    This is absolutely my top producing fly pattern in the Northeast - nothing out fishes it ! Like nothing!!!

    The king of nymph patterns 👑
    When that pattern doesn't work I know I'm on for a ball breaker day.
    I like a turn of cdc at the head, I feel it improves the fly.

    Your channel has cost me at least $700. Since I subscribed, I bought a new vise and all the materials I need just to realize that it is A LOT harder than you make it look. I can tie a mean Zebra Midge, though!

      Appreciate you hanging around this place ! You will get better with time and practice as you build the muscle memory. The two things that will make you a great tier are thread control and proportions . Took me awhile for that to happen haha

      Just keep at it. It will get much easier over time. It helps if you can find a buddy that is into fly tying that can give you some in person help along the way.

      @@AboutTrout Say no more. Those proportions and then timing your thread wraps to have enough taper when you get back to the other end. I'm getting there and I'm sure all my flies will fish, but some are ugly. A lot like me, I guess, lol. Thanks for the great videos!

    You are on a roll with awesome fly tying vids - thanks! I like how you used the Sulky Shimmer to create/maintain/produce the taper - a tip I will add to my game. Know that I appreciate you sharing the guide flies.

  • @greenwoodsbushhogging6704

    Watching trout guys fly tie, I can understand how they keep materials for years and years. I bet a buck tail could be passed down for generations if you only tied nymphs with it.
