Tying Video: Galloup's Articulated Peanut Envy

[Brian Wise]

Aren't guides supposed to guide, not fish?

It's the off season....The winter videos tend to be a little more on the "weak" side because I am actually FISHING. I love winter.....

I wanted to ask, what brand+model is the keeled hook?

Thanks,

It is a Dai Riki 700B. Not the biggest fan of Dai Riki for streamers but for this little guy it works well.

These are seriously Fantastic. I LOVE tying and fishing galloups stuff. I saw somewehre earlier your planning on doing the barely legal, IS that still the case. I have been working on tying that fly but can't quite get it right and want to know what I"m doing wrong as I can't find a SBS anywhere.

Thanks! I am having fun doing them.

Will probably do the Fat Head next and follow that up with some of the others. I will probably do a Barely Legal.....but no promises that it will be "exactly" like Galloup's. As you can tell, I have tweaked all of the patterns a touch anyway (mostly hook choice) but it will be close.

The good thing about tying is even if it doesn't look exactly like the pattern that you are imitating......it will still catch fish, guaranteed.

Love both the Dungeon and Peanut Envy vids. Tied up some white ones and started a yellow one last night. Shedding blood for tying, you are a true 'fanatic.'

Glad to see these videos fire some of you guys up to tie some of these things. With the fish we have been catching on the NFOW with them, I hope the winter video fires you up to FISH them!!

I would call shedding blood for tying simply me being clumsy....but fanatic sounds better.

I am going to shoot the Fat-Head and Barely Legal tonite. I am guiding quite a bit coming up so it may be next week before I get done editing those but I would say to look for the Fat-Head video next week. After those I think I am going to start on Mike Schmidt's patterns like the Double Deceiver, Meal-Ticket, Vodoo Squatch, and the like. REALLY excited about doing the Double Deceiver...THAT is going to be a cool video.

Doing some of Mike Schmidt's patterns would be awesome.
