I thought I was the only one who ties like this Charlie. I'm right hand and the left handed also.. Pretty cool to see. Thanks for sharing all these old school flies tied in the modern age.
Thanks Charlie! I’ve heard from my mentors that Vince Marinaro & Ed Shenk used to just cut the head as square as they could in four cuts and go fish! 🤣🤫 thanks for the tutorial… 👍🏽
My favorite hopper pattern (sorry Charlie, although the Charlie Boy is a close 2nd)). A perfect combination of good looks and fun to tie. In regards to steaming deerhair, when I try that I end up partially melting the synthetics in the pattern. Crystal flash is the worst. Im not leaving the flies in the steam for too long and the melting seems to happen instantly. Thought?
RIP Dave Whitlock, easily one of the most innovative tiers ever. Thanks Charlie for being one of the greats to carry on the torch.
Looks tough to ty. It will take some practice. Tight lines🐛🐜🕷️!!!!!
WOW, GREAT VIDEO ... FISH ON 🎣
Super looking tie! Thanks for sharing. 🎣
Nice fly, Charlie. Love how you show at the end you still have all your fingers…😂
BOOM 💥 CHARLIE !!!!

Great pattern and excellent demo video.

You are an artist.

Steam. I’m going to try that. When did you figure that trick out?

Thanks! I fished these a lot last summer, and always wondered how to tie them. They are like 4 bucks a pop at my local fly shop, yikes.
Круто 👍👍👍
Nice tie Charlie. I realize that this is not your pattern, but I've never understood the reasoning behind the square shaped head.
Dave was the master. I have caught so many fish on that pattern its ridiculous. It is a b?$&@ to ty though😂
