Скачать или смотреть Red Bud (Gray Hackle Peacock Variant) - Great Smoky Mountain Trout Fly Tying

Another Smoky Mountain fly pattern from one of the legends of Southern Appalachian trout flies, Roger Lowe. This is a variant of the Gray Hackle Peacock nymph. Roger added the bead and changed the tail from hackle fibers to a small tuft of synthetic or wool. An easy-to-tie pattern, the locals claim this fly is most effective when the plentiful red bud tree is in bloom.

Hook: #10-16 curved nymph
Bead: Brass or tungsten, sized to the hook
Weight: Sized to match the hook
Thread: Black
Tail: Red synthetic or wool
Body: Peacock herl
Hackle: Gray partridge

Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging and teaching fly tying to as many people as possible. The channel is named after one of my western Maryland homewaters, the Savage River. I've been uploading at least three new videos a week (usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).

Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tips or tricks that could help me or anyone else watching.
