Congrats on finishing your thesis! As a biology student, I understand the struggle of balancing both your hobbies/passions and work/research. Happy to hear you will be posting more!
A podcast topic that I would love to hear about is anything saltwater. Maybe talk about the difference flies you might use, materials, colors, etc. You could also talk about the different species people catch. (Both popular and not so popular.)
I love learning. The helpful instructions and pointers about not being over technical and rather enjoying and letting your experience and exposure to mistakes ie less is more - be your teacher really helps. I’ll never forget my first 10 or so times whip finishing, almost bending the hook trying to get it to let go haha. Love your videos
So awesome to hear you were taught by your grandfather and still use some of his stuff today. Here's hoping you get to pass it on to your future grandson one day!
I really really like the way you do the podcast, and being able to see you make different flies while you talk. It almost like we’re sitting in front of your table and you’re just chatting with us. And congratulations on finishing your doctorate.
Just started watching your channel and am completely overwhelmed with your skilfulness creating these flies. I have been looking for a hobby to release my artistic interests so thank you for your channel, yes I'm hooked! My current set up is a needle nosed vice grip and braded fishing line, having a blast conjuring up things to try out. Thank you
Podcast topic, I'd like to hear more about all the specific terms you use to describe fly tying steps. Also, very cool to hear about your work outside of fly tying! I was working a career at the same time I made it through my doctoral candidacy exam and a few months later decided to focus on my job for the paycheck instead of completing my thesis. Very impressive that you stuck it out!
Congratulations! I’m quite familiar with C. elegans, well, technically, I’m familiar with sorting them. It was cool to hear this crossover of interests that I could recognize.
Podcast topic, I'd like to hear more about what the flies best immitate and when they're best used for (water conditions, weather exc). Your channel is incredible and I hope you flourish! 😁 It's really helped me understand how to get into fly fishing as a beginner.
It'd be interesting to hear if you've ever caught any unusual or unexpected species while fly fishing. Idk if that's something you've had experience with, but it seems like everyone I've ever talked to has at one time or another put the wrong lure in the right place and caught something they weren't intending to, but I don't know any fly fishers so I'm curious what variations you might have on that theme haha
Dr fly I know you are busy I'm glad you will be making more videos congratulations on your doctorate a good topic is rainbow trout why some have white meat some orange ? Cutthroat steelhead😊
Hello Sir, Will you go into colors under water? how far light penetrates, and why fish would choose to bite a purple bugger or blue one that kinda thing? Thank you for what you do, I now how hard it is to run a youtube channel, and you've got like 9 =)
Hey man this is the first podcast of yours that I’ve listened to and I loved it, I have been wanting to get into fly tying and my question is what in your opinion do you think is a good starter fly to try and tie.
Hey this is Reid I have really been getting into fly tying and I have begun to master many patterns do you have any advice for a guy looking to possibly start a channel or selling flys themselves?

And how long does it typically take for you to make a fly and how long do you think the average beginner would take?

Where do you buy the material you use?
When practicing casting, what would you focus on as a beginner?
