My name is Geoff Johnston. I have been flyfishing for approximately 50 years, fly tying for approximately 45 years and was a fly fishing guide on my local rivers for many years before retiring.
This channel will, hopefully, be a catalogue of my fly fishing adventures with some instruction/tips and fly tying videos of some of the flies that I use.
I hope that you enjoy my videos and thanks for watching.

The Orange Spot Shrimp

'The Orange Spot Shrimp' is one of three hot spot shrimps that I use, mainly, for grayling. The other two are 'The Pink Spot Shrimp' and 'The Red Spot Shrimp'. They can all be effective in different conditions and depending on which colour that the fish tend to favour on any given day.

The Pink Tag Nymph can also be tied with an orange or red tag. I use it mainly as a grayling nymph, but I have also found it to be quite effective for trout, especially when the river is carrying some colour. I hope that you like it and, if you try it, I hope that it works for you. Dressing: Hook: Sizes 12 - 16 Kamasan B175 Bead: 3.5 Gold Tungsten bead Extra weight: 1mm strip of Veniard Adhesiv...
The 'Orange Shrimp' - Fly Tying with Geoff Johnston
Переглядів 9383 роки тому
This fly, which I've always known as my 'Orange shrimp' is one of my favourite grayling bugs. After checking my fishing diary I discovered that I've been using this fly since about the year 2000, so it's managed to hold it's place in my fly box for about 20 years. It's been a very productive fly for me over the years, especially in October and November. Dressing: Hook: Sizes 10 & 12 - Kamasan B...

Post-lockdown on the river
Переглядів 6754 роки тому
The enforced break from our beloved sport was a tough one to bear for many of us 'fishaholics'. So it's been great to get back on the water and to hit some decent hatches. They haven't been prolific, but we've seen a good mix of our seasonal upwings making a show since the lockdown was relaxed. We've also seen a fair amount of Aphids, Midge, a few Beetles and some Black Gnat hitting the water -...

The Blue Winged Olive (BWO) Dun - Fly Tying with Geoff Johnston
Переглядів 19 тис.4 роки тому
The Blue winged Olive Dun is one of the dries that I employ during a hatch of BWO's on our waters. The underbody is trimmed to allow the fly to sit on the water, so that the fan-shaped mix of hackle and EP fibre wing, hopefully, creates a similar footprint to the natural. This fly can be tied in a variety of sizes and colours to mimic different species of upwings. Dressing: Hook: Kamasan B405 o...
The Klinkhamer (The Big Klink) - Fly Tying with Geoff Johnston
Переглядів 1,5 тис.4 роки тому
This is my version of the Klinkhamer, or as I like to call it 'The Big Klink' The reason I call it that is because I rarely fish in any other size than a size 10. At this size I find it a great fly when speculating in prospective areas with a dry, and it is my 'go to' fly when suspending a nymph below it to fish New Zealand dropper, Duo, Dry Dropper, Klink and Dink or whatever you may choose to...
Midge Emerger - Fly tying with Geoff Johnston
Переглядів 44 тис.4 роки тому
This 'Midge Emerger' has proved quite effective for me when used to imitate emerging midge and/or crippled midge that are trapped in the meniscus and being picked off by the trout.

Shuttlecock Midge - Fly tying with Geoff Johnston
Переглядів 2,4 тис.4 роки тому
The 'Shuttlecock Midge' is a relatively basic fly and easy to tie, it's tied to suggest the emerging/hatching midge hanging in or below the meniscus and it can be a very effective fly when trout are concentrating on these tiny morsels. Dressing: Hook: Size 18 - 20 Kamasan B980 Thread: Black 8/0 UNI-Thread Thorax: Black Dubbing (e.g. Rabbit or Awesome Possum) Shuttlecock: CDC feathers My name is...

This is great! I’m just learning to use CDC in my fly tying. This was really helpful. I think I can do it! Thanks.
Well made!
Beautiful tying Sir and beautifully presented 👏👏
very nice video. Can you tell me the name of the music?
Sorry, it's a few years since I did it and I can't remember, pretty sure it was some that came free with my video editing software.
@@geoffjohnstonflyfishing no problem and thank you for the reply.
google say it is I am by Paul D Vogt
Beautiful 👌
作り方が、カゲロウに良く表れていますね!最高の毛鉤です。
Geoff, nice fly. It's so much easier tying from back to front: tail, rib, body, case, & thorax.
Certainly looks as if it will take wild brown trout anywhere, super looking fly.👍
Wonderful video!
Lovely neat fly thank you
Excellent tying of this pattern.
Just subscribed, Excellent fly and presentation which should fish well down-under in NZ. I Will tie a few up for tomorrow on the Waioeka River. Much appreciated.
Even with twisting the glo-Brite, how durable can the floss be against trout teeth?
Nicely done
Excellent tying
will this pattern work on still waters? and what time of year is best to fish it please?
It was tied for the river, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work on stillwaters.
@@geoffjohnstonflyfishing best time of year to fish it please?
@@trevorluft6032 Spring
@@geoffjohnstonflyfishing thank you.
And it floats with that big hook and only 2 CDC feathers and a bulky thorax??
Nice fish mate where did you catch it?
Very nice looking fly. Well tied and explained. Thank you for sharing.
Short and clean, excellent pattern. L 👍🎣👍
Hi Geoff; from Canada,Alberta. Just a few notes. Your right Geoff, this fly was very hard. Although I am a beginner it took me 1 hr. to finish it, however, I did it and it looks great... Thankyou for the pattern .. I will make more ,just not right now. I bookmarked your site and will visit it again. Thankyou.
Excellent looking fly and simple to tie. Looks like a good floater.:-)
I love all spiders. Beautiful tying. :-)
The lockdown and isolation has taught me, patience and attention to detail like yours is a fly tying virtue. Thanks for the lesson. Cheers
Admiring your work 😍
A very nice tying indeed. really nice presentation. I love spiders. :-)
Fantastic pattern, great technique......... Thank you for sharing this.......
Very interested in tying flies, I'm in Central Oregon. Appreciate the video. I shall subscribe! Keep it up! Tight lines.... Gotta hit that 1k.
Nice job 🇺🇸
Tied a few of these up for next season , good way of tying in the cdc feathers🎣🎣🎣
Muy buena👍👍👍
I love this pattern!! Thanks for sharing!!👍
'yer doin the trout dirt, seriously smart fly.
Nice way of tying the CDC in. Better than wrestling with 3 or 4 feathers in one go.
Couldn't agree more
Интересное решение с телом!
Love your patience and attention to detail of your dressing. An example to all, especially the young!

thanks for a great presentation of this video, I am tying a few of these, takes a bit of practice to get the proportions , but its a great pattern
Great nymph well done
Nice looking fly
Out here in Oregon, that would work great in a size 16 or 18 to imitate the blue winged olive mayflies. Nice work!
That's one very nice fly verry good job
Lovely demonstration, thanks Geoff, can't wait to try it on my local trouts!
Really nice fly. Do you use any float ant on this when you fish it Thx.
Nice nymph 👏 👏
Enjoyed the lesson thank you sir
That a very good looking fly can you tell me what other bubbling work if you don't have the right ones
Nice little fly
That’s one nice looking fly. Thank you for sharing your techniques. Cheers
Great spider fly I tie one similar
Reminds me of a lake wet that I can't remember how to spell it. It is only hen hackle for the fly. No body just hen hackle with different colors.
Think it might be a Loch Ordie that you're thinking of… :-)
@@carlwaine5263 yes that is exactly what I was thinking of
@@ColinD0131but a very very sparser version 👍
