Absolutely beautiful ! You always make it look so easy. I’m positive It’ll be a while before my skills will get close enough to yours but that’s why we shoot for the stars
For some of the palmered peocock eye streamers I tie the hook I need is a short shank deep keel hook. I landed on a hook similar and it comes off set. I bend them out too, I personally think they are bait hooks re purposed.
@3:00, I would have used CDL… A huge part of my pleasure in tying flies comes from using natural materials. I understand prioritizing function over form but in this case, not sure what having stiff fibers buys you since this is a nymph.
I really enjoyed this tutorial! Helped me very much, Thank you! 🎏
Another great looking fly thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Charlie! Another pattern to add to my ever-growing list… 😅🎣

It would be interesting to see the process of tying the first one of your original flies to see the evolution in the concept.
Awesome pattern Charlie
Nice
Very nice

Charlie, any details you can add on the model of Wooster Paint Brush you like for mayfly tails?

CDL rooster? Too short lived for a pattern like this….they just break off too fast. These tails are tough and durable
Looks kinda like an octopus style hook from the saltwater world
1150’s suck(and I like Daiichi Hooks). Spend the $, buy the 206 or the JB’s.
