This Ugly Fly Catches GIANT: Tying The Complex Twist Minnow
As I'm prepping my fly box for this season, one of the species that come into my mind is the exclusive bull trout. These fish hold a pretty special spot in my heart because many of these big bull trout are tuck deep into the backcountry and finding these guy usually come along with experiencing the and finding that most beautiful area I've ever been to.
These trout as well as many other predatory fish like to sit in deep and slow water, which is why I tie a dumbbell eye version of the complex twist bugger in order for a fly to sink hook point up to minimize snag as well as sink faster than its cone head or bead counter part.
Tie these fly in White, Olive, Pink, or any colour of your choice, let it sink, and await that powerful tug.
Material list:
Any straight eye streamer hook of your choice (Preferably with a wide gap)
UV polar chenille (or any polar chenille)
Saddle hackle or shlappen
Marabou
Dumbell eye (I use medium for a size 2-6 hook, if you go bigger you should oversize your eye as well because sink rate is extremely crucial)
Here's a shorter version of the tie: • Fly tying: A complex t...

Good job!👌 Good looking streamer! Subbed from Rosins post to hopefully help you grow! I also tie on youtube. Tight lines TH! Steve✌️
I like using popper hooks for this type of flies. It puts the eyes in direct line with the shank of the hook and still turns them over really well.
That’s cool! I was in a rush to prep for trip so I use what I have, I also tie these something w jig hook but I like this version better for bully
ummmmmmmmmmm...thats a jig!
It is a jig… but not rlly…Jig fly lol
Agee 100% that dumbell eyes are a pain to use.
Lol, superglue is my secret to secure them 🤣 sadly there isn’t an alternative if I want this fly to sink faster
@@THFlyFishing cone head and lead wire wrap.
@@iancollings5047 in my experience, I find they sink a lot slower compare to dumbbell eye, maybe not enough lead lol
Include the hook make, size (from that we can then proceed with alternate hook) and thread in your material list. Organize the list in the order the materials are tied in.
Thank you for the feedback! I will edit the list soon and in future video. Originally I wanted to keep the material list basic with missing info to encourage people to experiment w colour, hook type, and maybe even material.
