Great video, Brian. I was particularly interested in the design aspects of keeling flies. As, now, I am primarily a bass and saltwater flyfisher and flytyer; tying flies that ride properly is important.
Lots of good information in the Q&A. I'm with you on the flash, a little is good but too much is too much. I'm camped at a place this summer that has a couple of small lakes, many would call the ponds, with at least of few bass in them. An then there is a medium sized creek that runs through the property that look like small mouth heaven to me. I haven't been able to fish the river/stream yet and I'm just starting to figure out the lake but it look like it might be a fun summer. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
As usual Brian, you crushed this. I agree that flash should be part of the fly and not the focal point. And there are times when plain flies with no flash slay fish. Please keep these videos coming brother.
(I’m Chadwesty) Awesome Brian, thanks for elaborating on the flash question I asked! Looking forward to learning how to properly keel in one of your upcoming videos 😅
Great video. I agree with the sparkle. I use it to add an accent. In my home waters they see enough of bass pros tackle shop so I tend to use natural or muted colors and accent with a little flash. And, Best answer ever...."I happen to marry a solid chic."
To chase that sweet, sweet sales growth maybe. These guys put some dots on a feather and you idiots strap on those ortho shoes to charge in and buy it up at a 20% premium. NGL, it hurts to see our community always buying into ignorant gimmicks. So strange how tying nowadays magically parallels the cost of a new fly. Wonder why that is?
If you use anything besides homemade hooks, feathers from chickens you raise, thread you spin yourself, and dubbing from dryer lint.......you are one of us idiots.
How about doing a video on budget materials, free or almost free. All this flashy stuff from the fly shop is too expensive, and a lot of it catches more fishermen than fish. Showcase some budget materials and sources.
WOW! This was an Awesome video. Thanks for all you do Brian. Keep them coming.

Definitely! A full keel video will be coming soon.

Thanks for the answer about the dinosaur Brian😂

This is a great video, it’s crazy how far fly tying has come over the past few years.
It really is crazy, isn't it!?!?

I think spey casting will become more mainstream along with electronic sound makers for lures.
This was a good one!
Thanks!
Please make a simple, "simple" sand worm

MFC is doing super cool stuff, for sure!
I noticed a lot of your flies having chartreuse. Would you recommend it that color almost all the time?
I love Chartreuse, it works well blended with other colors and is a serious staple.
