Hi Cheech, Great job on this and all of your other videos. You and Curtis could go into comedy together if this fly tying and fly fishing bit doesn’t work out.... I always smile and laugh watching your videos. You guys have a great sense of humor! Question: do you have plans to add this color combo to your Fulling Mills offering? As the eyes and hands start to fail more and more it’s nice to have options to purchase that I don’t always have to tie myself. Many thanks!
I love using the dumbbells eyes but I’ve had them start to rotate on me after 20 casts or so. I’ve used super glue, sally Hanson’s and UV resin. Does this happen to you and how do you keep that from happening?
I have seen that with guys who use GSP to tie in the eyes. Other than that, use thick thread and lots of tension when you tie them in. Use more wraps than you think on the eyes before you glue them in place. Also, use a superglue that will seep in and soak the thread.
@@richardnystrom8756 I'd use 140 or 210 denier UTC or Danville. I'm a huge proponent of only tying with GSP if you absolutely need it (like with deer hair) due to the slippage. It will make your flies actually more durable if they don't slide around on the hook shank. Happy tying!!
Nice! You packed the crap out of that hair and the head looks perfect. Saving this vid to Favorites.
Great pattern, and love the thin mint color combo
I bought all the materials to tie this and other tutorials you have posted. You provide a great service. Love the premo hair, btw.
Placed my first ever order on your website and I’m very pleased with the flies I purchased
COOL FLY fellas!!! Thanks for the videos!! I am learning TONS from you guys!!!!
Beautiful fly. thank you for the demonstration!
Another fantastic pattern. Can't wait to give this one a go. Thanks again for all the great & informative tutorials. Tight lines!👍

Jeff Brooks we have talked to them a little bit about this color combo. Hopefully it makes the cut.
Cool fly that's a monster looks awesome!
Thanks for the video Cheech! Love this fly! What colour ice dub is that? Stonfo razor tool.
nice stuff! what sorta wt rod would you be casting this with?
I'd fish this on at least an 8wt, like the St. Croix Mojo with a streamer line.
Such a fishy pattern. What are your go to color combos?
Do you fish this on a floating line or intermediate?
I want that comb

I do use GSP for that so I think you’re dead on with that. What thicker thread would you recommend?
I use 210 denier, and 3/0 for my eyes. I glue in layers on them too. I have broken the eyes before the thread and glue let go.
Thanks!
