Ben Hall Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 These patterns are known as a "Gamechanger". They are very time consuming to tie but so worth it. As for flies I don't think there's many patterns that look and swim as close to the real thing as a Gamechanger. Most in pictures are the 5 inch size with one being 6 inch. If you haven't seen this pattern they will blow you mind, and for me a must have in your box. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingie chaser Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 You have that one down pat Ben, they all look pretty identical to me Is there a target for that style?? One of the guys I watch on youtube does some water footage of the stuff he ties & its really interesting to see them in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Hall Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hey Kingie chaser The main target for these flies for me is Jewfish. I would also cast them for big Flathead over the flats. I learnt the pattern from Chris Adams from Ammo Flies who has some unreal videos of the fly underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flycamp Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Seriously impressive flies. How long have you been tying for Ben? I’d like to get started and interested in the learning curve. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple of suppliers that I buy my materials from that also make videos that can help you tie some of the different patterns, so look up Beastbrushes.com or BWC flies. I wouldn't start with the likes of a Gamechanger, the first fly most start with is a Clouser. Just want to let you know it can be highly addictive especially when you start catching fishing on flies you've tied yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 How long are those flies in the pictures Ben and what size rod/line do you use? bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Hall Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Just now, big Neil said: How long are those flies in the pictures Ben and what size rod/line do you use? bn Most are 5 inches long and one is 6 inch. For me you could cast the 5 inch on a 8wt but I'm normally fishing for Jewfish with these flies so I fish them on my 10wt outfit. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
