Wow, great pattern at 59:50 and on, Phil. Have you noticed the fish like autumn patterns in the fall? I tried something like that with the 'waste' feathers, but ended up losing my dubbing loop, mid phonecall ! Also, great advice on the aftershaft feathers, I always found I was too 'sausage finger' to handle those little marvels. Put them in a dubbing loop, eh? It might not get to you at the same time, but 🎇 Happy Canada Day!! 🎇 🥌 ( YT cut off the flag icons...hmm ) And of course, Flagler had to create a masterpiece just off the cuff. thanks guys, loving it!! Tight Lines!

Very detailed explanation. One of the best fly tying videos I've seen. Thanks.

Nice video. Very good information, but I'm learning my new unit. How and where do you find all of these settings you talk about changing ? Would have been good if you showed a unit and changing it on the unit to see where and how. Thanks

Hey Phil is this near Winnipeg?

Classic! Great pattern and tie!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Legend has it that this pattern will guarantee a 20lb Lahontan!

Thank you Phil. I just picked up a Helix 7 Si G4 to replace my old 698. I learned a lot, going to have to watch this a couple times. I never thought of using the zoom mode, and always had my scroll speed set slow since I was in a pontoon boat. I hope you do a few more of these on the mapping, as well as down and side imaging.

“Transducer placement is key”…but he never explained how to do it. Phil mentioned briefly it should be on the starboard side of the boat because of the way the prop spins. Is that correct?

TOH

works for crappie too.....

Very Nice!...I recall last spring dropping a similar experimental red butt purple/blue rib chironomid in 43 ft water & rewarded with instant success, so after destroying the few patterns I had & a great day , I was sure to tie up a few at Base Camp . Of course fish turned right off the following day with some unstable weather, but "Thats Fishin" I now add a coat of Sally Hansons over my Blue Light Cure.

What a terrific video!

Brilliant, thanks for the video.

Brilliant, cheers Phil.

Very good video, well filmed and detailed explanations 👍👍 Have you tried tying this pattern on #6 hooks for steelhead indicator nymphing?

I use my boat mostly for kokanee salmon fishing so when I'm locating fish using a wide scan would be beneficial but sometimes when I run it just seems like I'm not picking up fish on my screen. I also run a smaller Garmin at the back of the boat so I'm not always kicking my neck to see what I'm marking it seems like my Garmin marks more fish than the helix 7. What's the best way to set this up for kokanee trolling.

Great video, thanks guys… 👏

I would give a little more context in your videos phil.

I live in Northern BC, I have Helix 9 and a zero lines card. I know there is no the Lake Master cards for our part of Canada. Does the Navionics maps work with Humminbird

Excellent presentation and valuable information from Andrew. I have been using a Lowrance unit for the past season that has all the features of your Hummingbird unit but clearly have not been using it to it’s full potential. It’s great see what these units can do for a stillwater fly fisherman, so many of the instructional videos are geared towards bass fishing and to actually see chironomids showing up on the screen is amazing Hope there will be more to come covering down and side imaging

Does the Helix 7 have 16X Zoom? My Helix 5 only goes to 8X Zoom,

I wish my helix would mark fish in 6' of water

PERFECT

Phil you are a legend! will you please do a video of the fly rods you actually use.

would you tie this any smaller than a 12? Great tip to leave headroom!

Hi Phil, I tried to replicate this pattern but for the life of me I cant seem to get any 1/8 head turner past the hook bend of a size 10 Daiichi 4647...Do you have any tips? Thank you!

Which transducer do you recommend or use on small boats?

Hope you were wearing your brown pants when you seen that 😂

Thanks for doing this. Really struggling to see fish on my SI so looking forward to the next version with Side Imaging. Helix 5 G2 SI GPS unit. As a side note I've found that in AutoChart, if travelling too fast (over 10Kph) you can develop issues with mapping, at 10kph mapping works great. If that happens it is possible to "repair" the data via the unit itself, unless you've got a damaged motherboard (mine still works on most issues but no longer creates marks)

I learned so much. I have so many more questions. I missed the live show. Can I ask questions here in the comments?

I just buy a helix 5 g3 portable is there a video how to set it up properly

Two bacon sandwiches till dinner??! What about lunch?

Hey Phil, Great video. I just moved to the Elk Valley. Looking forward to hooking up on some of these behemoths. Oh, and the West Slope Cutties as well!

Great info thanks

Really good video. So many anglers either don't or aren't able to have multiple rods and reels with specialty lines. Would you consider a video of using less expensive options for different styles of presentations. I have just bought amsink tip to use with floating line for dredging retrieves. Although perhaps not as finesse as the sinking line you used, i believe (insert hope here) that I can replicate presentations to some level of replication tomwhat youmwere doing. Also mess8ng about with some different leader options for chironomid fishing. The very short butt section with straight mono to het the fly straight down works, but to minimize leaders, have found using a 9mfoot standard taper with a micro swivel and 5 foot of tippet works fine to about 10 feet and adding micro shot for deeper presentation has enabled longer casts...with challenges. Thank you for your videos as they are to the point and effective. Some videos talking about budget options and suggestions for us cheap buggers would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Awesome, Phil!!

I have been tying and using this one for years, really works well. thanks for sharing

Great looking fly!

Thanks Phil for the great patterns and the instruction. I appreciate the way you explain what to do, how to do it, and why. As a relatively new tier I find many of the videos I watch are just that--watching what someone does without fully understanding exactly how or why. Little things count.

Thank You 🎉 Phil …… Will attempt to fool the Finned - Ones with this pattern this Summer !! 🌟🎣💫

I love simple flies that work! Do you know how it got named?

I have tied this pattern for several years. Works great in the Cariboo.

Great pattern! I'm sure it will fish in moving water as well.

👍

Hey Phil , loved the video on your boat great setup, can you advise me where I can find one of the magnet transducer mounts for my boat , I have an aluminum 1448 Jon Boat and I really don't want to drill any holes in my hull or glue anything to it, again nice boat !!!

To me, Daphnia leech is an oxymoron...Daphnia being tiny crustaceans. It's an either/or.

Lots of great info! Thanks guys 👍

Hello Phil, here from the UK, just dropped on your video and I like the twist you put on the Marabou for the body. I've never thought of doing that and it makes the fly so much more bug like. I am definitely going to give these a go. They look the business. You explained the process very well and simple to follow. So thank you very much. I will let you know if I have success out on the still waters, Kind Regards Alan

Love it 👌
