Fly Tying

The Klinkhammer, developed by Hans van Klinken, is an emerger pattern that works well for trout feeding on the surface or just below the surface. The Klinkhammer can imitate an emerging Caddis or an emerging Mayfly and works well as either a searching pattern, attractor pattern, or a technical dry fly. Jared shows you the steps needed to tie this famous fly in detail with thorough instructions so you can tie one up on your vise at home.

Ray's Fly is another saltwater streamer pattern that can be used in a variety of angling scenarios. A perfect imitation of smaller baitfish, this pattern is deadly on a host of saltwater species. Again, this pattern can be tweaked and tied with different colors depending on what species of baitfish you're trying to imitate. Watch Jared deliver step-by-step instructions to tie the Ray's Fly.

The Rump Shaker is a Redfish fly that's really designed to imitate a fleeing shrimp (although fish eat it as a crab or a baitfish, too). This fly has a great profile in the water and moves a lot of water to attract large Redfish when the water is 1-3 feet deep. Jared has thrown a weed guard on this version to make it a perfect fly for the Louisiana marsh, the coast of Texas, or anywhere else you're likely to find Redfish in shallow water conditions. Learn how to tie this modern Redfish fly including step-by-step instructions, a materials list, and more.

Tune in as Jared shows you the necessary steps to tie this simple saltwater crab pattern.

The Bulkhead Deceiver features a thick profile for commotion and movement in the water. This pattern is an improvement on Bob Popovics' Bucktail Deceiver. This iteration adds thickness, depth, and allows the fly to push more water to attract predatory fish from long distances. Bob Popovics ties many famous baitfish patterns for saltwater fish including Striped Bass and more. Tune in as Jared takes you through the necessary steps to tie a great pattern for a variety of scenarios.

This fly is tons of fun to tie and is a must-have for all you Bass fly anglers out there.
