Great pattern Mak.

[@Makflies]

Thank you so much :))

[@astlin]

Nice! I used to use peacock feathers too but switched to sewing thread or yarn (depends on beetle size) with fluorescent color for body under foam. And I think it works way better.

[@Makflies]

That's a great idea, thank you so much :)))

[@methos1351]

Thank you, Mak. I will try it.👍

Excellent tie as always

[@Makflies]

Thank you so much friend :))

[@leftymadrid]

This pattern always works very well. I too have tied many flies. Once you're into this sort of hobby it is super hard to get out! Plus there's nothing like fishing and being able to use your own fies...
I've also lost quite a bit of eye sight doing so. Especially when the number of units made is more than 50.000!!
The challenging ones to make when one first starts off are the size#'s 20 and smaller. That's where I've lost quite a bit of eye sight. I mean, meaning that I now use 🤓 where before fly tying I didn't have to ...
Oh but sooo worth it!! Lol 🎣

[@Makflies]

Thank you so much friend, I totally agree with you, It is a passion, fly tying & fishing makes me exciting , I have lost most of my eye sight, but it is worth it, keep up the good work,
Regards,, Mak :))

What would really help some of us is if you did some kind of material list before the video or in the description

[@Makflies]

Ok I will do that :))

Thank you my friend :))

[@lars9415]

Nice video!
for the legs I prefer hand brush horse hair fibres cos they are thinner, naturally black brown and more natural compared to these rather bulky silly legs...
tight lines!

[@Makflies]

Thank you friend, It's all personal :))
