The Angel Hair baitfish is one of the hottest saltwater fly patterns on the East Coast for stripers and albacore, but it is also a great realistic pattern for Pacific predators as well. Captain Nate Stansberry demonstrates how to tie this fly. For more saltwater fly fishing tips, check out www.OregonFlyFishingBlog.com.

Hi Dave
Watching you tying flys brings back happy memories of watching my grandad tying ready for a great fly fishing session down at chalk springs in Arundel West Sussex.

Did this fly ,found it easy to ,great thanks dave
Hello David, You mention all the materials being used to include gold beads. What size are the gold beads and are they tungsten material?
I really enjoy your lessons, trollin47
what kind of vise are you using ?
I am afraid to get one, and then learn that it’s the one that is not so user friendly …
& a big thanks fom me to !

the peacock hearl give the fly a nice luminecient glow. Chenille would work, but underwater, it looks a lot duller.
or you could use yarn instead of chenille?
why not?
@urbanflyguide not really, mushmouth uses a soft glue that penetrates the wing and tail, there’s a video on here somewhere of dave tying it
this is much a sparser and lighter fly
some say potato, others say pototo. you say tomotoe, who likes tomatoes
That’s the tucan sam! credit due
@urbanflyguide
Totally.

That is a great pattern. I think that I am going to tie a variant for the rivers here in SW Michigan for Smallmouth. Yellows and Greens should work for a perch imitation. Thanks for the pattern. Keep up the great work!
Awesome fly, thanks for the video. Who makes those eyes and where can we get them? They look way more realistic than most others I’ve seen / used!
great vid!! i tied the fly while watching this video
Great vid! Thanks for sharing. Have you tried using the wader repair cement instead of the epoxy glue? The type you get to set with an UV light? Really works so good and sets much quicker! Again thanks! 5*
I have the same material as you.
I cannot tame the angel hair – mine is unkempt looking;
Also, I can’t get the material to come out that long – there is no way I can double the material over and get the fly that long.
Any tips?
fantastic looking fly thanks for sharing the pattern
