  • Hi Wandeagle

    Thanks for your e-mail. You are not far wrong! The zulu is a red tag with a brown hackle palmered and secured with a gold rib.

    Happy Fishing

  • could you use red chenille for this one?

  • Hi Jeter2rocks111

    It would be better to use wool or antron, but if you have fine chenille it might work for the body.

  • can u use egg yarn if you dont have any wool?

  • why does the zulu not have the silver tinge on its body ?

  • Hi, David a nice easy fly to tie. Alan

  • the soldier palmer is great in late spring on it's own, fished slow on an imtermediate line, I caught 25 fish in 4 hours using this method, excellent video

  • Hey Dave i realy like all your videos i am supost to get my fly tying kit on wednesday and wondering what should i make for a begginer?

  • The Zulu fly you tying, reminds me of a Red Tag fly:P

  • as long as you can get a nice knot to secure it until you get it varnished you'll be flying. that thread is goin nowhere when the varnish drys

  • i find it easier with a whip finisher. you might want to try that also.

  • excellent series of videos. you make it look easy! thanks for posting. thanks.
