In this clip master two-handed caster and steelheader Dec Hogan ties one of the most classic Spey patterns, "The Mahoney." This video is excerpted from "Steelhead Flies: Tying Classics" (Reese Almond Productions, 2 DVD set, 240 minutes), in which Dec Hogan and Marty Howard take viewers step-by-step through tying Speys, Dees, wets, dries, marabous, muddlers and prawns.
Excerpt: "Fly patterns that really get my juices flowing are Spey flies and derivatives of the Spey flies and Dee flies. Long flowing hackles. Simple elegance, if you will. They're just beautiful, beautiful flies. And a gentleman by the name of Syd Glasso several decades ago brought them to steelhead fishing in America."
