    I'm beginning my adventure into fly fishing, swinging my first rod this week. Starting with a kit that came with some flies, and decided, I'll not buy a single fly but learn to do this.
    This is one of the best sessions for understanding concepts quickly, designs and styles. It's got it all and the results are amazing. I imagine it would take me 20 minutes to make a fly that looked like total sht that is done here in 2 minutes, and I understand it~ but so much, rapid fire just enough detail - Outstanding presentation.
    I've watched a ton of flying tying vids which I had to do to learn the language, making this an amazing treat. Also inspirational in how quickly a beautiful piece can be made. Thank you for the hard work of putting this out here, it's a ton of work to produce something like this before putting a hook in the vice.

    This was a great beginners kit for a great price. czcams.com/users/postUgkxKRURvLsu9Vvyw7gIuvt8FsApoQNCdz-1 Its given us a huge variety to test out and see what works well and what we like to use. Majority of the flies have stayed together well, but some of the rainbow warriors did unravel after catching a few blue gill. All in all, this was a great kit and are so happy with the purchase and value for money.

  • @retiredfire66rybak50

    Jay, I hope you don't mind, I wrapped a ball of red/brown chenille to the fly head, and once wet worked well. Thank you for everything you do! Rick

    1:47 as a kid in the 1970s i got lessons from a 67 year old man how to tie these i remember him using this style fly and peacock feathers as well as other natural materials and man made stuff.
    It was his hobby, if he wasn't fishing he was making Flys.

    When I return to FL I will surely be tying patterns I will use next spring when I return to New England next Spring! Thanks!

    I wanna make a couple for my boyfriend, and have (sub)zero background in fishing. This looks 1)beautifully crafted, and
    2)like the flies are about to enter RuPaul's Drag Race 🤭.
    I know I must not "crowd" the body because it will impede proper biting, and that the head must be tightly secured too. After that, my imagination (plus your vids) is the sky!
    Thanks for posting :D

    I'm new to all this and have only been tying for a month and a week maybe. If you see me saying I'm using a Velcro brush to give my hair a buggy look it's cause I'm going bald.......
    I already have a pretty decent parachute and have already attempted a twin parachute and a size 12 dry fly hook and so far that's my biggest challenge, its actually completing this. There looks to be a few on here I must try though.
    You were one of my first 3 I subscribed to for tying and i did so based on your presentation. Keep it up cause I really enjoy your channel and need more of your podcast

Good luck with the tying, sounds like you are off to a great start!
