Nice fly👍

[@paulallen7651]

Beautiful!
I wonder if you would have to carry a brush to tidy flies that have been chewed.😊

[@joeduca8582]

Simon, thanks for the link, that guy is awesome! Something about Scandinavian design comes through in in these flies. It must be in your genes. I love it!

[@HacklesAndWings]

+Joe Duca You're welcome. Yes he makes some of the best flies I've seen.

+12ernie Thank you very much glad you liked it

Very nice fly. I am not sure how I missed it last week but I have seen it now. I have become very fond of the semperfly 18/0 thread. It is more expensive but amazingly strong! Thanks for introducing it. I probably wouldn't have ever found it as I had to send across the country to buy it and have it delivered. Maine, USA is a rural state and money is usually hard to come by for most people. It is especially great for tiny flies. All the best, Sean (Love the black one too.)

[@HacklesAndWings]

Thank you! Great that you like the thread and found a place to get it. It has become my favorite thread in no time. So amazing, especially, as you say, for small flies. All the best, Simon.

[@HacklesAndWings]

+Sasaamann Thank you! Starting next week, there will be 2 videos per week again and a lot more stuff!

[@Sasaamann]

Looking forward to it, good luck. :) Start some blog site, that would be good discuss about materials and flies. If you need some graphic design help or something like that, feel free to contact me.

[@HacklesAndWings]

+Sasaamann I have been thinking about starting a blog or something and thank you, if I need any help, I'll definitely come back to you. Thank you so much

[@MyroslavG]

thanks for sharing your videos! as always great! You have your own style in fly tying which is very cool.
I was just wondering what kind of vise you use?
All the best
Myroslav

[@HacklesAndWings]

Thank you very much!
The vise I'm using is the Swiss Vise Anniversary Edition from Marc Petitjean www.petitjean.com/online/en/swiss-vise/181-swiss-vise-25th-anniversary-limited-edition-1990-2015.html
All the best,
Simon

[@paulus0109]

Great patterns. Thnx for the explenation.

[@joeduca8582]

beautiful streamers Simon! I had to make popcorn for this full length feature ;-) . I enjoyed every minute! I love this style of "chubby" minnow. Clark Pierce has alot of similar patterns. Thanks Simon, really great looking pattern. The zonker strip looked very full and wild. Was it rabbit?

[@HacklesAndWings]

+Joe Duca Thank you! Yes this video got a bit lengthy, will try to make them a little more consice in the future, must have been tired ;)
The guys from flyfishfood sure have a lot of mean streamer patterns and yes the zonker was rabbit. The regular size from hareline. Don't remember the color though.

[@ivancotterill6059]

Hi, great video. I have purchased the materials for tying this fly. Can you advise what is your trusted trout mix. I must have missed the video that explained the mixture.
Thanks
Ivan

[@HacklesAndWings]

Thank you! The trout mix is brown rabbit fur dub, dark hare's ear plus and some SLF Prism in fl. fire orange. Good luck with the tying.

[@stephenwelham]

Do you think that better and stronger fly would to use the ribbing to fix the Zonker you can still apply glue to the Zonker strip leather before ribbing ? Regards Steve

[@HacklesAndWings]

You can always add a rib of either wire or nylon but on smaller sizes like this I don't think it adds a lot of durability. Or if you aren't putting any cement I would certainly rib it All the best, Simon

[@Coastalfishes]

Any way I could buy this, do you sell these?

[@HacklesAndWings]

Hi, yes I sell these, just send me an email to [e-mail] and we'll get something going
