For all the people who never see their flies wet, from the fishes point of view, a big thank you for posting these type of videos Michael and Ulla! I kept hoping to see a big trout swoop in and grab the fly 😁 I have a fly test tank and an underwater camera that I use to inspect new patterns and material behavior, so these types of images are very familiar to me. I was more watching the color and flash of the fly to see how it showed against the background. Noticed thar all the flies were of similar materials/construction. You might want to do videos showing how different materials - soft (marabou/fox), stiff (squirrel/bucktail), various synthetics and the effects of sparce vs dense dressing has on how the fly swims. Think that would benefit your viewers. Above and beyond different sizes to match the seasonal growth of the forage species, I often tie the imitation in a variety of styles, materials, weights and dressings for different fishing situations. Minnows will often be feeding close to the surface early/late in the day and close to the bottom at other times. Different weights/dressing are required to match the depth and behavior. A "Muddler" full style (buoyant) dressing for surface feeders and a sparse (weighted) "Clouser" style for when the minnows are foraging for chironomids on the bottom - the predators are always close to their food source. Great theories eh? Sometimes, I even guess everything right and have a great day on the water - most of the time, it's just a fun day out 😉 Cheers!
That is a bunch of great ideas my friend. Will have those in mind for future videos. And you are right. Making theories are an important part of an anglers life - and occasionally they turn out right. Those occasions makes for red-letter days. Cheers, Michael 🙂
Work of art video and tube flies! Thanks for all the links too. I gotta start tying tube flys. Thank you Michael and Ulla ❤😊
Thanks Joe. There are a lot of good reasons to use tube flies, even though I think most flies look best on a traditional hook shank. Cheers, Michael 🙂

That tube fly flows and glows well done Mick and Ulla.
Thanks Brian. Cheers, Michael 🙂
That is some great and interesting footage! Thank you Michael!
Thank you for your feedback, Dirk. Cheers, Michael 🙂
Those all look great! The smallmouth bass here would smash all of those as well.
Thank you for your feedback. I really enjoy your videos as well. Cheers, Michael 🙂
@@MichaelJensensAngling That means a lot! I will be producing yet another jig tying video inspired by one of yours very soon - a bunny jig for pike 👍
@@nextlevelangling Cool. Bunny Jigs will catch most anything. 🙂
