Using rope mylar style

[Fatman]

This is some green chartreuse rope I have so I cut some and pulled the core out of it. Used some black tipped zonker strip for the tail and tied it mylar style. Flipping it over is a pain in the butt, finally got it to work and it came out pretty nice - used a black sharpie on top of it.

Sweet looking. Not sure what tying "Mylar style" is Butd like to hear the process minus the zonker strip. Never used those material.
Great work Doug

Thanks Lost - here's a video how how to tye with the tubing this guy makes a really good pattern. You can fast forward to where he ties it in but the whole thing is worth a look.

An interesting tie FM.

Did gar fishing ever cross your mind for this tie?

 

[Fatman]

Thanks Pup!! and no gar!!LOL I don't think we have any up here in Vermont - I 'd have to check

Nice flies!! Thanks for the video, it was good! I have Mylar coming with one of my orders.

 

[Fatman]

Thanks BK - don't try tying fast with mylar it can unravel quick!!!LOL

 

[Bkabina]

Thanks for the heads up. Never used it before. I'm excited to see what I can come up with.

Watch the video and fast forward to the mylar part. That's turning it inside out, you can also slip it on the hook
Here's a couple of mine, carefully slip it on the hook tie it off add the hackle collar. The more the mylar unravels fishing the more wavy the tails. OR you can restart your thread near the tail and tie it down, your choice

I watched the video a couple times.
Nice ties!! I really like that black one.

Thanks - the more you work with it the easier it gets.
