HKA Sunray (Bismó)
Here we will be tying the Bismó tubefly. The Bismó is as I understand it a variation of the Sunray Shadow fly. The Bimsó can be tied with blue, white, green, pink and all sorts of colours for the underwing.The fly is a great option when it comes to fishing for Atlantic Salmon and is really popular for it. It requires advanced tying skills for it and a needle to hold the tube.

Jig’ish Sandeel
Up-side down flies can be super effective and especially for imitations of sandeels they can be a big hit. Sandeels use the tactic of fleeing from predatory fish by escaping into the sandy bottom and hide, this can be exploited by tying flies that turn upside-down and let them rest on the bottom and start with a jerk, this often triggers a hard take from the awaiting predator.

Barbells on a fly. There is power.
So far, fishing for barbel has not been exciting for me, but that has changed. When they are there and they are taking, the fun is fantastic. Having good company, our passion becomes something more than a way of spending free time.

EP Baitfish
Enrico Puglisi created the material known as EP fiber which is the base for tying this fly along with many other patterns similar to this. Now there are many materials on the market that can mimic the EP fiber, including what I used for this fly. Congo hair is one that I tend to like a lot. Its got some of the same properties as EP fiber but at a fraction of the cost.

Pats Rubber Legs
The Resin Tying Technique. Pat Bennett originally created the Pat's Rubber Legs which has turned into one of those patterns that is everywhere. Every fly shop has them for sale, and just about every fisherman on a river has some in their box. They are a fairly easy and quick fly to tie, which is kind of rare for a stonefly imitation. Stonefly patterns tend to be somewhat complicated.

Char Foam Fly
There is not much that can match the sight of a fish elegantly sipping one's fly on the surface - but it could be matched by the sight of a large fish aggressively attacking a fly that is being pulled quickly through the surface current or catching up with a skating fly in a splash.

How to Split Legs
Quick video of split leg technique. I assume this one is more fiddly for some. But its the way i got used to doing it.
Main advantage for me is that i cab utilise most of the feather with exception of very tip and fluff...
Hope you will enjoy it.

Caddis Larva
As fly tyers, we often try to imitate the fish's natural food items - sometimes we tie flies that provoke the fish and other times we tie super-realistic imitations where it can be very difficult to tell the difference between the tied fly and the live individual.

Llano Bug
The Llano Bug was created by Kevin Hutchinson to fish the Llano river and some other South Texas rivers for bass and sunfish. The species of bass here that is sought after the most is the Guadalupe bass. But we also have largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, among some other species also. A wide range of sunfish are in the various rivers and creeks in south Texas as well.

My first trout over 20" on the fly rod was with a Slump Buster fly. If you guys have been watching since the beginning of my channel, you will remember a trip to the Animas river in Durango Colorado. I fished 3 separate days with absolutely no luck. As I was leaving I threw on one of these and tried one last spot on my way back to the car.

Fly Fishing for Big Brown Trout!
In this video I hunt for a 20+ inch brown on a streamer. I wasn't sure how long it would take but it ended up taking around 5 hours of fishing which spanned over 2 days of fishing. I moved several other nice browns an caught 1 or 2 others that didn't make the video, but overall it was an awesome couple of day of fishing.

Stiff Wooly Bugger
Wooly buggers are one of the most popular streamers ever created. You can actually fish them as nymphs or streamers. Strip them, swing them, dead drift them, float under an indicator, or drag the bottom. Use a floating line, sink tip, or even full sink. Tie them small or large. However you fish them they will catch fish quite regularly.

Yellow CDL Matuka
The Matuka style of flies originates from New Zealand and unlike traditional feathe-winged flies, the Matuka flies are characterized by the feathers being secured with a rib along the hook shaft - this ensures a much more durable streamer and a narrow profile that imitates baitfish perfectly.
