Thanks Javan, Thats why I put the videos up. If you need help let me know, but remember observation on the stream and your imagination are vital in tying flies that work. Just remember your proportions.
+Jim Misiura Thank you Jim! I have coworkers giving me furs for tieing and I have been using things like tortilla wrappers, and acid cigar wrappers (it's very reflective). I'm new at tieing and your videos help a lot! :D
Size and length of tail and bead size with a straight hook shaft are the keys. Copper is the most important color of all of the beads. You can reuse the copper beads by soaking them in white vinegar. Old stained beads effect the strike frequency. I use crystal flash instead of peacock for the wing casing. For 12 to 24 inch streams below a small strike indicator it's a sure every time. I don't have much luck with the Pheasant Tail in deeper water. He's using lead and I'll try that for deeper or swifter water.
For a guy who can't even tie his own shoes this was a good video for a first timer doing flies and it was easy to follow and listen to nice job Jim!

Favorite. This is one of 5 that is necessary:
Wooly bugger
Prince nymph
Pheasant tail
Adams
Elk hair Caddis
I've caught 95% of my fish on those 5.
Thanks that is a good lineup.
Love your videos Jim. Can these flies with bead heads be tied without the beads?
Yes they can simply leave the bead off. Still a great fly.
is silver fox good for flies
+Shawn Wilson Sure it is . use the belly hair for dubbing. The tail can be used for streamers.

Went to your site on Etsy they don’t have you three fly give away plus they charge for shipping.
Orders over $35 are free shipping I'm throwing in the extras myself. Just tell me what you want.
can you do a brown and cream dog nobbler?
Mark did you see the Dog Knobbler video.
Yes many thanks

Pat Egan Check out my playlist "Nymphs and Streamers" then let me know if you find what your looking for there. I'll be glad to tie something for you.

Thanks for the tip on reusing the beads.
Your work's immaculate Jim.
