Charlie, Truly enjoy your videos. I have watched allot of fly tying videos and you are without a doubt the closest to how I tie. I started in 1984 @ the age of 9, in 2003 I lost all my equipment, fishing gear and passion for the sport. About two weeks ago I came across your video on the royal wolf (one of my favorites) and it lite a fuse😊. I have been watching allot of others tie on RUclips but find flaw's in there assembling techniques and lack of knowledge all together. I'm currently ordering, scavenging and looking for deals to rebuild my arsenal. I hope to start sharing some of my knowledge here as well. Any how I wanted to say thank you for bringing that excitement back, I had thought I lost it forever. Blessings buddy

Good grief Charlie, I just finished a 500+ traditional nymph box for the season, and I’ve saved a ton of your videos for streamers and dry flys as well, but if you keep posting more to your channel I may have to invest in “A LOT” more boxes. lol
Expertly tied and rarely if Never accidentally cuts his tying thread. If he does, it’s because he meant to do so!

Cool 😎

Material List says Uni 6/0 thread, but you are tying with a 14/0 Veevus. Nice fly.

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Dang it

[@cachi-7878]

Charlie, I suppose you didn’t have a 17/0 thread and why you used the 14/0… 🤪
