Details, Details: Oliver Edwards Video Mohican Mayfly (Green Drake)

[DGC]

This has to be watched in 5 parts, for a total of about 40-45 minutes, just for this one fly. It is a long time for one fly, but there is sufficient "what's he going to to next" appeal that it goes pretty well.

How to tie a foam extended body with tails, how to attach the extended body, a specific procedure to get the hair wing just the way he likes it, the manner of tying in, wrapping and tying off the parachute hackles (he has some trouble with this), and even using a cauterizer to clean up errant hairs and hackles.

What else is on TV anyway?

You have to select the videos from the right side, starting toward the bottom.

Great looking fly. Thanks for posting that video

The tree monsters would surely grab that one if I tied it.

Here are the variations I use, after years of trial and error. Such a short time to try and tinker. Models usually last a year and have to be altered.

I tie on long hooks, because previous models cause leader twist.
