Another whole night of watching you tie. Thank you sir for not only great how to videos but for the courage to share your work and techniques with us.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Terry, always nice to get positive feedback.

[@mattlip1376]

That couldn't of been a better tutorial. Thanks so much!!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Pleased that you liked it Matt.

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

You make it look like a piece of art

[@Thefeatherbender]

I know! Its just practice, oh and loads of talent!

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

@@Thefeatherbender You aren't lying! If I had a fly that pretty I'd mount it on my computer monitor as a decoration instead of feeding it to a fish. If I could tie something that pretty, well then I'd consider feeding it to a fish!

[@joeduca8582]

Awesome, you tie so precisely even for a fishing fly. I love feather wings. I just got a Whiting Am variant neck, I'll have to tie some. Thanks Barry 👍

[@mr.thomas5186]

Nice work! I can see you are an artist with the details, every step of the way. A pleasure to watch. Have not tied this in a while..I'll give it a go.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Mr Thomas, always good to get positive feed back.

[@michaelhennegan9637]

Excellent job! The Black Ghost is one of my favorites.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Michael.

[@zarchy55]

Perfect tie. Love it!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Zarchy!

[@Grouse2275]

Beautiful!!

[@seanmooney3907]

Hey Barry, beautiful tie. I also love the classics. Living in Maine, U.S.A. I tie a few of Carrie Stevens patterns. I usually use 8x hooks. No particular reason but they do look great on these old hooks. I started tying them on 8x I guess that is why I continue. All the best, Sean

[@Prostotakrybalka]

Super tying💪💪💪Like✌️✌️✌️

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you!

[@paulallen7651]

Herbert Welch might be proud to have tied his fly so perfectly. Nice work.
A fly with which I wouldn't travel Northeast.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Paul,nice too think so!

[@paulallen7651]

Now all I have to do is get my butt in my tying chair, whip some streamers up and drive.

[@comerford7470]

Beautiful fly! I am fan of your videos. Any suggestions for a jungle cock substitute since capes can be hard to come by and are expensive when you find them in a shop? Or would you recommend pulling the trigger on a low grade cape on eBay?

[@peggymeakin8491]

Barry, great job.. interested in the clip. What make or where did you get it. Looks perfect for the job.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Peggy, its a artery clip used by surgeons, not sure where it came from but I'v had it 30+ years.

[@hermit6208]

I haven't tied a fly since I was a boy, and poorly-tied streamers were the best I could ever do. Question: my dad used to say that tying the body too long over the rear could lead to a fickle brookie striking short. Thoughts?

[@comesahorseman]

👍👍
Subbed.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks for subbing!

[@bobferguson4415]

Nice one. I see you use extra long hooks. I don't particularly like streamers because the wing can end up wrapped round the hook. The extra long shank would I suspect stop this happening to much. A very handsome looking fly. A mate ties his with the collar hackle ahead of the wing though I think this might mask the jungle cock when the fly is pulled through the water. I like your technique with the clip. I must give it a try.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Bob, I do love long flies, and for sure if you persevere and fish more with them they will reward you with better and bigger catches!

[@jefferysmith8824]

Is this a salmon fly?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Jeffery, It's most commonly used for trout but can also be used for salmon.
