      Good morning Matt. Having my morning coffee and watching the video and of course reading the comments. Too bad Jim didn’t live closer…the thought of those biscuits was appealing 😀. I have a card of that Mylar and have never used it. Wasn’t sure what I could use it for until now and I think Edward’s comment about it looking like scales is a good observation. Enjoyed the tie Matt. Take care and now more ☕️.

      I wonder if J Stockard sees a flurry of orders for a particular material when you showcase something like that tubing and they wonder why? 🙂 I've definitely added it to my shopping list. Nice job sir!

      Morning Matt. Funny that you choose mylar today. I have tied some mylar bait fish. Playing around with craft fur. Like the look of this fly. Good day to you.

      That should be a fish catcher, Matt. There was a pattern online (when we had to use that lethargic dial up!) That used hot glue to create an under belly beneath the tubing. It looked great, but really cut down the hook gap. Inverting it seemed to cause wing entanglements, so I ditched that one.

      GM Matt Nice way to start my morning. Cup of coffee & watching you tie a Fly, Thanks. Question, does crushing the barb with your Vise cause damage to the jaws ?

    8. Kyle Hulbert on

      Good morning, Matt. I like this fly. Pretty cool pattern, and a very neat material.
      Thanks again, my friend, for everything you do.
      Peace.

      Nice looking fly. I've never used tubing before but it looks easy enough and it definitely adds body to the fly. I might have to add mylar tubing to my material arsonal. Thanks Matt for sharing.

      Good morning Sir. Thank you Matt for introducing us to a new material. The use of the tubing is pretty impressive. Definitely represents the scales on the body of a minnow. Great technique. Could open a lot of doors for future flies. This is a great looking fly. Nice job of tying. I can see this being very productive. Great video. Thank you.

      Good ideas in fly tying like this one seem to repeat themselves! I remember many moons ago the Orvis catalog (late 70s?) had a Silver Darter just as you tied your variant here. Next to it they had a Golden Darter tied with brown furnace hackle and a gold mylar tube body.
      More recently, I've done well in the early spring on recently stocked fish with a fly a lot like your Silver Darter when the water is dirty. I should get to tying here, Spring is coming! Thanks Matt

      Hello Matt! Nice pattern, looks like a Christmas fly. It would take me a few ties to get this fly right. Love watching you tie, you make it look easy, and you show and explain by keeping it simple. Thanks. Until next time. 👍

      Awesome minnow pattern Matt, but, where can I get those "poopy" scissors? ;o) Love the sword beard, similar to that Crow fly. Seriously, I love mylar minnow bodies. I'd paint eyes on that one. Try putting the tube over the hook eye, tie it down, then push the tube back like you'd turn a sock inside out, then stretch it some for a pot belly or tight for slim, tie down before the hook point. I leave the fringe for a tail, or not. I tie some with foam on top for a hump back floating minnow. The foam were discs used for packing pill bottles. Tied them weighted too with a bunch of methods. A Fly Tyer article years ago, The Jiggler, tied hook up with a couple of BBs slipped in the tube before tying down the last end. Barry Clarke had a couple of pike flies in Fly Tyer that used brass or tungsten beads for weight, maybe called the Hoodlum. But I bought some .177cal (4.5mm) Zinc plated Daisy BBs, 2400 for $6 bucks. Lifetime supply unless I buy a BB gun. You must have a Red Ryder stashed in the barn, right?
      There's lots of tubing out there, even very thin gift wrapping tubing that I've used. Christmas time is the time to look for it, or after for discounts. Thanks Matt, great video!

      Wow awesome fly!!! Ya tying with stuff I dont have!!! LOL anyway suggestion for ya how bout ya do a feather explanation for the young tiers? My young one who is trying to learn is always asking whats a badger feather? Church feather? Might help a few new tiers out! plus save me to have to explain to mine what yer talking about lol Have a good Day !!! And Thanks

      Good morning Matt, nice fishing fly to go with my morning coffee! With the wings so long on this fly wouldn't that create a short strike issue? Also, for the new guys might I suggest watching Bob Jacklin tying videos and watch his technique for doing a hand whip finish. He uses a hand over hand technique that allows you to place your wraps during whip finishing very precisely. Great for times when your whip finisher is to small. This is the same technique that was taught to me. It take a few minutes to learn however extremely useful knowledge. That for sharing and have a great day!!

      It could be argued that the mylar tubing body makes for a more minnow-like fly and, thus, a better imitation if imitation is the goal. It's interesting to reflect on how many of the thousands of fly patterns that have come down the years to us are actually artifacts of their time. I doubt Lew Oatman had anything like mylar tubing available to him in the 1950s. If he had, he might very well have used it instead of tinsel.

    27. Mark Fritch on

      Nice looking minnow Matt. I like the flash of the tubing. Probably will be doing some fly tying today as it is snowing and windy outside. Would this be a wintertime pattern? BTW I just received the Federation of Fly Fishers Fly Pattern Encyclopedia. My wife got it for me for Christmas. Wow! Over 1600 patterns, and the pictures are great also. Have a great Christmas and thanks for your instruction. Continued blessings my friend

    28. Hardy Schlegel on

      Great looking fly Matt! I still use this mylar for streamers, you can shape a good minnow body with patience and some glue along the top of the hook. Thanks for sharing!

    33. Richard De Meza on

      I can see that fly used for salt water fishing. Maybe in different wing colors but every thing else are good for say trout, snook and I can see tarpon going for them. And even Spanish mackerel. Thanks it’s a good looking pattern.

    34. FlyTyer1948 on

      Good fly. Also a good one to put in a clear Christmas ornament.
      There are a number of good streamers that use braid for the body & that are popular on the Penobscot River in Maine. Joe’s Smelt & a floating, injured smelt pattern tied with a foam tube inserted under the braid with frayed braid behind the rear thread wraps & a marabou tail. The latter works quite well in the tail water part of the river year round, & anywhere on the river when the smelt are running the spring. There are well over a dozen smelt patterns designed with braid listed in Don Wilson’s “Smelt Fly Patterns.” There also a number of saltwater patterns designed with braid bodies, especially sand eel, silversides & small squid flies. If you get used to using braid, I would suggest it is quite a bit faster to use than wrapping a tinsel body with an oval tinsel rib, albeit the tinsel body & rib probably have a classier look.

      Oops. Almost forgot, there is a freshwater bass pattern where you use a larger braid & use a rattle capsule inserted under the braid to create a deeper belly & serve as a noisemaker. You can also cover a foam popper & glue the braid over it to create various colors.

      I was at Big Lots the other day and found some mylar tubing in the Christmas ribbon display. It's kind of a pearlescent color but it was $4.00 for 45 ft. When I was in the fly shop the other day I think it was $6.99 for about 10 pieces. Nice fly Matt I really like the minnow tubing bodies, they're a lot of bulk without much weight. I think I might try a red tail on this one, I think it would look good. Either some schlappen fibers or maybe some marabou. Keep the good stuff coming.

    39. Frank Monroe on

      Hi Matt. Years back I inherited my uncles entire tying kit. Among it was a quantity of mylar tubing which I seldom use. I love the look on that fly! Very scaly a good imitation of a smelt or shiner body.
      I'm gonna use some of that mylar up this winter. Might be nice on weighted ice flys for jigging.
      Keep up the great work.

      Dadgummit. My local fly tying club decided to try a Cornhusker fly for December. I was experimenting on how to make something look like corn. I never thought about a yellow mylar tubing. I ended up using a yellow foam, which worked, but tubing would have been perfect.

    43. John Ryan on

      Matt between you and Tim Neil you guys got me covered that's a cool streamer now I have to get some tubing thanks the material list is never-ending
