great tips, great fly tying, although with the Booby i like to crease the foam with my finger nail forming a indent to lay across the hook then tie it in i find this method works well. Keep the video’s coming great !!
Hi David, I’ve never thought of pushing the hook through the sponge great idea so obvious when you think about it i’ll try that next time keep the ideas coming. cheers Alan.
Fished boobie style flies in the states for quite a few years although I usually use more floating dragon,strawman or tadpole patterns.
Is there any kind heads like that boobie but sinking ones?
It would be so much easier if you used a whip finish tool.
booby haha?
up untill around 2:40 it coulda also be a good egg pattern for steelhead and salmon and other egg feaders
“We call it a Booby for our friend, Dolly Parton”. Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha! Mr. Camiss just slid that one right by me! I love these videos and my flies are much the better for them. I had to go back and replay that part to be sure I’d heard right. Priceless!
do u know how to tie a yellow dancer
I live in Louisville, KY Dave and I am very excited about learning how to tie flys. My dad and I are going to learn soon – but you have given me a great start. You are a GREAT teacher. Thank you so much for all the information.

Hi
Happy New Year
I have been collecting and scrounging fur and feathers for 60 yrs. and have quite a collection. Many can be found whilst fishing. another source is find a friend who shoots for the pot.Some you will have to buy! If you buy a book with fly patterns you will get an idea of what to look for.

shiny
i’ve watched all your videos and where do you get all your feathes from becuse i dont want to buy things like whole wings and body and head (cant wait for next video)
Hi,
Another name for booby tube is called Plastazote Pills. You can buy these from Steve Parton’s fishing tackle, check my own website for the link to his site.
Regards DaveC and the Team.
Hi David,
Glad your still enjoying the videos. More intermediates on the way.
Regards DaveC. and the Team.
Great video, and nice fly! Where can I buy the large pack of booby tube that you have? Thanks.
@CarlNS1 What an ugly little kid
what an ugly old man
FANTASTIC!!! Inspiring many of us to try this for the first time!!!
Hi Dave, great fly i’ve tied a lot of these they fish really well keep up the good work. Alan
Wow! Fishing! That definitely should be put on the internet in order to fill up more of the internet!
@gergorymoore Excellent videos!! Your lessons have been the most informative of any I have found on the net. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Please tell me what brand of vise you are using in your video. Thank you, John S.
What a great series of lessons. Thanks, Dave.
you have very good video im still learning to ty fly.
David you lost me after the florescent chenille…What did you use for the wing /thorax case? I didn’t see ant thing shinny in the material list
fly tying is an art lol 🙂
to me
i started tying flies when i was 12, little pink flies for humpies… and have been ever since. its a great hobby.
not to mention the money you save by not buying the flies
Fly fishing is amazing hobby:D
wow i am 13 and i am really interested in fly fishing. i have only tied few buzzers but i have got to say it is so much more satisfying catching on your own flies! and my next aim is to fly the Montana Nymph!!
Hi Dave! Love watching these videos. Here in the States we call head varnish “head cement”. Catching fish with flies i tied myself is a bit more satisfying. Here in Connecticut just downstream from a reservour in a semi deep gorge i catch Walleye with weighted Woolley Buggers.Black is most productive but i have caught many fish with other colors. I used my cats hair for dubbing and some say cat being a predator is a problem. Have any thoughts on this?
Mr. Cammis:
I am indeed flattered to get a personal response. I did “tackle” tying this particular pattern after watching your video a few times and getting my gear together and organized. This past Sunday I was able to catch two very nice blue gills from some flooded weeds, as well as the back of my right ear. (I was a bit excited about catching a fish on my own fly and fumbled my cast!) I always mash the barbs, though, so both fish and I were easily released.
Thanks again.

Hi monstercatambush
Thanks for your comments. Hope you do get the gear and have a go at tying your own flies. Once you start you will find it addictive.
Happy fishing
DaveC.and the Team
Excellent series, Mr. Cammis! I had considered tying my own flies for quite some time but the explanations I’ve read in books were kind of confusing. These videos are very clear. Thanks!
It’s so refreshing to find well thought out, informative videos on You Tube. A welcome change to the 99.5 percent garbage out there. Thanks!
im not good at saying thankyou to people.. but you are really heplful and very nice to post it on youtube for others to watch and learn.
thanx
when i tie this i normaly put some flash in the tailand i dont weight it and i use green hackle wound round the thorax sounds weird but it works very well for rainbows n big browns
Here in the States we call it “head cement”. A name brand, Flexament. Get the smaller size as it almost always dries out in the bottle before i use it all.
Hey Jr
Can you recomend a varnish, such as a brand or that?
Cheers
nail varnish/polish is acetone. can disolve some materials on contact. Spend the extra pound.
