterra66]

Felicidades, una magnífica mosca.

[marcoalessi1]

One of the most realistick stoneflies I've seen. Great clip!!! Usually these are done with the rubber legs so great varient. And yes I'm sure this little mother is deadly, just look at his menacing face.

[carpingbonkers]

[miket786]

Thanks, subscribe to my videos and you will be notified of others, new one coming soon.

[riverrat231231]

go back read the posts kid. I didnt say anything about a big fly. What I was saying was mike has over grown schrek hands and that you were probably hucking bait on monster 1/0 hooks. But, I said nothing about this fly being big. Mike is one of the best tyers in the pacific northwest. Regardless...didnt know that you were still wearing diapers. ...Ill delete my posts...in couple days.....happy trails.

[BrownTrout117]

i know that...i dont see why youre saying he has shrek hands, its not a big fly. Get a life.
