    @bradcrosby8722 It is mostly a winter pattern for me on my home River “the Bow”. I’ve caught a dozen or more 20 inch + rainbow on this exact pattern just in the last few weeks. It’s my February fly of the month.

  2. bradcrosby8722 says:

    What have you caught with these nice flies?

  3. humblefisherman says:

    @XooBONES when fly tying, or fly fishing for that matter, i’m in my own little world.

    @humblefisherman what are you in imaginary land

    I’m a printer in my real life, the ink dosn’t wash off my dry cracked river quenched fingers.

    @yourmotherFer

    wtf is this

  9. yourmotherFer says:

    well how did those green caddis work there humble?

  10. tigimitichinator says:

    is liquid lace just like stretch tubing?

  11. yourmotherFer says:

    @NannyWhip keep trying its very simple to do and it feels good to do something that others require a tool to do.

  12. NannyWhip says:

    @yourmotherFer I’ve tried and tried and can’t do that. The whip finish tool saves me a whole load of grief so I think I’ll stick with it as speed isn’t an issue with me.

  13. MultiPipiripi77 says:

    very nice my friend

  14. troutmonkey1 says:

    Nice flies! I’ve tweeked the blood worm concept a bit by running small wire inside the tubing to created a bit of a flashier effect. I’ll post a video when I get a chance.

  15. humblefisherman says:

    yes mother

  16. yourmotherFer says:

    and wash your hands!

  17. yourmotherFer says:

    Nice flies. Great ties. Learn to whip with your hand, ditch the tool, Your hands are the best damn tools you got and faster!

  18. snowboarddude117 says:

    is the bead a must have on this fly? if so would a gold colored one work?

  19. humblefisherman says:

    v-rib is a close second. pretty much the same thing.

  20. siresoul2 says:

    can you use stretchtubing instead of the liquid lace?? And great job on the fly

  21. wolfcado2 says:

    merci für die information.

  22. zakky678 says:

    v-rib would work just as well wouldnt it?

  23. humblefisherman says:

    blue glass beads from a local bead shop.

  24. 9FloodGate says:

    nice!

  25. snowboarddude117 says:

    what kind of bead is that?

  26. 724flyfisher says:

    Hi David, I’m a beginner in tying. I really enjoy your explanations, tips and showing closeups of not only the material being used but the step by step method. I have a number of your lessons saved within my YouTube play list. Thanks and keep making those lessons.

    you could just use the tinsel from christmas for the gold rib

  39. WEESTRAWZ says:

    thanks i now just use my fingers.

  40. dawgdrvr says:

    I started tying about 3 months ago. I have bought 3 or 4 books on tying fly’s. I have found that your tying lessons for beginners videos have been more helpful than any book I’ve read.

  41. TheFishingschool says:

    the varnish secures the knot like glue and if you are worried about the knot get a whip finishing tool

  42. WEESTRAWZ says:

    What does the varnish do? Also how do you tie the knot when you are tying off?

    Dave – just started tying my own flies about a year ago. I’ve found your instructions to be extremely helpful and I appreciate your insight. Thanks for the videos. Please keep making more!

  44. kombuchamama says:

    Dave you are a big help I have read many books that show you how to tyflys but none are as good as you are.

    P.S your good

  45. dml1010 says:

    Thats economical lol. Good idea.

  46. 349561 says:

    I think this will be helpful to me as a beginner. Once I learn how, though; I will be tying different flies, suited for Oklahoma fish and waters. Cheers-

  47. Kardall says:

    Get a Popsicle stick
    There are 2 types of Velcro, really heavy (lots of points in it) and lighter stuff which doesn’t have as many points in it.

    The more points in it, the more it’s going to pull on the dubbing.

    Anyway. You use glue or some kind of double sided tape to attach the Velcro to the Popsicle stick. Just cut it into little squares, pull apart the two sides of Velcro and glue it down so it looks like the one he has in the video.

  48. peanut333s says:

    when you said ‘keep me posted’, here we go! i made this fly with dog hair instead of dubbing material, and caught 2 trout over 4lb! youre the best mate!
