Making a Realistic Brook Trout Fly!
This was a fun tie inspired by Stan Mackerwicz; you can find his Facebook page here ( / 100002962767980 ) and even buy a few! While this one is a little over the top to fish, it was a blast to tie and will look great in my tying room! Also, thank you all for following along over the last few years! Never did I think a fly tying channel would have so much interest, yet here we are! Best of luck in the giveaway; I’ll be drawing it in a few weeks, and as always, I’ll see you in the next one with some more practical fly patterns!
Best,
Jesse R.

Edit- After a CRAZY amount of requests this fly is now for sale. If you want one you can reach out to me here (mainelyoutdoors18@gamil.com) they are not cheap as they take a lot of time and materials to create. Also as a note it's intended for art because the halos will fall off after a few fish and the hard fins are likely to cause spin. But hey if you want one for the wall nows your chance!

Spectacular looking design to choose
"Fun to tie"
Flies. Great videos.
Would you be willing to sell some of these beautiful flies!? Omg so friggen cool
I tried the fb link and said page wasn’t available 😢
i would be sick to my stomach to loose this fly..
I would definitely be tying multiple of same kinds
Same
I don't fly tie, I don't fly fish, I don't even fish, but I do like to watch . . . your videos
Very cool, happy you still enjoy them! If you ever get the chance give it a try some time, even if its just for the art of it
Brookies are the Wood Ducks of trout, and you captured it elegantly. Thats just beautiful.
Thats a good analogy
Man was really hoping for a giveaway with this one.. I wouldn’t be able to tie this bad boy in a million years 😂
Lol seriously!😂
Lol
😂😂think you speak for all off us
I was hoping this was a silent fly tying video….
I know, I'll do another like it and give that one away. I was getting a sentimental feeling about this one so decided not to
That is hands down the coolest pattern I’ve ever seen. Well done sir 👏
I'm a big streamer fisher, and this fly you have tied is the magnum opus of streamers. I'd be too scared to lose it on a snag! Love it! #flies
bro if i snagged it i would be taking my shoes and waders off and going for a swim
Your videos are the reason I started tying my own #flies instead of buying them! Thanks for all the great patterns and content you post, especially your attention to audio!
Its hard to tie flies now without hearing "...and snip the excess free" You've outdone yourself with this incredible piece of art. Well done. Congrats on the mile stone - its very well deserved. #Flies
Spot on with the realism! It’s amazing watching this channel start with simple latex worm grubs, to life-like trout patterns! Thank you for posting! Tight lines my friend! 😎🎣
I never got into fly fishing and tying, but absolutely respect the activity as a bass fisherman. This fly here is absolutely beautiful and admirable. An absolute art form. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Looks like one of those flies you dont realize you screwed up until youre halfway through with a pound of material and a half hour of time...or a day if youre me. Really enjoying youre channel. I dont really mess with flies outside of steelhead which is coming to a close, but im addicted to it now and needed a hobby...preferably a cheaper one but oh well lol
Congratulations on the numbers.... Im new to the channel in the past year but I've learned so much from watching you and this is by far the best looking I've seen you or anyone else tie yet
Congratulations on 250,000 subscribers. My children and I tie flies based on many tricks and tips you have shown on this channel. Thank you for keeping us all very entertained, and showing us how to tie realistic and very usable flies. #flies
Cool fly, congrats on all the success! Your fly patterns are always interesting and easy to follow. Thanks for the content
This is the single most amazing and beautiful fly that I have ever seen!
This is a really cool pattern that I’ve seen Stan post many times. He ties some really cool ultra realistic fly patterns that’d I’d love to try out. #flies
That's for sure when I first saw It I knew I had to tie it! His is more practical than this. This one is more for show
This is beyond cleverly done. such a great job...
I stared fly fishing with my dad at 9 years old. Ever since then I have fly fished and fly tied every chance I get. There is something about seeing a big trout grab a dry fly that you tied. It what’s keeping me fly fishing, this is an incredible fly! You earned 250 000 subs in every way! Keep up the good work! #flies
I don't think I could bear to tie something as beautiful and throw it around out here around the northern pike just to get destroyed!
congrats on 250 subs! I love your work, I have caught lots of fish using your flies, keep it up!
I've learned a lot abouf fly tying and have improved a ton since I started a yearish ago from these videos. I think this one may still be a bit beyond me, for now. Appreciate all the tutorials and the podcasts you've put out man! #flies
@MainelyFlies i have been following you for the past year and recreateing all your flys that I can, i just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to make Flies.
Just when I thought you were a true fly artist already. Incredible
Wow Best Fly I've Ever Seen, Well Done!
That is too beautiful to fish with. This is and other equally beautiful #flies are a work of art.
This isn't fly tying, Its art. this should be in a museum or somewhere on display
Nice. 4:41 I would run the wire tag end back to hook and wrap it again. But super glue might be good enough. Great work!
Inventive and way to make fins. Beautiful fly. Would probably fall apart in two false casts though. Keep it for display and a testament to your tying abilities. 😁
What a fly, I am in a fly fishing class at my school and learning to tie flies and fish. This is definitely a fly Ill wanna tie one day. It's insane that the channel is at 250k already🎉 Thanks for all the videos, they have inspired me to get into fly fishing and I really enjoy all the cool flies you tie!❤ #flies
Absolutely stunning. After watching so many of your videos, I'm considering trying to use similar techniques to make myself a commemorative pin, in honor of my late dad, who loved tying #flies. Your videos have made me think I can make something at least roughly resembling a fly, even as a total beginner ❤
Thank you! Thats a great idea and no matter how it turns out I'm sure he would have appreciated it. Hope you do give it a try and very sorry to hear about your loss.. However, on a lighter note you won! Congrats, what you'll need to do is shoot me a message here (mainelyoutdoors18@gmail.com). Just title it "Brook Trout Winner" to help me make sure the right person gets it. Once I hear from you I'll have to delete this as I tend to get 10 messages from people claiming they won.
@@MainelyFlies thank you so much! I've sent you an email!
Man 250k that’s amazing!!! Honestly I’m surprised though. You are so informative and one of the best tiers I’ve seen. And this tie is just another example of your talent. Thanks and congrats!! #flies
Really awsume pattern Jesse - Stan Mackerwicz may have been the inspiration (I had to go check it out) for the Brooke pattern but you really made it your own. Definitely a Mainly Realistic Brooke Trout Fly! I might be able to tie it but it might look more like a Goby (#flies) when I was done. I volunteer at the VA with Project Healing Waters fly tying, teaching fly tying to fellow disabled vets twice a month sessions- I started out 13 -14 years ago learning as a Veteran myself. Its really rewarding. Been doing it all that time twice a month except during Covid. If I would have put that effort into You Tube I might have a third of the subscribers. I really enjoy your channel watched many of them even the 1-2 hour ones. Congrats on your milestone I'm glad I'm part of it. I NEVER leave comments but always Like - Subscribe - and Save my favorites like this one.
Didn’t expect it to turn out that way. Way better than I would have ever thought! Very cool fly 👍 #flies
One of the coolest flies I have ever seen tied. Well done pal. Would love to see this guy underwater in the future. #Flies.
I've rarely seen such a beautifull fly, it's almost something that you go in a museum than being used XD i'm impressed really #flies
What a fly!! Amazing my friend.
Wow that looks freaking amazing 😮
That fly is amazing
That's not a FLY it's a FRY! (Joking, It looks amazing!)
Absolutely beautiful! I would absolutely love to see this under water
Thanks for the materials needed to try and re-create that pattern! I would probably just make one to put on display. That would be a fun one to tie on a cold winter day sitting by the fire. #Flies
No problem, Its definitely a project! Think it took me 1-2 hours with all the material prep. Those halos were very tedious
@@MainelyFlies I bet!! Awesome video!
More like an art piece. Wouldn't want to risk losing it.
That’s a piece of art. Not sure I would throw it as such.
#flies got out of tying probably 20 years ago your vids helped get me back on the wagon new vise is on its way thank you
This is an insanely beautiful and equally complicated fly. I'd be scared to fish it, but you're right that it would look great on a shelf. #Flies
I don't think this one will ever see the water. It's a good memory but not exactly built for durability, as I forgot to tie in the side feathers, and the blue halos will surely drop off after 1-2 catches. I also think the hard fins would cause some spinning as well. Nonetheless, it was a very fun tie!
That's an unbelievable pattern. You are a true artist and master of your craft. #flies
As a fly tier I’ll have to tie a couple of these up just for fun . Thanks for sharing this with us .
Absolutely, have fun!
great streamer !! Going to try tying one.
Awesome tie, I love the beauty that God created in the Brook trout. Fly on!
FYI… Rod Haig-Brown at the start of one of his books, talks about the carnivorous nature of brook trout. He mentions when he was a young river rat how he released a small slightly damaged trout, to see it get engulfed by a larger trout in the pool. I read that years ago and knew from experience that some of my best spoons, spinners and flys had colouration similar to a small trout. Some anglers will know that is places where bait fish are scarce, and trout are plentiful that lures that attract larger fish mimic small trout. Large trout are very carnivorous. The beautiful streamer you are tying might not catch a lot of small fish, definitely a large fish fly. I would love to have that streamer out in big water, gets the adrenaline pumping thinking about it.
Дуже вразила Ваша майстерність! На такий стрімер шкода ловити, їм треба милуватись😊...Дякую за відео!
You inspired me to start tying #flies and it has been so fun for me. Congratulations on the milestone!!!
Awesome tie! I think I’ll give it a try!
Congrats on the big milestone! Love this fly! Personally, Brooks are the best looking trout. Love this pattern so much. #flies
This Looks AWESOME
#Flies, It’s always a treat to watch you work the threads. Love the Brook trout.
This one was sick🔥🔥🔥
I had to see this one again here in Canada we have bull trout and they like kocanee I have seen crude flies made of white rabbit fur still watching😊#flies
I’ve been fly fishing very casually for a few years but it wasn’t until I seen one of your videos last year that I picked up a beginner set and started to my own #flies, and the first fly I tied was your wooly bugger. Congrats on the 250k!!
That's awesome! Great to hear you picked it up and hope you continue to enjoy it!
@@MainelyFlies I do, it’s very relaxing, and much more rewarding when I catch a fish on a fly I tied!
It definitely is!
Beatiful fly!! It just proves that there is an artistic side to flytying. #flies
I love watching you tie, it's amazing to watch you create this art. #flies
The first one I'd make of that, I'd have to keep as artwork. The second one, I'd make I'd send to fly tying contests (if I can find any). The third one, I'd try fishing with. And that long shank, I need some of those because that'd open up a whole world of patterns. Thank you for the video.
That would be cool I haven't really heard of any other than small IG contests. Might want to make the fins soft on the fishing one and add some weight under the shank to keep it from spinning. Also, if you find some 9x let me know hard to find them now. These were from my grandfathers collection that was passed to me
@@MainelyFlies Ok, will do. Thank you for sharing.
This is beautiful, i will definitely make one!
Outrageous job. Beautiful work
#flies love it man!!! I enjoy trying to tie some of your simpler flies with the materials I have be cause I can't buy all the right ones😂 my box is currently overflowing with my scrappy renditions of your flies and others, hope I win😂 also its my birthday in a couple of days! Hoping to get out and do some fishing
Fries. Love your channel. Love this fry pattern
When i start tieing ima try this 😍
I love this channel. I tie alot of bass jig and a few flies. It's amazing what you can do! #flies
#Flies !! So awesome, I am going to have to get some materials to try this out! Thanks soo much for showing us this, I enjoy tying and dont even fish so this is right up my street! Congrats on your well earned subscriber milestone!
No problem, this is a great one for you! You can definitely make some interesting flies using this as inspiration. I'll be doing some more artistic flies as I find inspiration for them.
This was awesome!
Nice shadow box fly, I can only imagine how bad it would foul and you would probably NEVER sink that hook in a thousand "sets"!
I hope to tie as elegantly as you do someday. Thanks again for the content sir. #flies
I have absolutely loved these videos and used them as tutorials many times and caught tons of fish very inspiring #flies
Being a Canadian West Coast anglers not many Brownies to eat Brookies in our area but i think a few changes in ingredients to the material list would get Bull Trout to kill this fly. Nice tie, will try this one out. Thanks
Impressive pattern.
This is more art than it is fly tying! Another awesome video! #flies
Love watching you tie, keep it up and congrats on 250k! #flies
Congratulations on the 250K. I've always found your videos helpful and fun to watch! #flies
Thank you! Plenty more to come!
I've watched your short videos for a while. This is my first full episode! #flies
Wow😳😳😳what a ty!! That’s beautiful!! Tight lines🐜🐛🕷️!!!! #flys!!
I’ve never seen a more realistic fly before, great job! # flies
#Flies that is a work of art there. a fine display piece, would almost be afraid to loss it fishing but then knowing you bagged a monster of a fishbon this would make it worth it all.
Definitely just art, I wouldn't recommend fishing this one. The fins will probably cause it to spin not to mention the 1-2 hours it took to prep and tie in the materials. Although I'm sure it would work... now I'm debating fishing it on my other channel for a video.
#Flies In the delicate dance between man and nature, discovering the beauty in the artisanal creation of a simple fishing fly is remembering that even in the smallest and seemingly insignificant thing, lies the power to inspire admiration and deep connection with our environment. 😍
This #flies to the top of my list of best Mainly fly videos.
#flies I really enjoy your videos. Your narrative is concise and to the point... and understandable. This was my favorite so far.
Awesome Piece of art #flies keep up the great work 🎣🎣🎣
It is so satisfying to see how you tie flies! #flies
Definitely artwork ❤️✌️👍
Definitely the coolest fly I’ve seen- awesome job! #flies
#flies that has to be the most beautiful fly I have ever seen. Great work.
that is one of the most beautiful streamer patterns i have ever seen, if i had the chance to use one of those for bass i would #flys
Хорошая идея - хорошая работа 👍
#files I have always enjoyed watching you tie flies, as a long time fly fisherman and fishing lover your videos have always brought me a sense of peace
Awesome pattern, I just got into fly fishing and am yet to catch something. Love your content.#flies
Crazy to think you could lose this fly on the first cast. It is beautiful though good job!
Happy to be a part of the journey! #flies
#flies That fly is truly a work of art. It is absolutely stunning. Well done sir and keep up the amazing work!
That thing looks crazy! The flies I bought off of you are great! #flies
#Flies Ill be working in RMNP for a few months and have been watching your videos in preparation for weekends and off time fly fishing. Ive been challenging myself to utilize fly material from the older tying kits I have but its been too tempting to go and purchase various colors of dubbing, latex and other plastic materials. Thank you for your wisdom!
