Fly of the Month: Double Standard

Status
Not open for further replies.

I couldn't help but offer another fly of the month once I saw this exceptional video. Tim Flager provides detailed instructions on tying a fly that is half pheasant tail nymph and half bead head hare's ear nymph. This pattern is very easy to tie and works exceptionally well.

Tightline Productions is a full-service video production company located in Califon, NJ. Tim Flagler can be contacted through the company website at Tightline Productions.

I tie this for a sulphur nymph with some minor color variations.

It's deadly, but I'd stop way short of slapping a name on such an obvious pattern. :)

Great tie.

I like the look of flies tied on this style of hook, but have much better success hooking and hanging onto fish tied on standard scud or nymph hooks. Nice fly though, and I tie my PTs this way if I'm not tying in legs or a soft hackle.

I wonder how using peacock hearl instead of hair's ear might work for the thorax....kind of a Prince/Pheasant Tail "Double Standard". I'm very novice w/ tying, so maybe that's a dumb idea.

the standard phesant tails do use peacock for a thorax. The double standard is just a fancy name for a fly most of us tied at some point.

Agree with Jay on the sulphur nymph. This is very similar to the sulphur and olive nymph that Mike Heck ties. His taper is a bit thinner on the sulpur nymph than the one shown in the video.

Ahh see....I just checked my recipe and I always tie my PT w/ hair's ear for the thorax. I should try peacock herl. Sounds like that's the standard.I've always tied this one:

I am a terrible tier, but this pattern is a dream. I just started fishing nymphs this year (after 35 + years) and I have been catching a lot of fish in nymphs like this. Thanks for the post.
