Thanks a ton. The Band is called "the insanitizers" local band here. Let me know how it works for ya out there!

We are trying tonre negotiate the terms to make more. They upped my minimum to 500 per grain weight, which is a ton. Hopefully we can get them made soon

I like 2.5" - 3". If you are going after kings or are in water with a good amount of color you can definitely go bigger.

33mm is my normal length.

Perfect! Do you guys ship internationally? Getting some flys sorted for a trip to Greenland

The little nano light struggles. The bench light is good, but you'll have to check the battery often. If the battery is low, it will still light the LED, but won't do whatever voodoo it needs to cure. Try a fresh battery and see if it cures for you.

@@theportlandflyshop I was thinking battery issue. What about the notion of different lights for different resins … ie loon or solareze. Do you need a light for each brand?

I haven't found that to be necessary at all. The loon light will cure everything I've used so far, including pro, solrez, and raidzap

You can, for sure, but keeping the hook on helps with measuring porpotions.

Not dumb at all. It's a tube needle, made specifically for tube flies. Each brand will have their own to fit their specific tube. The Aqua Flies and Pro Tube are the only ones I know of that are the same.

Thanks Rob

A fair to good angler when you start is more than enough to get going. Most are in that category when they start. I've seen a lot of really green 1st years become studs after a while. I wouldn't worry about that at all. You'll get on the job training every day. As long as you make an honest effort every day, you'll get very good, fast. On slow days, keep changing flies, trying different water, etc. I don't know anyone who started guiding as a ninja. They may have thought they were, but after 5 years, you know a ton more, if that makes sense. Don't be nervous about what you don't know. Get the boat wet, go down river and start casting. Work from there.

Awesome! Glad it helped ya!

Thanks a ton!

I'm sure it is. I've the the model car stuff people do and it's really impressive

Great advice and video. How do you deal with cancellations ?

​@TheHillcityhobo $100 deposit. if I cancel due to weather or poor fishing, 100% refund or transfer the deposit to a new date. Whatever is best for the client. If client bails over 30 days, full refund. Under 30 days, I keep the deposit, unless I am able to book the day, then full deposit refund. If it was a medical emergency I'd give a full refund usually.

Good job, sir. Truly ninja.

I love the chromatic brushes. I haven't used fox in this fly, but use it in a ton of others. You can use this video as a base, but go hog wild and explore other materials that you like. Options are limitless.

@@theportlandflyshop Thanks! Just trying to analyze the little info thats out there on this fly! I think it’s the coolest looking squid/intruder I’ve seen. Jerry’s proportions and translucent effects he gets on this and the dirty hoh are hard to replicate haha. It looked like there might be some sort of fox in the original OPST video in that section of the loop

@JAL94 there easily could have. I talked to Jerry at length before I did this video and took his recipe at that time, but, he evolves his patterns regularly. What this start as are not the same as they end up. He's always evolving

@@theportlandflyshop Thanks for the reply! It’s such a dope fly. My wallet is about to get a little lighter haha

​@JAL94 for sure! Thanks for watching! If we can help in any way, say the word

Thanks for cheing us out! To answer your question: running the scissors down the top side of the feather will fold the fibers back so they lay rearward as you wrap the feather. It won't matter as much on softer fibers, but if you're using saddle (stiffer feather) instead of schlappen, the collar will stick straight up, instead of facing rearward.

@@theportlandflyshop thanks I just recently found you online but watched about 15 vids after this 1 I live on Vancouver Island so unlike most of the flies I see from great lake vids I see 2 or 3 I would tie every 25 vids I but your's is more like 22-23 so thanks still have more to go I'm sure you will be hearing from me again with dumb questions lol.

Yes, absolutely, Depending on water speed. The shot will sink the fly much faster, so in faster water, the shot will be more effective. Slower water, a tip will work good and cast better

Not sure if it's the same or not. The stuff aqua uses comes out of the medical field from what I understand. As long as it works...

Totally new to tube flies, but are you looking for rigid tubing or is it flexible? Great video!

​@@evanhogan9219flexible. Tubes can break in cold winter Temps. Actually, it's common with some tube brands. The flexibility keeps your fly together, even in the coldest temps

Thanks a ton. Good to be back. Lots more coming!

They are being packaged now. Hopefully next week! We'll do an insta post when they get in hand

Ridiculous

Colors??

@bobw9088 not sure yet on the full list. Blue, pink, purple, chartreuse, and black for sure

Thanks so much! I appreciate the support and kind words. We're just getting started. Have some fun stuff planned this year

Thanks for watching and supporting!

Thanks so much! Had to take a long break for personal reasons, but good to be back. See ya soon! Hopefully on a river

when everything goes right, it's great and easy. When it goes wrong, it really goes wrong, lol

I definitely had flies that I didn't like. I tried to have all killer flies, but it wasn't feasible. I was guiding 3 days a week, plus another 3 or 4 in a shop. Silveys tandem tubes from Idylwilde were my guide flies for a long time. Simple, effective and durable.

Awesome! Make sure to let us know how it works for ya!

One station would work just fine. It would be more along the lines of a traditional prom dress, but, nothing wrong with that! That fly is time tested and very effective

@@theportlandflyshop Thank you for your response

Good to be back! Thank you
