    What A cool fly. I gotta say I am so happy I don’t have to go out and buy expensive materials for this one. I have been a fan of using one fly at a time on stronger leader material than recommended by some authors…..some days one fly and one knot is how I can roll on the water all day long!

    Very enjoyable Q&, once again very valuable insights from Charlie. I have Euro fished for about 4 years now and have come to the conclusion that it is just one of the many techniques available to us that is best suited for the situation. I now rarely just solely use one technique these days. Thanks Charlie for another great video. PS I mentioned to Max while I was in the shop that I would greatly appreciate a video on the characteristics of all the various dubbings out there.

    Fished the best pmd hatch I've ever seem on the lower provo river last week. I could see thousands of the nymphs in the water in all stages and all forms of the adults. The fish were eating everything! I could catch them on everything that looked like a pmd. It was so good!

  • @GeorgeSemel
    @GeorgeSemel 8 днів тому

    Here in the North East and PA, it's the Sulpher Hatch. A creamy orange to a yellow bug, in the 14 to 18 range. Its on now and has been since the end of May- it will continue well into July. Its one of my favorite hatches to fish.. It can also drive you nuts too. I keep it simple: a sparkle dun is what I fish most of the time, but of late, Fran Betters Usual has been really doing the trick for me late in the fishable day. It's a messy fly, but I like tying them. One of the problems that I have been having is that the waters I fish are heavily fished. They see a lot of flies. So, I keep trying to tie mine a little differently. It pays off at times. The other thing is that we are in low water conditions, and well, it's better not to even go into the water at all. They are spooky fish, but most ignore that and wonder why they don't get any hookups. Also, with last week's hot weather, I have not been fishing at all due to the water temps. The next big hatch is going to be Trico's. Go small or go home- I am looking forward to getting up at 3 am so I can make the 90-minute drive to the West Branch of the Farmington before sunrise. For some odd reason, Sulpher's and Trico's are two of my favorite hatches to fish.

    Heads up regarding the black spotting around the underside of your Dyna-king's jaws. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion via it forming a micro-surface layer of metal oxide which, once deep and even enough, acts like a resistant skin. Therefore, where the incipient oxide layer is repeatedly removed, say by inadvertant finger rubbing, the salts in hand sweat can initiate pitting corrosion, which presents as the black spots seen in this close-up footage. These pits can progress to a surprising depth if left unaddressed. Pitting is more likely to initiate where the stainless has been surface hardened via heat treatment. I have stolen one of my wife's flexible nail buffing 'sticks' which has three grades of gently abrasive surface on it. It is perfect for buffing away any such marks as soon as they appear and keeps my beloved Barrucuda looking brand new.

    Quick question,.. I was at Deckers on Monday....high flows and beautiful day, and was working with what i learned from this video, and feel I couldve added more weight to slow my drift, but that kept my indicator under water,... what indicators do you use with big tippet, weight, and weighted flies?...

    • @CharliesFlyBox
      @CharliesFlyBox 10 днів тому

      Usually yarn, but a big AirLic or Oros would do the job too. Make sure you’ve got enough space between the indicator and the lead though. 1.5X the water depth

    Really nice profile from below where it counts. As another former young guy, I learned to fly fish in Maine when it was flat out illegal to use lead weights or more than fly at a time. Doing otherwise meant a high probability of meeting a displeased game warden. Even sinking lines were questionable.

    All those young tyers out there who are now in treatment or in asylums, it is your fault!! You probably should have told them that handling elk hair that masterfully takes YEARS, not hours, of practice and experience. Such a great pattern, and even if mine don't quite look as nice, tight, and clean, they still catch a LOT of fish! At least you told them about the secret tool, though. That helps.
