I’m new to fly tying, and I love your videos. Even if I don’t tie the actual fly, I always pick up on something from your tutorials.

[@robinred1851]

Nice tying and as a result a very nice fly. Love the CDC collar 👍.
Sure will tie some.

[@robertandersson331]

like the idea of the cdc hares ear blend

[@TheFlyFiend]

Thanks! Easy To Make, 50/50 Blend.

used several times on local stillwater and caught each time - even on the drop. Thanks for the pattern.

[@TheFlyFiend]

Awesome to hear Drew! It’s by far my top selling fly!

[@marksleeper3752]

nice fly kudos

[@trouthorn6332]

Great video! Jig style patterns are a favorite of mine on my local spring creek. I was wondering how you like to fish this pattern in high water: do you just high stick it or do you add jigging action to get some attention in colored water?

[@TheFlyFiend]

Yes I Just High Stick It, Our Creeks Arnt Very Deep So Even If Its Higher Its Still Fishable High Sticking.

I think I'm going to play around with different movements this year.

Thanks 😊 Much !

Another great tie. I noticed that you rarely add lead to your Euro style nymphs. Any particular reason?

[@TheFlyFiend]

Hey Tim, No particular reason really.. If I want it to sink faster I will just use a heavier bead, its easier to see in my fly box what size bead instead of wondering if I added weight to a certain fly or not, I haven't had any problems with this method and they still get down super quick!

[@huntingicon]

@@TheFlyFiend makes sense. I just always see people adding weight to their nymphs and wonder why so much weight would be necessary. I find weight to be an action killer in my experience

What do you use for your camera gear?

[@TheFlyFiend]

Canon 70D With A Canon 2.8L 100MM Macro Lens Thanks For Watching.

[@glennpayne9103]

What brand scissors are you using ?

[@TheFlyFiend]

Hey Glenn! I use Loon Outdoors line up of scissors!

[@420sebastien]

I catch so many whitefish under ice with that fly

[@WestMichiganJigCo]

That 1 little pink tail you missed bothers me lmao u touched it like 4 times 😂😂✂️✂️

[@justinaldrich692]

Why wouldn't you leave the CDC full and wrap once if you were making two full wraps with a stripped side??? Just a curious Nelly over here....
Great little bug tied on a Fly Fiend Jig hook and a Fly Fiend slotted bead..... Thanks Fly Fiend.

[@TheFlyFiend]

I Find When I Strip It On One Side The CDC Can "Breathe" More When Water Flowing Threw It, Wrapping A Full Gets Kinda Bunched Up And Restricts Flow, But Its All Personal Preference ! Thanks For Watching!

[@justinaldrich692]

Heard that. Thanks for the vids.

[@elkhunter3349]

Hello, Are you making flies that look good to the human eye or for the fish?

[@TheFlyFiend]

The Fish, I Fish The Heck Outta All Flies I Tie.
