Thanks for the video, Jonas. Love this one,you make it look so easy. Can't wait for the next one. Keep them coming.
Thanks a lot Gary, i think i will make a Popham today since i got one to send and after that something with a bit more details to add 😀
Nice to get you back at the vice buddy, very nice dressing 👍.
I like the multi section bodies, I like the use of the spears. I couldn't believe how well that wing went on for you😊 as they say here you would think it grew there 👍. Super job
Thanks buddy nice to be back at it 🙏😀 the spears i like them as well provides a nice natural color. That wing was very kind to me i’m sure it just grew on there 😀. Thanks for watching and next up is The Popham 🤗
What feather did you use for the underwing.
That is a pair of red spear feathers on the golden pheasant tail 👍
That is one beautiful fly. What brand of thread do you use?
Thanks a lot Jeff 🙏 in this video i was using Veevus gsp thread 12/0
@@jonas_flies Thank you, and was it black or white thread
@@noelange1 i try to use only white threads unless i got no ones at home
Welcome back! By the looks of that wing, you haven't lost your touch. I think you should tie an original fly with the colors of the Swedish flag using those swan feathers. Would you call those jungle cock feathers "cheeks"?
Thanks Tino always nice to get back home and into the normal phase. I might tie The Swede some day just need to play with the thought and draw a few on paper first so it don’t get way to crazy 😀 i prefer using the JC feather not only adding a mini cheek so to say, i like that flow better
