Fly Tying: An Articulated Craft Fur Diver with Martyn White
This foam headed diver is a quick alternative to a deer hair Dahlberg diver. I see this pattern as essentially a smallmouth bass fly, but it can be tied in a range of sizes and colours to target other species from perch to muskie in fresh water and all manner of saltwater gamefish too.

Fly Tying: Peter Morse's Gurgle Pop with Martyn White
Переглядів 642Місяць тому
Morsie's gurgle pop is a deceptively simple pattern that really catches fish in situations where the bait is small or a more subtle popper is required. It's very well designed with nothing impedeing the hook gap, which is often a problem with top water flies and being made from only a couple of materials, it's quick, cheap, easily replaceable and well worth carrying in your box whether fishing ...
Fly Tying: A Sheet foam Slider with Martyn White
Переглядів 573Місяць тому
This little slider offers a wonderful, subtle topwater presentation. You can fish it more aggressively for a more Dahlberg Diver type action, but it really excells when waked around schools of bait or slithered through weeds and over structure. In many waters these patterns will outfish noisier poppers and bugs, especially on calm days and they are well worth keeping in your box. Head to www.pa...

The Sneaky Pete is a fantastic fish catcher and works for all the black bass and panfish. This is a bit of a variation on the original cork bug, a bit beefed up but just as good as the original. In many waters these patterns will outfish noisier poppers most of the time and are well worth keeping in your box.

Carp On The Fly Early Season Mulberry Feeders
Переглядів 3752 місяці тому
A short carp fly fishing session in Japan. Conditions were great with the and I was surprised to find the mulberries dropping into the river earlier than usual. The fish were starting to congregate under the bushes and had started to become conditioned to the plop of the natural food source falling from above.

    I fish a lot of wire for toothy fish. I’ve adopted the improved overhand loop knot at the fly end and the perfection loop at the line end. Both of those leave the tag ends facing away from the direction of stripping. I’ve found that greatly reduces the amount of sea grass, etc. that gets fouled on the wire knots.

    Hey, Martyn. Great video, and great rendition of the Rhody Flatwing. I knew Bill Peabody. He was an absolute gentleman and as a fly tier probably didn’t get the recognition he deserved in his day. I’m glad people like you are keeping his work alive for the times. He was also very generous. He gave me, among other things, an industrial-size spool of his pearl Bodi Braid. If you give me your mailing address in Japan I’d be happy to send you some. Take care.

      Anything that eats on top will probably have a go at it. Tied on the stinger hook it's more fresh water like largemouth bass. For mangrove jacks etc. I'd put it on an SL12 or similar.
