    I've always scratched my head on the big fish/teeny tiny flies thing. Watched a guy fishing the Paradise years ago. He landed a mid-20s brown on a size 24! I doubt I can even tie one of those on the tippet!

Nice to see the fishing trip facial growth too 👌You must've had a great time in your "tic tac" ufo, or is it uap, trailer 😉 Wish I had one back in the day, better than staying in the pickup bed. Thanks for sharing your good time and tying/fishing skills, you the man!

    • @SavageFlies
      @SavageFlies  10 месяцев назад +1

      OMG you are funny Joe! That's a great name for the camper... a Silver Tic Tack trailer. Of course my daughter already named it (I think that's a thing in the Airstream cult, which I'm learning is kind of what it is). So we're calling our little guy Thumper. But speaking of sleeping in the bed of the truck, I've done that plenty of times too! I actually bought a truck tent a couple years ago. I used it one time and it was too much of a pain pulling it down to drive somewhere if I was on more than a one-night trip. But yeah, the camper was nice. Stove, refrigerator, shower, regular size bed, and a table I could use for tying! And oh, a heater which was nice a couple of nights in PA. Now regarding the facial hair, oh yeah. Usually I hold off until no-shave November but I was off all week, so just let it go. Now everybody at work likes the goatee so I may keep it for a while. Fun times. :-)

    Hi Matt. I just spent three days fishing in the Catskills upper WB Delaware. Sulfurs there and BWO on the Beaverkill. We did well with similar looking flies on a dry dropper combo. Missed a couple too. Nice when you can really dial it in! Nice brown!

    Love these ties. I use trigger point fibers for wings when I occasionally tie them in . Makes for a high visibility nice floating fly . I'm sure you found that out using the polly . Nice video on Penns . Keep them coming

    • @SavageFlies
      @SavageFlies  10 месяцев назад

      Yes indeed David! I feel a little like I'm cheating on our forefathers when I use some poly material when they used white duck slips for upright wings. But you know, they might have done the same thing if they had all the options we do today!

      Well thank you Todd! I do feel a little cheesy swapping poly for what our forefathers might have tied with white duck slips, but when I think about it, they might have done the same thing if they had the material options we do today. :-)

Next up, catching with the Sulfur? Just kidding. I can’t imagine trying to make a video while trying to fish as well.
