@@Makflies You are certainly welcome. I watch hundreds of videos each week and comment on very few, if any. That said, I do believe in giving credit where credit is due and find your videos to be very informative.

I watched this thinking, “no way this ends up looking like the thumbnail image.” I was wrong. Looks very natural and realistic. That’s great work.

Thank you Adam, I really appreciate that my friend :))

[@EsoxLVCIVS6776]

My dad taught me how to tie flies over 50 years ago and I wish I'd had CZcams back then to learn from someone like yourself. I find it really soothing watching a master at work.

[@Makflies]

Thank you so much Mick, I really appreciate that :))

[@craigwoolacott3047]

Genius 😊. That resin really sets of the red and gives a smooth, shell like finish. Many thanks Mak.

[@vijaysura2874]

I had my most successful days trout fishing using a gamarus. Fished degreased a few inches beneath the surface, it can be deadly on days where the more traditional patterns fail. Beautifully tied sir, a dying art. So much more satisfying catching on a fly or nymph that you have made.

Out of all my hobbies as a youth, [compared to models painting and decophage] Flie tying was my very favorite, as where trout. I had thousand of streams and rivers around me. And to make and catch fish on your design was amazing. But I quit when I started doing it for money, I was too young. Could not keep up with work load.
