Very Nice Barry!! Might be an idea to leave the thread tag to be used to rib the peacock herl for durability. Think this would serve well to imitate the small cassis flies I see in the fast riffles. I'll tie up a couple with bright green or chartreuse thread and form a small (1 - 2 mm long) thread butt to represent the body on those caddis. Thanks for sharing! ATB. Hank
Hi Hank, thanks, yeah I do mention in the video that if you prefer a rib by all means do it, nice idea with the bright green thread, i'll give that a go!
Cracking little pattern indeed! I live in a warm area but this pattern gets monster blue gills and white bass just arguing over who gets it first, thanks for another gem.
Hey Barry, I love the way you did that but I am not clear on how how you held up the poly yarn. Never seen that done and do not know that tool you used. Could you send me a link and or explain it to me. Enjoy your book and your channel. Jim Holland👍
Hi Jim, thanks. Its a Gallows tool. I use the Petitjean one, but there are many designed on the market. www.google.com/search?q=gallows+tool&client=safari&rls=en&sxsrf=ALeKk03raTm2qolfaVc-gMyuNkeSroNWkA:1629124577831&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjc7YX-4bXyAhViRPEDHdFaA5IQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1516&bih=1299
can you please show how you are holding/fastening yarn for the loop please.i need to do it this way,i have tried with a loop and finger ,i can't do it that way,thank's.is there a special tool or jig to hold the yarn,if so what is it called.can i see a picture of this setup.
Hi Chuck, if you can manage the loop in your finger trick, you will need a gallows tool. This hangs over your vice jaws, like a hangman's gallows, and holds the poly yarn in place while you tie.
@@Thefeatherbender Sorry for the redundancy in my comment, I did not read previous ones prior to making it. I do want to say that your technique on this fly is unique and intriguing. Your videos are excellent, I have been tying for 35 years and I still love to watch a skilled artisan at the vise. Thank you.
Barry, another great job. Love your work. Thanks
Thank you.
WoW, brilliant with simplicity and scarce material. The paraloop stroke back and then tied on top is simply genius. I like this fly really much.
Glad you like it!
Great tying Barry , I will start tying these.🎣🎣🎣
This is the first time I've ever seen anything tied like that! Fantastic job!
Thanks Mike, you should check out my video on the paraloop hackle.
Very nice!...great floater and sighter for a lightweight dry/dropper duo setup....thanks for sharing
Thanks TJ, yes it floats very well!
My first time to ever see anyone tie like that ! Thank you again sir!
Thanks Terry, lots more technique videos here as well. Its easy when you learn how!
@@Thefeatherbender Is there any chance I can buy your book with your autograph sir?
That is a great pattern Barry. Thanks.
Thanks Simon.
Very nice!!! Tight lines🐛🐞🪲!!!!!
Thank you.
Exquisite. Profile of a tiny hedgehog. I’m going to use this pattern, if you don’t mind, in my tying classes.

Great fly. Thnx Barry
Thanks Paulus
Beautiful
Thanks Nick.
Could i ask what sizes do you normally tie to fish?
Hi Paul, yes It depends were I'm fishing but generally in # 16 & 18.
Smashing pattern bud
Thanks Junior.
Chris Skillen makes a fully rotary vice that incorporates a gallows tool that rotates with the jaws - a real beautiful piece of engineering;)
Interesting, I'll have to have a look at that.
Amazing!
Brilliant once again 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Steve.
Fantastic!!!

Excellent

Genuine Maestro 👌
Thank you.
Class!
Hi Barry nice fly, what size was the hackle you used I know the hook was a size14 also what was the thread also color thanks Mark
Hi Mark, thanks. The thread colour is red, I like the red head on this pattern and the hackle corresponds to the hook size.
thanks for the reply and info
What are you using to hold the Poly up? I enjoy making the Griffiths and I think the Paraloop would be an awesome addition to my arsenal.
Hi AJ, I am using a gallows tool, it hangs over the vice jaws with a clip that you can attach materials in to give you a free hand.
@@Thefeatherbender thanks for the information. I'll need to find one for my set up.
❤
Similar to tying a Front End Loader fly pattern. Same concept
Don't know the front loader!!
🔥👍
It was very helpful.
I will make for the next fishing line.(^^)
Спасибо! Удивили!
Супер 👍
Хитро и здорово.
YOu should call that a Hedgehog Griffiths
I'll remember that John.
