Thank you so very much for your instructions. I am new to fly tying and was happy to find you with so many videos out there. Your attention to detail and easy to follow steps are a welcome addition.
Hi Vladimir. Thanks for the tips on improving skills and staying organized. Excellent for not only fly tying, but also works for many other things in life. My flats fishing is behind me and getting ready for trout season. Cheers! Oh, I caught my first permit too, yes!
@@Oholisfliesandfishing Yes it’s absolutely true, they’re difficult to see and more difficult to catch - and worth every bit of value and effort that is poured into the pursuit.
I am very happy i could help. Glad you like this video. Since you are new, this video may be helpful, its always about techniques rather than patterns. ruclips.net/video/Um43tlVAE-g/видео.html
Great video! Thanks so much for your expertise. I have learned a tremendous amount watching your videos. One gem today is tying in the pheasant tail on one side of the hook and the wire on the opposite side. Then, wrapping each under the hook and in opposite directions to leave the tail undisturbed and cross-wrap for strength. While not the main topic of the content, it is a fine detail I will definitely apply to my tying bench. Thanks again!
I fish with 3 nymphs, gold ribbed hares ear, pheasant tail and a little black and silver jobbie. I'll try this production line method, the only time i've used it is with quill bodies that need resin coating so i'll do half a dozen bodies at one time and then finish the dressing. Thanks for your continued obsession, it fuels all ours!
Thank you so much for your comment. We have 75% same favorite nymphs... Instead of jobbie i use prince. But its same logic as yours.... However, i love tying hence so many patterns on my profile. Have you tried using 502 superglue instead of UV resins...
Thank you for that priceless information! It's almost like you are teaching one on one.. I'm definitely going to change the way I start tying my flies.. 👌🎣🏞🍻
your instructional content is very useful, I learn so much from watching your explanations. Besides, your work is so damned good. I'll probably start tying single patterns in bulk just to improve. My first real practice was the zebra midge in a few weights (2.4mm and 3mm on a size 14). I think I'll work on an American Pheasant tail next. Anyhow, thanks for the videos, they're motivating and they demystify various tying processes.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Bulk tying will give you so much more than random tying. American PT is great pattern for bulk tying. Seldom the technique is difficult, its usually so simple it goes unnoticed. 😀
Hi, the reason I started tying flies fifty years ago was because the price of flies went up and I could loose a dozen flies a day! So, when using wire or lead 15:14 that I bought I would not cut off a bit as it wasted too much material. I kept the wire or lead on the spool, and anchored it in place to stop it unwinding and came back to it when I needed to continue using it. Long winded explanation but It occurred to me as I watched you carefully using up your feathers as little as possible. So, yes it is a very important point you are making about constantly improving our technique. Thanks heaps mate. Cheers
We have same reasons behind our beginnings. Plus, pleasure is greater when fish eats our creation. Idea with wire is great, for me it doesn't work because its kind of cumbersome to avoid hanging bobbin. But, whenever i can save material i do. Unless its something super available and cheap. . Partridge being so overpriced these days is something i dont want to waste. thank you so much for such nice and also insightful comment. Best Vladimir
Really helpful Vladimir...these routines will make me more disciplined and organised, particularly tying fewer patterns in a range of different sizes...are you mainly using jig off beads for your nymphs these days ? ....all the best to you and your family
Thanks. Glad it made you question your old habits. Its not necessary right for everyone but it can help Yes, i am mainly using jig off beads. Best Vladimir 🍻🍻😀
Thanks so much for these videos. I like how detailed & technical your explanations are. And the production is very good as well. I feel my fly tying has improved just from your explanation of pinch wraps, and which direction to pull the thread to get the material to cinch in the perfect spot. Do you do much lake\stillwater fishing? I looked through your past videos, and don't see anything on flies for that style of fishing. Thanks!
Really glad i could help. 😀🍻 I fished lake for trout twice in my life. Caught less than 10fish. So i am not very good with it 😀 or patterns for that matter 😃
Hi Ralf, yes, you are right. That is intended way. Theres even a little cut out piece in the hole where hook eye is supposed to be and prevent rotation. But way i do it is somewhat like balanced fly. At least while tightlining. Its more difficult to secure the bead but IMO its better way. Plus, i get more hook shank exposed so i can play more 😁 Hope this explains my logic.... Give it a go. Maybe it will make some difference. 😀🍻🍻🍻
Takes some discipline yet loads of value in what you’re demonstrating. I use my whip finish tool to flatten my thread, I saw Tim Flagler sharpens the base of his to use as a thread cutter.. as always your instructions are great and I am I feel a better fly tier when using these techniques
Great video - as usual. What you mentioned about too many patterns but no consistency unfortunately resonates with me. I always have a tendency to tye many different patterns but at the end of the day, I am only using a few (my confidence flies). I know every situation is different but can you provide guidance as what a diverse set of identical fly would look like? So for example, the nice pheasant tail you had in a prior video, how many sets of 5 would you Tye ranging from hook size / bead combo? for example, 14/3.8 and14/3.2, 16/3.2 and16/2.8, 18/2.8 and 18/2.3 or would you use 1 size bead for each hook size so for example like 14/3.2, 16/2.8 and 18/2.3. Another question, do you use sometime lead wraps to make them heavier or do you only rely on bead size? If you do use lead wraps, would it be on a large bead only to make it heavier or no rules/guidance? I find it complicates everything if no consistency/logic in the tying. Many thanks !
Thank you.🍻 If i was to use only 3-5 patterns, which i did when i competed, this would be my choice. Pheasant tail natural color feather. Hare's ear lighter color and prince. So i have light medium and dark shades covered. Hope this makes sense so far. Sizes for all are 18-12 or 20-12 Most flies would be 18, 16 and 14. I also may have some larger than 12... But few Beads color copper, silver and mettalic pink. Now... 18 can hold from 2mm to 3.5mm beads...even 4mm but those would be just few for extreme situations...16 can hold 2mm to 4mm.... And so on. By applying this logic just to one pattern you get easily more than 100 flies if you have 5 of each. In recent years i am leaning towards smaller flies. Most of my flies are 18 now.
@@Oholisfliesandfishingthis is really helpful - thank you very much. I am also leaning towards using smaller size hooks than before and I was thinking of tying more beads combo with small size (18 with 3 bead size for ex) as I like being able to get small offering to various water depth. When I started tying, I had the tendency to use large size hook but I realize now it was just to gain confidence in tying and see better what I was doing.

Enjoy the tying and tight lines 🍻
Nice organization and consistency Vlad. In Engineering terms, this would be completing "unit operations". Good wily fishes.
Thanks. I do like tying but i also like being efficient. Hope this will help someone. Tying commercially before helped a lot. 😀

Hi Oholi, I think you have the drop bead the wrong way.... I put the small hole ate the eye of the hook. Then you don need to figure 8
Hi Ralf, yes, you are right. That is intended way. Theres even a little cut out piece in the hole where hook eye is supposed to be and prevent rotation.
But way i do it is somewhat like balanced fly. At least while tightlining. Its more difficult to secure the bead but IMO its better way. Plus, i get more hook shank exposed so i can play more 😁
