Honestly cool on him for being open about the marketing malarky

So hackle gauges are worthless

Like the tip on using the scissors to hack excess materials away. As for hook sizing, your observations and recommendations regarding shank length and hook gape are on point. And.....why the hell would you even tie,or use, a size 30 fly?????? Great tying lesson for the hares foot fly. Thanks, Cheech.

I'm never gonna be a super good enough caster to throw that beast! omg I think I'm gonna quit altogether!

Hi, great video. I am a little confused between a hover and a midget tip. I've got a Rio hover. The running line floats, so is it basically a midget tip?

But what is the area under the hook gap?

Paraloop

Replacing the tooling to make all hooks the same size would cost millions, and likely, these companies couldn't survive off that deficit.

I was hoping you would talk about the echo lift...you kind of grazed over it and went to the echo techno......is the lift ok ? Appreciate your opinion.....

Larger hook gapes are not necessarily better, as you seem to imply, Cheech. What matters is the angle of penetration and how efficient it is. Datus Proper (What the Trout Said) has the goods on this issue.

Absolutely yes to using MM for hook sizing! If it’s good enough for my pants, it’s good enough for my flies!

Good tutorial, thanks a lot! 👍🏻

As a NEW(ER) tier, I love this series!! SO MUCH stellar information!!

Here to say the Douglas Era is 100% worth every penny of a $500 rod. I love mine.

Brilliant tip in tying the elk hair down

Great tip on hacking off material.

So of course pumping a trout's stomach will be the definitive way to determine what they are eating. However, as a surgeon, and fisherman, I cannot condone the practice of stomach pumping a fish. No matter how wet your hands are, how quickly you do the procedure, or how gently you think you are doing it, there are many ways that it can hurt the fish you presumably adore. You can rupture the organs. You keep the trout out of oxygenated water longer than a normal release. You suck out nutrients that the fish expended energy to eat. And, you stress that fish many more times than a simple water-borne catch and release. Get back to the "art" of fly fishing. This is not meant to be science. Even messing up the stream bed to do your netting is disruptive. Leave your pump at home and go out and enjoy the day like the rest of us, and don't take the chance of doing irreparable damage to these gorgeous animals. You are lucky if the animal cruelty zealots don't come after you for this.

Great song! Great band and a great looking streamer!

Good produc

Just false cast the water off.

I got a very important question. In my fly fish food order there was a smiley face drawn on the paper, does that mean I’m special?

Don’t trim the wing and call it the Don King midge! 😂

I'm constantly amazed by the generosity of spirit displayed in this community. It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket of support.✨

Great video, great pattern! How old did you say I’d be the next time these bugs hatch again?

Please make a video for a bead head jig hook pattern of this

Well done! 🙃

Cheechada's! I love and can't wait to make. :)

Very cool fly 🔥

Yeah, that Arthur I. Tiss guy is a cruel SOB!

Just moved to Utah from out east, went to college up in Idaho for 3 years and starting to explore all the places we can fish here it’s been a blast keep up the great videos lds brotha

Such a cool pattern unfortunately there’s no cicadas in Ireland 🇮🇪 Amazing how you guys come up with these patterns very impressive !!

Nice use of the d-rib - I also tied similar with micro-tubing with small wire threaded through it.

Money 🤘🏻

What an awesome caddis pattern, is it just me or are the recent Caddis patterns getting buggier and buggier? I love it!

What the name of that cdc tool that ur using ?

Отличная работа,класс👍

It is also a good dragonfly larvae (mudeye) imitation

$200 in tools to tie a Grasshopper. I don't think so...

You think you could interchange the silver bead for a nickel one?

Is there a way to use that Marabou technique to make a tail for a wooly bugger streamer ?

I learned a lot from this.

The Dungeon is a fly you absolutely want in lure box in New Zealand! I've trip some big brownies in place people would never have expected with that fly, when "traditional" lures would have just been ignored. Kelley Galloup gave us a monster when he tied this fly! Olive with a yellow body!

Oh man, I tried that ramp two bow entrance last week. Must’ve taken a sharper angle because I just about dumped us into the eddy! 😂

What size is the holographic tinsel. I looked at the link for the materials and it lists flashabou for the body not tinsel?

this is so interesting, want to do it with like height

Eh..... I'm not sure about those office labels. Seems like an easy way to lose one and watch all of the data fall into a cloud of mystery all over again. Maybe not if you use special bags to organize your reels but a tons of us just throw it in the backseat with the rest of our junk before an outing. I really think the info should be detailed somewhere 'on' the reel itself, or on the line itself. But in this case it also needs to hold up to the elements. I'm thinking oil pen? I wish there was a better way.

Thank you for experience of learning new dubbing styles! Was looking for this exact way for some flies I'm doing up for a friend 🙌

Excellent Threadfin Shad imitation. I would call that blue marabou a Turquoise blue.

Would love to see a video of how you carry your gear on the river.

One of your best tutorials. Having all the bobbins together really helps when comparing them. I've had turkey flats since I read AK Best's books, but rarely use them. Now I'll give them a try. Finally, the marabou wrapping sequence is a great help also. Do you ever use a dubbing loop to reinforce a marabou wrap?
