BLACK BEAUTY

Very simple yet very effective nymph . Very easy to tie. Not much skill required .   

Materials

Hook 

Bead Head 

Copper Wire 

Silly Legs

SLF Dubb

SLF Prism Dubb

Epoxy / BugBond

Insert the bead head. If you want to add some weight , wrap some led wire behind the bead head and it helps the bead head from moving back and forward.

Dress the hook with thread a bit over the hook bend . 

Take a pair of goose biot and tie it on both side of the hook . (stonefly style)

Tie some copper wire on . 

Now take the black SLF dub and wrap it around , be sure to create a nice taper as you go.

Wrap the copper wire in the opposite direction for protection and body segment .

Tie a scud back on , put in the SLF Prism and tie a pair of silly legs.

Move the scud back forward, tie it and trim off excess.

Put some epoxy over the scud back . And there you go . 

Happy Tying :)

EASY SCULPIN

This is my version of the sculpin . It's way easier to tie yet does the job . Works fairly well for Tarpons,Barras,Peacock Bass and sometimes Red Drums .  

Materials

Hook 

Cone Head

Rabbit Zonker

Palmer Chenille

Insert the cone head . Dress the hook and tie on some palmer chenille . 

Take the zonker and pierce it with the hook then tie it on . 

Wrap the rest of the zonker around the hook . Whip finish and your done 

Less than 5 minutes to tie and less materials to use . Have fun and happy tying . 

MOON TOAD aka the TARPONATOR

This fly was named after the original pattern, the tarpon toad , tarpon in malay is called "Bulan".The direct translation is "moon" . That's how this fly is called the MOON TOAD which in malay sounds a bit weird . It is a mixture of sculpin and tarpon toad . I use it primarily for tarpon hence the Tarponator.

Materials

Hook 

Rabbit Zonker 

Silly Legs

Palmer Chenille 

Bead Chain 

Deer Hair

Dress the hook with thread up to the hook bend .

  

Tie on some silly legs 

Tie on a zonker strip 

Wrap the extra zonker strip around the hook . 

Tie on some palmer chenille and wrap around the hook . Tie on a bead chain as well . 

Take a bunch of deer hair and tie it on . Be sure to make two light wraps and then one tight wrap to assure the deer hair will cover around the hook not just on one side . 

After you're done wasting your deer hair , trim it as you would a sculpin or mudler minnow . The deer hair is intended to help with the bobbing for air effect which drives the tarpon crazy . 

Trim it to your own desire . For me I will make sure it looks like a sculpin or mouse . hehe

There you have it . The MOON-TOAD . Happy Tying .

CZECH NYMPH

A killer fly pattern . I have been catching lot of big fish with this fly . The most pattern that I've lost usually after hooking up a PACU at Nik Rahimi's Pond .

Materials

Hook TMC 2457

Scud Back 

Vinyl Ribbing 

Lots and lots of Dubbing :) hehe

Dress the hook with thread and tie in the ribbing.

Tie in the scud back and start applying the dub be sure to create a nice tapper as you go .

Pull the scud back forward , tie it down and half hitch . Trim off the scud back.

Wrap the vinyl ribbing , tie it down , and whip finish.

Take a bodkin and pick the dubbing out .

And this is the after you've picked out the dubbing . 

I assure you , you'll catch fish much more easier with this pattern .

Have fun and Happy Tying . 

PHEASANT TAIL NYMPH

This is one of my all time favorite pattern to tie . It requires a little bit of patients but it's still quite easy to tie .  

Materials

Hook 

Pheasant Tail 

Copper Wire

Dubbing / Ice Dub

I am using a TMC 200R hook #14 . Dress the hook with the thread a little bit over the hook bend .

Tie in some pheasant tail fibers and some copper wire.Bring the thread forward and be sure to create a taper as you go.

Wrap the fiber forward and wrap the copper wire the opposite way to protect the fibers.

Tie in some more pheasant tail fibers for the wing case and start putting in some dub for the thorax .

Pull the tip of the tail fibers down as legs .

Pull the remaining fibers forward as the wing case and whip finish . That's it . A fly that works for most species of fish . 

Happy Tying ;)

RED HEAD SURF CANDY

A fairly simple fly to tie . Works really well for Peacock Bass, Snake Heads, Baramundi ,Red Drums and other predatory fish . And I'm doing it a Red Head color usually seen on poppers and pencils .

Materials 

Hook 

Buck Tail 

Crystal Flash / Flashabou

3D eyes 

Epoxy 

First dress the hook with the thread up to the hook bend . I am using a Daiichi Hook #6

Tie in some white buck tail and be sure to tie just behind the hook eye to create the body.

Tie some crystal flash and add more buck tail on top .

To get the red head look , use a Sharpie to color the thread or you can use a red thread if you're not lazy like me , and then whip finish.

Now change to a mono thread and tie some flashabou as the lateral scale line and whip finish.

Stick on a pair of 3d eyes and start applying the epoxy . The trick is , put as much epoxy as you can 1st , then spread it by turning your vise around till you get the look that you want . And be sure to apply it over to the hook bend or the buck tail could be caught at it . 

There you have , less than 15 minutes to tie . It does requires a little practice to shape the epoxy perfectly.

Happy Tying :)
