FANT COR BLIMEY TASTIC , WOW , thank you yet again , beautiful palmering . All the best , David.
I can never believe just how much we can learn with every video we watch on RUclips! Thanks for some more knowledge dude.
Thanks for watching!!
Not much into streamers or flies, but I do tie up all my own Marabou Crappie jigs, and do my hook dressings on in-lines, spoons, etc. that I mold/make up. I know where you were coming from on the quality of the product aspect, and the last order I placed was for blood quills as a trial. They were amazingly different and a lot easier to tie in. Don't know where you are in the Ozarks, but I lived in Branson West/Reeds Spring area for 8 1/2 years and loved it. 4 lakes to fish, in such a close proximity, and many more within a short drive not counting the rivers and creeks. Largemouth, Smallmouth, Trout, and just about anything a fisherman could ask for. Table Rock and Tanneycomo were the bomb. Simply loved it and wish I was still there. But I'm only a few hours away here in OkieLand, and we have some jaw droppin' good waters here as well.
That dub brush tip just changed my tying life...so simple and amazing
How about a video on different types of glues, UV resins, Sally Hansen's, super glue etc and the specific situations to use them in? For example, attaching eyes - UV? Super glue? Both?
Love your videos. Learn an absolute ton.
That little trick with the dubbing brush is really going to save me for sure 👍
Great info. Especially brushing out the Marabou feathers. Learn something new everyday! Thanks!
Ummm….Thank You for Keeping It Simple sir!!!!!!!!😎😳😁
Thanks for watching!!
Just what I needed! Didnt know I was doing it wrong this whole time! Looking forward to more!
Quite an interesting video. Thanks.Your twist method for cutting marabou is a technique I have not seen before. Definitely will try it.
i like to use a tooth brush to comb the marabou just like you did. that was a nice table top it sounded like you were scratching up.
Another great video, and as always there is always something to learn from others. Thank you for sharing!
Great hack about brushing out the junky Feathers.
awesome tips! I've been tying for years...wish I'd seen this earlier!.thanks
Just getting started, thanks for your help!
Thanks for the, “hell yah Batman” 🤯 learned. 🙏
This helped as I’m trying to learn more about what to look for in marabou material, I’m currently working on making my own marabou jigs.
I love this type of movies.
Excellent explanation. Thought Marabou was Marabou. Details make a difference and thanks for pointing those out.
Fantastic video, material quality is so important. I had marabou which was fine for tails but junk for palmering.
I had to replace it all with some Select grade.
Great tips and thanks for going through the detail on how to select the right feather for the application
Loving this series! That dubbing brush trick is slick!! I imagine one that would be helpful to a lot of people is setting dumbbell eyes. I see a lot of guys struggle to do it.
Adding Dumbbell Eyes to the list!! Thanks for the idea!
Awesome tips just started tying salts!
Great tip on brushing out the ugly feathers
Typically, I am a guy that discards bad feathers. But there are almost as many bad feathers in a pack of marabou as there are good ones!
@@flyfishingtheozarks use that tip yesterday & worked great. Thank you. Love your videos
@@downwindsalmon Thanks for watching!!
As im new into flytying, and want to learn how to work with diffrent materials, your channel has helped me alot! Thank you for taking your time to do these videos, and for keeping it simple! Merry x-mas Brian!
Thanks for watching! Always good to hear when the videos help out.
Howdy from central Texas! It’s 4am couldn’t sleep and came across this great video. I’ve only been tying a year and really enjoy it. Thank you for sharing this information. I subscribed and can’t wait to see your other..and future videos. Going back to bed and dream of flowing marabou and big bass!🎣 👍👍. (And your Kroc are awesome)🙂. God Bless
Thanks for watching!!
Super practical tips! 👏👏👏👏
Brilliant as always!
Excellent tutorial.
Thanks!
Good video well explained
Another great video with the details you don't get elsewhere. Between this, Kelly, and Gunter, a tier has all they need. I really liked the comment near the end about the types of Marabou. One suggestion might be a bit more detail on when somebody might want to consider alternatives to blood quills. I struggled with this a bit in the beginning of tying streamers.
Great info, Brian. A video in bucktail techniques would be pretty helpful as well. Reverse tying, flairing, Buford style heads, or any techniques for larger predator flies.
Thanks!
Adding it to the lineup now! Good idea!
Marabou is one of my favorite materials for streamers and intruders it gives these flys great movement and can help build a nice Silhouette.problem is getting good marabou. It seems like no matter how well you pic the materials in the bag you end up with at least 30% that’s just not usable . I am lucky enough to have a friend who owns a fly shop and is a great tier to get a some giant bags of marabou that was pretty much all quality feathers . Makes a big difference as you say when tying .
Happy Trails
This was a good video....it just got me to subscribe....I can hardly wait for the deer hair video!
Thanks for subscribing! I have good news.....the Deer Hair video is already live:

Great info, as usual...
Thank you, sir!
Great video man.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work thank you
Thank you sir for the tips
Thank YOU for watching!
Earned a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.
Thanks so much!
@@flyfishingtheozarksnewby question. Can you only get 1 wooly bigger tail out of a Marabou or can you get more working up the sides. The tutorials I have seen their just taking the tip. I don't like wasting material
@soldier4christ172 Typically, using the tip will give a cleaner tail. You could probably get 2 or 3 Tails out of most Marabou feathers if you pull the fibers off the sides, but they usually aren't 'as' clean.......the thing is----the fish don't care either way.😎
Great video can you show us how use hen cape for tying salmon fly or tupe
I stink tying but when I watch you it makes me think I can do it... good vids thanks
Thanks! It just takes time.
I would thoroughly enjoy a video of you actually fishing the knuckle head . maybe a casting how to ?
Hey Alex, I am currently working through a series called "Streamer Tactics" where I will focus on casting in one episode, and different aspects of Streamer fishing in a few episodes.
thank you
Super helpful
Good! Thanks for watching!
Do you know from where on the chicken the marabou comes? Inquiring minds would like to know? Good video, and I've got to get down that way soon it's been too long. Some of my best memories fishing with my dad are on the White, Current and Norfork rivers. He's gone now but I've still got his boat. Thanks for the instruction and bringing back some memories.
Most of the current marabou that we have comes from Turkey butts. :)
Thanks!
Thank YOU!!
Other than Deer hair (which is coming). How about the different types of Palmer chenille. UV, micro, filler, etc.
MMMMMM......I LIKE that idea! How to use them, what to use them for, etc?
@@flyfishingtheozarks yeah, Brian. Examples... When you Palmer it then some of it gets trapped.... Complex twist.... Touching turns vs open turns. A lot of people struggle with it
I hate when everyone says to take it out the package. Us guys that have no fly shops cant! Gotta rely on a good fly shop to send quality materials. The reputable ones I'd say do a great job as they don't bag the materials themselves
Just sub'd. You teach well, I'm a beginner, and feathers have been a puzzlement to me. This clears up a lot..... But also Palmering is a ? I see how to apply it for body, but I see it's also used with wire, but seems to be a mimic of a bug body... I see it used, but no explanation. Not you, others, really not explaining a profile build of the why's, just the how.
Marabou, you explained, stem, thick or thin, tips, but I saw a lot of wasted marabou for a very short tail, and a big ass marabou feather being wasted. The snip was a good lesson, twist and cut. What about "chickapou" as smaller marabou for small jigs 1/4 oz to as little as 1/80 oz? Being beginner, I'm on a steep learning curve, lol!
Hey Gene! Thanks for watching!
Palmering = Wrapping, most commonly talked about with hackles, but can be done with rabbit strips, or other materials.
There will always be some wasted material, just part of the process.
I am going to talk about profiles, and proper material placement for streamers in a video very soon.
Stay tuned! 🙂
I haven't tied in over 45 years. Been working on supplies, etc. I have 2 different vises now and now I remember faintly tying from the tipoff feather, not the thick part. Each fly requires different technique. How do I know who has good quality capes and marabou online? I live over 2 hours away from nearest fly shop. Any recommendations? Much appreciated and thanks for the videp
Surprised, never saw anybody pick through bags of feathers at the shop close to me.
Please show me how to tie a Marabou Duckling. It would be great for bass, pike and monster large bluegill. Thanks!
Yes, and I subscribed today. Good stuff!
Great video! I'm curious I've been getting terrible marabou what marabou do you recommended for palmering and where can I buy high quality marabou? TIA
All marabou will Palmer, it just depends on the dimensions of the fly. If you are palmering on a small fly, then you can use regular, x-select marabou, I used blood quills for this video because it is a little longer and showed the technique better.
@@flyfishingtheozarks Thank you very much. I mainly tie small jigs for bass in the great lakes. Even though I don't tie flies I've learned a ton from your vids, thanks again 🎣
@@chriswachowiak7098 Great!! Good to hear!
Can that be done on a treble hook as well?
Sure. As long as there is a shank, it can be done.
Just watched a 2nd time, sadly more was uncovered about how I'm doing it wrong - when it came to my attention that a "Streamer Chronicle" session was not done on YOU.. Get Erik Griffin to host it! Same questions, same format.... its perfect.. (by the way, I'm on my way to up grade my POS (piece of $#it) $39.00 starter vise to a (soon to be official) Brian Wise "Signature" Peak Vise..
IE if I send the pedestal base to you.... would you sign it?
HAHAHA!! I know.....I never did a Streamer Chronicles on myself---could happen in the future. I like the way you think......PEAK listen to this man!!
flyfishingtheozarks what is the vice please
@@marklayland5424 The Brian Wise Signature Vise by Peak
@@marklayland5424 It is the Peak L.I.R.S vise......absolutely awesome.
@@flyfishingtheozarks thank you
What type of vice do y use?
Peak and Peak L.I.R.S, love them.
where did you get your vise base from?
alaskahalibutlodge.com/thegranitefly/ Best base EVER!
Noticed it too, very "substantial"!
Is that a watch or a transformer!?
Yes. ;-)
How do you get a fluffy marabou? Often times you find feathers with stringy tips which lead to ugly bugger tails. The fluff is down towards the butt of the feather. I’ve seen people snip off the stringy tips with a straight edge or their fingers; I have a hard time doing that. Other methods? Thanks
Open the bag at the shop before you buy, if at all possible. If ordering online, stay away from the "wooly bugger" marabou.
@@flyfishingtheozarks Hmm…another guy said the « woolly bugger » marabou is what I want, it has tips that have plenty of barbules up each feather so they are not stringy.
@@cachi-7878 The way most marabou works is the very end of the quill is the straight, stringy part of the feather. The farther down the quill you go, the more fluff you get. Wooly Bugger marabou is a super short quill, so by the time you get down the quill to the fluffy stuff, those fibers are usually pretty short. I use blood quills, and extra-select marabou the most.
@@flyfishingtheozarks OK. Who do you buy it from and which brands are best? Thanks.

Some of us are forced to order online, as there aren't any shops anywhere close. We are pretty much at the mercy of whoever picks our orders to ship.
