I've watched this a few times to get the hang of it. I've not got real good eyes, at 63. But I love tyeing ( for a year now ) your video's are very informative. Thank you for dharein
Thank you Brian I really needed help understanding how to use this material. I am a old time flytyer (67years old).
I stopped fishing and tying about 30 years ago so i could raise my son and daughter, back then there was about 95% feathers and fur for tying flies.
So when I started tying again about a year ago when my daughter said "Hey Daddy why dont you take me fishing" then looked on line for tying material I was like What all this crazy synthetics out there. Lazer dub caught my eye fast for smal minnow flies but didnot know where to start. I was watching your video and Bam you tied up a small bait fish minnow and that was a perfect tie.
Thanks again Brian you helped a old tier get back some of the passionfor tying.....and you are a hoot to watch.
So good to hear! Thanks for watching!
I love that Laser dub in a dubbing loop!!!!!
So far, still like your clouser with gills so far! Enjoying your tips!!
As someone just starting to use lazer dub,I really appreciate the video and tips.
And would like to see more smaller articulated streamers
Thanks for watching, John. Over the last year or so I have been tying some small flies in the tying videos.
Magnum Lazer dubbing is awesome!!
Great video!
Hi, great video. I love this material, as you said, it's possible to make anything you want. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great tutorial and a fantastic material!
FANTASTIC information!!!
I really like the occasional videos of materials uses and methods as well as other information. I love watching all the different flies, methods and recipes but I like to deviate from original recipes and try my own. Videos like this one helps me thinks of different uses of materials. Thanks
FANTASTIC comment! Thanks for watching!
Our crew just started tying our own flies and I think our most common phrase is "pull up that B. Wise video" haha
Niiiice!!
Keep up the great work Brian!
Thanks! Will do!
Craft and dollar store material options. Thank you for your content
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful. Thank you
Killer video bud keep up the good work
The little minnow pattern in shed colors works great this time of year. And by the way great video thanks for posting
Thanks, Mike!
Great info as usual Brian! 🤙
Thanks, Adam!
Dude, guess I've been living under a rock! because I just found your channel, awesome videos, great information and in a wacky sort of fun entertaining way "YOU" very informative! just burned through a few and can't wait to have time to sit and watch more. Off to cook dinner, catch you later. Thank You.
Thanks for watching!!
Very helpful info. I struggle with some of the synthetics and this gives me hope. Being fairly new to tying (barely 2 years with Covid interrupting my class) I'd be happy to see any tips you share. Especially how to substitute a material for something called for but you don't have and why a certain material is chosen over another. Hooks and why a style is chosen over another. Thanks for sharing.
Substituting material is something that has been on my radar for a while....need to do that for sure!
Dude your house looks like a fly shop and I love it
Awesome videos! I’d like to see a video of different retrieve tactics and the different styles of streamers you’d use for certain retrieves.
Definitely going to cover that in the Streamer Tactics Series.
Just recently found your videos-I groomed dogs for 32 years -Yep I've got a slicker brush-enjoy your wit too-ps I'm 75 still love to fish-picked up the flyrod after I retired-and starting to tie my own flies
Very cool! Glad to have you as a subscriber!
Another great one!
Thanks!
Really like your videos Brian. Would like to see more on some dry flies.
You got it
Another great tying tip video! Keep up the good work. Dig the channel. Maybe a tying tips video on just heads of flys, how it affects the swim, purpose/ reasoning for the style.
Thanks for watching, Weston. That suggestion has popped up a few times.....on the list for sure.
I would like to see a video on hook types and if and how you choose them for a particular fly pattern/type of fly. Thanks a lot for your videos, I learned a lot!
Definitely on the list!
Another great video!
Thanks, Daisy......did you notice you were in it??????
i didn’t want to call myself out 🤫
Always love the music, plus, you fly some cool ties!
Thanks 👍
Love your videos. I'd like to see a video shaping flies.
Thanks!
great vid!
Thanks, Mark!
Thanks, Brian Awesome video this exactly what I been needing to know. A video on amounts to use would also be helpful. Thanks Again
Thanks for watching, Mike.
Awesome videos. I'd love to see a video on your take on different head designs. Swim flies, jerk flies, etc.
Definitely on the list! Thanks!
Another Pro Tip! Chuckled when fumbling then tossing the Chartreuse pack early on then again when you clanged the dry marker off the trash can rim. Makes you more regular guy! Keep em coming
HAHA.....Thanks, man. I have always hated the stuffy side of fly fishing and fly tying.
Awesome video!!! Keep up the great work. I always seem to have problems packing deer hair for the head of the streamer. I also end up cutting my thread when I trim the head.
Check this video out! czcams.com/video/VXlC2bWimNg/video.html
DUDE!!! That monstrosity with all the lazer dub on it...actually caught a fish with one. Great video!!!
Fish will eat anything..... ;-)
Nice info thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video you always have a way of making me want to try new material. I would like see some ways to use Swiss straw
Swiss Straw is definitely on the list!
Brian, we like you even if you don't ask for likes.
I didn't know I needed more dubbing on top than below. Lesson learned.
As for tying tips: why so many different shapes of rubber legs and when to use them.
Thanks, Martin! I have done something a little similar....have you seen this video? czcams.com/video/48Agyqd6pWo/video.html
@@flyfishingtheozarks No but I'll watch it as soon as I can. Thx.
Weights tying tips. Dumbbell eyes, lead wire, beadchain eyes, beads etc. That's something i'd appreciate. As always, fantastic video😅👍
For sure have a Dumbell Eye/Bead Chain Eye/other weighted eyes video on the list! Good call!
That little bait fish is awesome! You hinted on proportions! I would like to see a video on that. How you build your fly proportions and why it matters! Thanks for a great video!!
That is actually already on my radar!! Good idea!
I am definitely guilty of using too much Laser Dub. Great video, tons of tips, time to hit up the vise and improve my skills! I think foam materials would be a great topic for future videos. Shit can be tricky
Never thought about a Tying Tips video on foam! Added to the list (and toward the top of the list, too)
The tiny laser dub minnow is “fantastic” :) Couldn’t find the tying video among your videos.
HAHAHA!! Well played!
Great video full of awesome tips. Thank you so much for sharing. I think it would be great to see you make a video showing different ways of blending dubbing. Such as how to blend natural materials versus synthetic. I have so many people I know that blend synthetic fibers in a coffee grinder still and get frustrated when it comes out in tiny little pieces when in reality they hoped it would retain the length they originally cut it to.
Check this out! czcams.com/video/iCHJKL2ckGA/video.html
Brian nice job on the laser dub video some good tips, will help me out. Would like to see a video on when to weight streamers and how much weight to use, specifically talking about weighting with lead wire to achieve different actions and purposes.
That is popping up a lot.....definitely on the list. Thanks, Jack!
Cool, thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!
Scaling up fly size wonderful !
Thanks!
Thanks Brian great tips would love to see your take on spinning deer hair !
Look at this video, James! czcams.com/video/VXlC2bWimNg/video.html
love it thanks buddy !
Enjoyed the video as always, Brian. I'd love to see a video on incorporating weight into streamers or how much weight is even necessary. I definitely struggle with how heavy my fly should be.
There are those who say you should not weight the fly you should use a sinking line. I think the theory is that a weighted fly does not "swim" as well as an unweighted fly.
I like this idea!
There are definite times when you need the fly to sink, for sure. I will be covering this stuff in the Streamer Tactics Series.
Would love to see how can you recycle or retie old flies or flies that arent as great when you just started to learn the pattern
I give all my old flies away for free
My goto on getting a hook back out of a really bad fly is fire.....lots of fire.
Razor blade
You mentioned wool , kick it old school an give us some tips on da wool ! You’re vids have been very helpful for my ties . Thanks for keeping it reel !
Great suggestion!
Love using Lazer dub for heads. Like to see tips on using faux bucktail on flies
I have a love/hate relationship with Faux Bucktail. It is great for propping up materials, and to keep materials from fowling around the hook....but it isn't on the same level as bucktail.
Good video thanks alway wined up have more laxer dub on my brush the in the fly never knew why till today… I was effing it up 😜
Thanks for sharing!
I'd like to see I video about different weight systems for streamers. Ways to weight them and where to put the weight!
That one is popping up quite a bit.....on the list for sure.
@@flyfishingtheozarks took me quite a while to learn where to put weight to get the action I want. I'm sure I still have lots to learn too!
Very timely video. Just got some laser dub to try out. Your proportional rule of keeping 2/3 of the material on the top of the hook shank so the fly will swim is a particularly good one. You said it in reference to laser dub but it’s true also for just about any streamer including traditional or more recent materials like hair wings & feather wings or ones made from Puglisi style fibers.
It would be interesting for you to contact the manufacturer of laser dub & ask why the difference in lengths & texture for what is supposed to be the same material. I’m sure we would all be interested in the answers.
Future video: What steps do you go through when designing a new fly? What prompts the desire - a new fishing issue? - a new material to try? What are first & later stages?
Exactly! Specifically for swim flies.....more materials on top than on bottom instantly helps swim problems.
Great video as usual! I have been using Senyo’s dubbing for some time now. I ever Noticed the inconsistencies in length. Thanks for that! I don’t need any materials but would love one of your stickers if you have them.
Never noticed
Thanks, Bill! There are actually links to my merchandise under each video.....super easy!
Algorithms suck, your videos are awesome!
hahaha, thanks man...I agree!
A good video, would have liked to see more techniques. Heads and small baitfish?
Love the streamer game and would love to see even more great stuff for it.
Love everything you do!! Maybe add the species it's designed to fish for would be great!
I'll be honest, almost all of the tying videos I do will cover tons of species. The way I look at it, if it is a streamer....anything that eats baitfish will eat it.
Good stuff Brian! What about dubbing loops or what to look for when buying a full cape for streamers?
Thanks! I like the dubbing loop idea.....
Awesome video thanks. I'm having trouble losing material and not getting the length I thought I would out of the white. Maybe this is why. I feel like I'm stacking it forever and still lose it when I hit it with the brush. Any suggestions would be very helpful
Pricing your flies to sell would be a nice how to video
Great video as always, any tips on selecting hook sizes(weights) and styles when tying streamers? Kinda sucks when you whip something cool up and only realize it has to much or not enough keel/weight to swim correctly when you take it fishing
Brian, I've tried complex multi-material flies that take 20 minutes to tie and found (over the years) that they don't swim as well or fish as well as the simple 3-minute bucktail or lazer-dub streamers like the one you showed. Two tone (dark back, light belly, colors to suit) , a (small) bit of flash and (maybe) a touch of color (like red gills) has always been effective. I tie streamer patterns in sets of different lengths (1 1/2"; 2 1/2" up to 5 1/2") that imitate specific forage and fish the size that is one size bigger than the forage at that time - because fish (like people) will take the biggest piece of pie first :) Would like to see you tie some Bob Popovics style bucktail streamers. They have become my go-to fly for any species that eats baitfish.
New sub after that vid! Craft fur and GSP thread, how to keep it even on the hook. Flies swim really crappy if not evened out. Hook selection would be great too. So many choices these days but most of the popular hooks are never in stock. Great vid!
Thanks for subscribing!
I'm really starting to get into smallmouth and that little 🪰 you tied looks awesome is the weight to sink the 🪰 or keel it.
A little bit of sink, a little bit of keel....definitely not to get the fly real deep.
Love the content. I'd like to see some crayfish flies. I've never been able to find one I REALLY like.
Thanks, Cody! Do you follow the Flymen Channel? I do most of their tying videos and there are a couple craws on there.
@@flyfishingtheozarks I've watched a few but its been a while. I'll have to go check it out again.
I would love to see various ways to use craft fur.

Could you do an articulated slump buster sometime? I think that would look amazing
I love Slumpbusters!
Super helpful. I have had problems getting the look I wanted from this material. As far as tying tips I'd like to see...I would really appreciate a video on swinging flies. May sound like I'm a moron but, I just don't get it.
👌👌👌
tying tips on how you organize your tying materials for videos/storage
Love this idea! I actually just got a REALLY cool shelving unit for the studio as well. This one will happen, for sure.
I’d like to see the use of Australian possum for streamer heads or any other applications.
Great tutorial. I bought a couple packs of lazer dub a long time ago and struggled with it to the point of giving up with that material. After seeing you show the differences in material between packs and colors I think I've figured out some of my problems with it. Guess I'll need to break those packages back out.
Have you gotten much into brush building for a tutorial?
czcams.com/video/bbZrLNP0co8/video.html
Great video. What hook were you using to tie the small minnow fly near the end?
Thanks! That hook is a Kona Big Game Hunter....I think it was a #1
Cool
What about fly accessories, rattles propellers etc. Great videos, I have learned a lot from this series
Good idea!
Great videos!
Please dive into the complex world of hackle for a rookie.
Hen hackle, strung hackle, dryfly hackle, streamer hackle, schlapen, different grades of such, so on and so on
Gets my head spinning!
Also maybe a nice pack dump from a day on the water.
Always neat to see what people bring/use out there
Definitely jotting down this idea!!
I actually have this idea in the quiver already.....on a (hopefully) big level. ;)
I don’t see a rabbit strips video yet, they are slightly more simple to use but also very versatile so lots to talk about!
Check it out! czcams.com/video/-hQlyI2vEq8/video.html
Playing with laser dub is addictive....it's kinda like petting your flies while tying.
HAHAHA, TOTALLY!!
Great vid. I haven't used Laser Dub yet but would like to try it out. Would you be kind enough to share the link of your smaller fly at 13:40 in this vid?
I would like to see a video on how to v-tie longer materials in to achieve different bait fish profiles. Thanks for the videos really informative. Oh and did anyone ever call you Brian Wise- ass? Seems appropriate for the way you goof around during your videos.
Absolutely the first time I have ever heard "Brian Wise-Ass"........today. LOL Definitely covering baitfish profiles in the future!!
I'm sure you've covered this but stacking hair around dumbell eyes would be my choice for a good tying tip.
Good call!
Shaun! The random generator picked your comment! Shoot your address to bnwise@gmail.com and I will get a care package to you!
What about a video on how to use different materials for tails and how they can contribute or take away from the performance of the flie?
Love that idea! Thanks for watching!
Could we get a fly tying tips video focusing on flash ?
For sure doing this video. I never really realized how many different types of flash there are....and how many different ways I use it!
I use laser dub all the time! The length discrepancies are frustrating for sure. Do a video on airbrushing!
I did this video a long time ago on Copic Markers....check it out! czcams.com/video/pfTWRCi2WSo/video.html
How about a tying tips on tails for streamers. Lots of options on the market. Have a good stash of them myself. Some have produced well for me. Others not so well. What do you like for particular applications and how do you attach them?
Just added this to the list....there is REALLY cool stuff out there!!
@@flyfishingtheozarks looking forward to it! Thank you!
It's Acrylic with Angelina fibers
Can we get more tying tips involving fire? Asking for a friend….
I’d like to see how you strip down old/bad flies back to a bare hook, efficiently. I have a bunch I could spend time stripping all the material off but damn it takes a while
Lots of fire! ;)
Do you sell the magnum dub???
And you will get the wool soon. I am just busy fishing these day's.
Try this.... www.bearsden.com/product16536.html
Video on adding eyes to files 👀
czcams.com/video/gAdMaBJW8MU/video.html
which is more buoyant? laser dub or deer hair?
Deer Hair.....Laser Dub has no natural buoyancy.
Dude! You have a child in college?! Wow you look like a youngster!
Anyway. How and why you choose the hooks you use? Are there certain flies materials that match with certain hooks?
Love your content. Oh and you remind me of the First We Feast Hot Ones dude.
I have 2 in college! I have some ideas for a hook video....just need to get it together.
Can you make your own laser dub or ice dub?
I am 100% sure you can. I 'think' I know what Laser Dub is made out of--but I have no idea about Ice Dub.
The bad example was still gorgeous Brian……….
Thanks, Aiden!
I have that shirt
Love that shirt!
You've mentioned alcohol-based markers before...is that the same as permanent markers, (i.e. Sharpie) or do you have a brand of markers you prefer? The DOA pattern was stellar!
There may need to be a marker video for the future. Where I have landed with markers (the short story) is Sharpies for barring (basically, color you don't want to "run") and Copic Markers for throats (or colors you want to blend where "running" doesn't hurt anything. Hope that makes sense.....
By the way---I totally agree, the DOA is crazy awesome.
@@flyfishingtheozarks It absolutely makes sense. Thanks for the info.
I tied six of the DOAs with saltwater hooks and will see if I can fool some roosterfish. Fingers crossed. Heading to Mexico (Pacific coast) Friday.
@@JimMurphyinSTL Awesome!!
@@JimMurphyinSTL Wish I would have known....I would have definitely sent some flies for you to try!
Toothbrush helps too.
Good point!
Great video, would be cool to see how a rattle is attached to a clousers or similar fly. Been having trouble keeping the bucktail tight to the body with a rattle. 👍👍
That is a tough one.....the Clouser has a super skinny body making it REALLY hard to hide the rattle.
Would like to see dubbing loops. Still suck at them even though I’ve been tying since 1979 ( you can do the math)
Thanks, Tom. I am adding that to the list now!
