RED EYED DEVIL

Just a cool looking fly. This pattern is usually used to catch tarpon of the Florida keys. But this is way smaller than the ones used there. Great for practically any predators especially those with sharp teeth.  

Materials

Gamakatsu S11S-4L

Grizzly Hackle 

Soft Hackle 

Raccoon Zonker 

Flashabou

3D eyes 

Dress the hook with thread just at the hook bend 

Tie some raccoon zonker on. Just a hook length is enough dont make it too long.

Tie some flashabou on both side of the hook

Get a pair of grizzly hackle and tie it on both side of the hook, be sure to tie it in a split.

Tie on some soft hackle, you can tie a bunch a time too.

Wrap the soft hackle a few times , then tie it down. 

Slap on a pair of 3D eyes .

Epoxy the head to keep the eyes in place and creates a fish like profile . 

The extra unused space in front act as a bite guard to minimize the risks of line breaks 

Hope you'll like it Happy tying :P

DEER HAIR CADDIS

This pattern of dry fly can be used pretty much anywhere. I've caught almost everything from Nyenyuar to a Pacu with this fly pattern

Materials

TMC 200R or any dry hooks

Deer Hair 

Dry Hackles

Dubbing

CDC(cul de Cunard)

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

Wrap some dubbing this end. I am using a SLF Prism dub.   

Wrap a little bit of angora dubbing then tie down the dry hackle.

Wrap more dubbing but be sure to leave room for the deer hair.

Wrap the dry hackle around the hook and tie it down.

Trim/cut off the dry hackle on top of the fly

 Tie on some CDC. This is to help with it buoyancy

 Tie in the deer hair. Make sure you stack it in the hair stacking tool 1st 

Trim excess then whip finish. Drop some head cement as well to make sure the deer hair wont come off.

Enjoy and happy tying :)

WEEDLESS STREAMER

A necessity in order to hunt for Peacock Bass back in Perak. It has a streamer look to it but is used the same way you would use a clouser minnow 

Materials

GAMAKATSU worm hook #1

Buck Tail 

Crystal Flash(Midge)

Flashabou

Lead Wire

Peacock Herl 

Tie some lead wire in the middle to make sure that the hook will be upside down

Wrap some thread to conceal the lead wire as well as protect it 

 

Drop some head cement for extra protection :p

Dress the hook right before the hook eye 

Tie in some buck tail just a little over the hook 

Tie in some crystal flash

Add a little more bucktail 

ha ha ha 

Tie the flashabou on both side as lateral lines

Tie some peacock herl, this helps your fly to float and swim right. Trim off excess and whip finish.

I just love using this fly, It catches more fish than weeds it even catches the small ones too ;P 

Those who been to AK would know.  

HAPPY TYING 

CADDIS PUPAE

One of my favorite and enjoyable fly to tie. Takes a little patients but believe me its worth it.

Materials 

Hook#12 (TMC 2487BL)

Tungsten Bead Head

SLF PRISM Dubbing 

SOW SCUD Dubbing 

Vinyl Ribbing 

Scud Back 

Goose Biot

Pheasant tail 

Insert the bead head and dress the hook almost half over the bend

Tie in some vinyl ribbing 

Twist some dubbing on your thread 

Wrap the dubbing and be sure to create a nice taper

Wrap the vinyl ribbing to protect the dubbing and create the body segments. Be sure to wrap it the opposite way you wrap the dubbing

Tie in the scud back 

Tie a pair of goose biot on both side of the hook

Wrap more dubbing for the thorax and tie a pair of pheasant tail fibers 

Pull the scud back forward and tie it down. Trim of excess and you're pretty much done ..... but

You can also put some epoxy on top for a better look . 

This is not a 100% accurate imitation but it was inspired by the real thing and it does the job . 

HAPPY TYING :)  

TACKLEBOX SPLIT TAIL

Nick Ooi's famous fly for Hampala(Sebarau). Fairly simple, almost everyone know how to tie it but why not eh ? hehee.

Materials

Hook (im using Gamakatsu S11S-4L)

Bead Chain

Grizzly Hackle 

Raccoon Zonker

Flashabou

Dress the hook with thread up to the hook bend.

Take two grizzly hackle and tie it on both side of the hook as you would a goose biot on a stonefly nymph. Make sure you get that "SPLIT" .

Tie in some flashabou or crystal flash, then bring the thread foward

Tie in the bead chain in front and make sure to leave room for the zonker later

Wrap the flashabou till you cover the body up to the bead chain and then tie it down

Drop on some head cement for security 

And then tie down the raccoon zonker and trim excess. Tie in flashabou on top of the zonker for extra attraction and whip finish. 

Extremely simple and easy.
