Great Video and pattern Mr.Clarke
Hello from the Yellowstone and Black Hills valleys.
We had some unbelievable Char (Brook Trout where we come from) fishing using a elk hair mouse this spring when we went way North into Canada and fished the rivers and streams connecting lakes....it was an absolute blast ! We had only heard of Brook Trout growing that big and oh so beautiful...finally got that off our bucket list !
Cheers my Friend.

Hi Barry - I notice in your videos you always tend to use 14/0 thread (obvs various colours) can I ask why, that fine a thread most of the time, not a complaint am just interested. thx

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Kevin, Sheer is a lightly waxed fine thread that is very strong and is available in all the colours needed. The super fine thread creates little build-up making flies less bulky. It is also cheaper than just about all other threads, so you get a lot of thread for your money.
