For sure a more summer fly, agreed. Usually during the normal terrestrial fishing months. It’s a classic and one I always have in my box though even through winter. I like it cause it can float high and even hold up beaded nymphs, however it can be tied small and still occasional hits on it in the winter. Just not as effective as summer for sure.
Hey Shawn. The video looks great, looks like you stepped up your production and I like it. Did you get a new camera? the close shot looks nice and sharp. Cheers
Thanks! Yeah I’ve had the same camera for about a year now, however I always tied one angle, and over my shoulder. Now, I put the camera closer to the hook, and in between me and the fly. Makes it about 10 times more difficult to tie because the camera actually blocks my view of the fly. I look through the view finder of the camera to tie the fly now. But, it does increase the crispness and quality of the video I think. Thanks for noticing! :)
Also I’ve been really working on tweaking the camera settings and finding the perfect ones. That month I took off filming I was able to find some time to really work at the production level.
Nice one! Thanks for the video and descriptions of everything you are doing.
Thanks! :) Happy to do it, glad your enjoying the videos!
Simple and effective… Thanks for sharing!
That’s how I like it! Haha. Who likes tying a bug that takes an hour and is hard to tie when you might loose it to a tree. Lol
Nice trick with the rubber legs
Thanks
Good fly. Use them here in upstate New York, mostly during the summer

I wish I was that good already but I’m working on it to get better. Heading back out to the Pecos and I have plenty of different type of flies.
Oh man, you can tie this fly! It’s not that hard at all. And really I’m not all that good, but thank you.
Great video BTW. Ive been practicing and I know in time I will get better.
Absolutely! All it is is practice. Keep workin at it and you will always continue to improve.
Exactly.
nice job great vid
Thankss

Ya, looks great. I do the same with the camera angle and I can appreciate how tricky it makes tying a fly. Keep up the great production.
Thanks! Yeah, the flies I tie on video usually don’t come out as nice because of it... haha
What camera do you use?
