Great tutorial Shawn 👍 I learned a new technique, thanks. It's sorta like a thunder creek but stretched out in sequences, if that makes sense. I'll try that out in white, yellow and black for walleye this coming season.
Never had trouble with the thin hard or ultra thin. The flex formula can turn a little cloudy, and the thick formula can turn a little yellow, but it’s very minute color change. The rest are super clear.
First time I throw a flying lure to lay down, I watch it fly out of view , pump it once. BAM! 6lber grabs lure as it dives back in under limb. Fight was on! Had to be 25yrs ago or more, picture is still vivid in my mind. Nice to see idea come back around. Why not design a universal jig head that helps plastics dive/fly same directions as cast. Maybe a couple Berkley plastics designed with all features needed for best performance. Do it! Do it! Do it! Just sayin! Keep on!
Hey Shawn, nice tie. I don't use craft fur yet. I still have too much natural fur to buy craft fur yet. Call me old fashioned but I think it has a silkier movement in the water. I will go to craft fur when u run out of natural fur. It is much cheaper and I don't think the fish care. All the best to you and your family. Sean
No need to go with any synthetic. I use naturals often as well. There are different properties to each, and therefor different flies can be made when using a wider range. But yeah man, naturals are great as well.
Beautiful fly! Could you add some sparkly stuff to give the appearance of scales and also a strip of something to look like a lateral line? Or does that stuff make the fly too bulky or unstable?
I use 3 places to buy materials. One, my local fly shop when I can find the materials I am looking for. I work at a fly shop, and its just easier to grab them off the shelf when I work. Plus I can inspect the materials and make sure im getting what I want. If my fly shop doesn't cary it, then I go to Amazon or J-stockard. Amazon for just one or two materials, and J-stockard when I know I need a ton of stuff ($100 orders or more). Just cause they charge a lot for shipping, and its free after $100 spent. :)
So bloody simple and durable !!! Bet the fish love it and is so easy to tie. Great video.
Thanks! Yeah pretty simple for sure
I love the videos showing the action of the flies, nice job.
Thanks!
Great pattern, with great step by step. Thank you
Hey thanks!
Thanks this was an awesome tutorial. May I suggest putting everything that is needed to tie it at the start of the video in writing.
Thanks I’ve done that before. Instead now I just put it in the description section below the video with links to the products.
Brilliant! Super fast and should be pretty bullet proof with the extra wraps of tying thread throughout the body. Nice job!
Thank you, yeah they are durable for sure.
Great video, really well done all around!! It took the mystery out of reverse tie-ins, very helpful, gonna make this one right now.
Thanks! Glad I could help
This helped me so much!! I've been trying to find a good way to make a spars minnow with a good silhouette!!
Hey thanks! Glad it helped!
Excellent tying and instruction. Thank you
Thanks man! :)

Good color combo for sure! Glad you liked it, and happy to help! :)
Great video, as usual. Keep em coming.
Thank yih

i have been thinking about tying my own flies to use as teasers for salt water fishing
Nice! You should. I know some of the marlin flies are tied with feathers and stuff. Basically large flies without hooks.
Awesome! Exactly what I need . Can you please tell me a uv that doesn’t turn milky? I use loon but it’s soft and doesn’t stay clear
They seem to stay clear for me….
@@McFlyAngler maybe I got a bad batch

Well the body wrap I used is sparkly, so it’s sorta a bit of a scale look, but yeah you could add more for sure. Get creative. :).
Very good.
Thanks! :)
Can you reverse one of your videos if you tying s fly?
Lol huh?
oops! wrong vid. sorry.
He tests it in his aquarium 🤣
Where else? I mean I test on the water also, but hard to film in a river. I think it’s the perfect place.
I didn't think it was bad but rather funny. Good way to demonstrate indeed
👍

Do you buy your materials online and if so what website?
I use 3 places to buy materials. One, my local fly shop when I can find the materials I am looking for. I work at a fly shop, and its just easier to grab them off the shelf when I work.
