Leave it to you Barry, I’m impressed. Another trick in your tying bag. Thanks for sharing such great knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it Stan, thanks.
Let's face it, we tie and watch tying videos for different reasons, mostly therapeutic I believe but, while watching someone tie, one is often too quick to naively think one could do better, and I challenge all backseat tiers to try filming themselves tying even the simplest pattern to realise that nothing is further from the truth. BOC's expertise in this field is especially evident. I love this pattern and, being a Petitjean fan, had tried using a split thread approach to applying CDC to a post but ended up converting that to a paraloop pattern instead. I love the poly-weld technique that Barry has introduced here and really feel it offers a significant paradigm shift to this type of fly.
Thanks Paul, positive feedback is always welcome. Its not difficult, but like all techniques, it has to be learned and practiced. Once mastered you can apply it to many other patterns.
Sweet, gonna try this one tomorrow, it's the next in line for the book challenge I'm doing of yours.
Thanks Rocky, it works very well, good luck with it.
that is amazing....being new at fly tying i enjoyed watching....thank you berry for sharing you talent....have a awesome day....thanks again.
Thank you Harry, good luck with it.
Amazing! There are so many things I like about this pattern. Another fabulous video, Barry. Not sure how I'd missed it until now.
Thanks James. its a nice technique to make use of in other patterns as well.
Barry, I’ve been tying and creating numerous innovative patterns for myself over the past sixty years, and I’ve caught numerous trout on them. For many years, I’ve used a cauterizing tool to remove errant fibers; BUT, I’ve never thought about melting a poly-post with it the way you’ve demonstrated here. The technique is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, and I’m definitely going to add it to my arsenal. Thank you or helping to generate such global interest among so many new fly-tyers with your well-wrought and detailed videos. Your innovation in tying approaches is laudatory. Happy tying and stay safe!
Hi Will, thank you for the kind words. Yes you can use the C tool for many things, check out some of my other videos with new techniques, there are many...
@@Thefeatherbender I most assuredly will check out ALL your videos because I appreciate your attention to detail, creativity and clarity of directions. I’m also now a proud owner of your recently published tying book which I am thoroughly enjoying.
In my life, I’ve had amazing privilege of being taught how to improve my fly tying by two now sadly departed giants of fly design, both of whom were Catskill legends. For three years, every Saturday, I sat beside Ralph Graves, one of the very best tyers I’ve ever met. In fact, the late Mr. Graves gave me his HMH heavy bronze base pedestal vise in 1970.
I was also a close friend, and fished with, Poul Jorgensen, who was a neighbor when I lived in the Livingston Manor - Roscoe, NY area. Poul authgored many books on fly fishing, and he was a giant in salmon fly tying!
If you ever come across Poul’s Atlantic Salmon fly tying video, you’ll see that I reviewed it; and my quotes are on the jacket case of the video.
I also fished with Lee Wulff for a couple of years prior to his plane crash, and when the two volume video of Mr. Wulff came out, I reviewed it for the videographer (Michael Gold), and my quotes are on Mr. Gold’s video case.
I also had a wonderful relationship with Nick Lyons (publisher) and the legendary Ernie Schweibert. I learned so much about fly fishing and fly design from Ernie that I wouldn’t know where to begin a discussion of his vast knowledge base.
Once, while fishing on a new stretch of water, I came across a man who introduced me to the Parmachene Belle wet fly. He gave me one of his and we fished side by side. On the third or fourth cast, I caught a gorgeous 8-inch wild brookie. That man was Art Flick!
I’ve truly been so lucky to have known and associated with so many legendary fly fishers and fly tyers. I guess I was frequently in the right place at the right time.
At the time, I was simultaneously writing, editing and publishing the monthly newsletters of the NYC Chapter of Trout Unlimited AND Theodore Gordon Flyfishers. It was a glorious time.
I began fly fishing in 1959 and I’ve fly fished ever since, as well as teaching others to fly fish and tie trout flies. In 1990, I worked as an instructor for Al Caucci at he Delaware River Club in Starlight, PA, and in 1995 I began my own fly fishing school, Wild Trout University, in Horton, NY on the Beaverkill River, from which I retired in 2006. Over the last 15 years, I’ve traveled throughout the NE running fly fishing seminars and doing fly tying demonstrations. I suspect over the past 65+ years I’ve caught and released some 50K trout; but, far more importantly more importantly, I’ve started over 3000 students on the proper path to catching and releasing trout in my classes.
As age has now caught up with me, I can no longer fish my usual 200 days a year, and I’ve slowed down a step or two; BUT, I still get out once or twice a week as I now live in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, and I have a dozen or so excellent trout streams less than a half hour away.
Currently, I exhibit my artwork in a number of area art galleries , and prior to the current health situation I was teaching adults in evening college painting classes (oil, acrylics, and watercolor…see WillDaskal.com to view some of my work, if you wish.)
Once the COVID-19 epidemic subsides, I will be running ongoing fly fishing and fly tying classes through East Stroudsburg University and The Older Adult Learning Center for area senior citizens.
It’s been a storied and highly fulfilling life, and I am still relishing every day and every salmonid that finds one of my creations of gustatory delight!
Stay safe and keep producing your brilliant instructive videos!
Tight lines, now and always….
Will
A most excellent pattern and an even better tie, SO well done, and as always a sheer pleasure watching your technique my friend. You really have something great in this pattern. L 👍🎣👍
Thank you Leonard, its always nice to get positive feedback!
Hi Barry, I apply a tiny dab of UV resin on the base of the parachute as soon as I tie it in, pull it up into position and set with a torch. It makes life much easier when the winding begins and doesn't interferer with the fly.
Thanks I'll give that a go.
Thanks so much Barry, I received the new foot for my vice. Lovely fly. All the best, Sean
Barry I have not gone through your book yet (not all of it) so I don't know if this is in there, but it is brilliant and I will give it a try. That parachute can work with any fly so wow! What a thing!
I think they moose hair bodies "Quill," because it is the style. I have a plethora of moose from the old days when I harvested moose to feed my family. Thank you Barry for all of your hard work.
Excellent, yes it is in the book with all the written info you need to tie and master this pattern.
@@Thefeatherbender I will be. I sit and read a little a couple times a week, before I start tying. To get my mind right.
You demonstrated this recently in Glasgow and it is nice to see that you have really thought the design of this through so it comes together and looks like like it will work well. I think I will try one on a Klinkhammer hook.
Thank you!
Hi Richard, good talking too you at GAC. Thanks and good luck with it!
I like it. Ill give it a go. I have been tying in a little ball of foam then splitting thread for CDC and wrapping round foam, but this looks a better technique
Hi Derek, no need to use foam with CDC! Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
Hi Barry, got my cautery tool yesterday. Gave the fly a go today. I like it. Will take a few goes to get to grips with the technique, but I think its easier and less bulky than the foam post way.
I love the footprint of the hackle.
Its giving me ideas for the Mayfly hatch, here in Victoria, next season. Thanks
I hadn't yet subscribed when you originally posted this. This is a brilliant concept. Backlit on the water, it casts a perfect profile. Really love the CDC hackling with the Magic Tool. Cheers, mate!
Nice fly! I think I would put less dubbing prior to wrapping the wing, then add some more dubbing to hide the thread and finally whip finish in front.
Thanks for the tip, but with this technique the whole idea is that there is no thread to hide and you don't have to dubb anything after you have wrapped the hackle!
@@Thefeatherbender I believe there was a bit of thread exposed, the tag end of the dubbing loop brought forward after wrapping the CDC. It’s probably very short but OK, I get your point.
Very clever will give this a go I am a big fan of cdc flies. Thanks Barry.
Thanks Tom, it works very well.
I would love to see you tying flies on 14, 16 and 18 hooks as I use that size most
Hi, Thanks. I have done many videos on 14 & 16, but the way I film the videos in POV, its difficult to tie and film on anything smaller than a 16
@@Thefeatherbender its just because the river I fish in Scottish borders is full of little trout about 6 inches long, to be honest they are great fun and bloody hard to catch,,there are bigger ones obviously but getting past the little ones is hard lol
Thank you for sharing this technique. Very innovative with an impressive result!
Thanks David.
I really like this technique with the Cdc parachute hackle and moose mane body , I use moose mane quite often instead of peacock Quill but at the moment moose mane is impossible to obtain in the UK.
Thanks Brian. I know Veniard have recently got a bunch but if not try Natures Spirit, there dealer in the UK is Funky FlyTying.
Thanks for the reply Barry, Last time I looked on funky flytyings website they were out of stock in natural and most of the colours I would use, fortunately I probably have enough to last me until the BffI when I will hopefully be able to pick some up.
wow, this is nice. I bet this fly tied Adams style would be awesome
Excellent fly! Tight lines🐜🦗🪰!!!!!
Thanks Robert!
that's incredibly clever
Excellent idea, probably work quite well for standard hackle if wound close and tight enough. Thank you for sharing. Enjoying your ideas and ties imensely
Thanks Karl, yeah maybe it would! Always good to get positive feed back.
Very Nice
Thanks Jim.
Another awesome technique, Barry. I'm grateful for your knowledge. I'm working my way through your book one fly at a time - The Feather Bender's Flytying Techniques - and just sent a copy to my fishing/tying buddy for Christmas. It's a beautiful compiliation that every serious tying fisherman should own. Question - when wrapping the spun CDC around the post, what exactly are you using for your dubbing tool? I can't tell I have a relaitively heavy spinning tool about 12 CMs long with 3 optional "extensions" for holding the loop. It's kinda big and clunky. I'm still learning and probably always will. Thanks!
Hi Jim, thank you! The dubbing twister I use for this technique is from Marc Petitjean. Its excellent for light weight materials: www.petitjean.com/online/en/tying-tools/135-mp-twister.html
@@Thefeatherbender Thank you, Barry!
Brilliant!
Thanks John.
Really impressed!
Thanks
hey Barry, great video. Do you have a video on how to use the Magic clip?
Thanks Gordon, yes I do, ua-cam.com/video/ShuWsnX17jk/v-deo.html
Just search for Marc Petitjean
And use shocking pink PP yarn for the post :)
Very stunning video❤. How many cdc feather you use for wings? Thanks
Thanks. It depends on the hook size, but on this one I have used two.
Hi Barry, at 10:41 the video jumps forwards - the part where you start to wind the hackle up the post. It shows you starting, then all of a sudden it's finished. I presume you wind up, then wind back down towards the base, overlapping? I've made a few of these now in different hook sizes. I really like them. I will experiment with different polypropylene colours - probably something high viz, hoping that when I burn it down it remains a high viz. I also tied the body with high resolution printed quills instead of moose hair, securing them with UV resin. I think you have designed a really super fly. Fun to tie, and hopefully to fish with. I wonder what other colour combinations you would suggest? Thanks and congratulations.
Hi Alms, yes thats right I just shortened the winding process of up and then down just like a para loop hackle.
Love that melting technique- ta Barry
Awesome fly Barry. Those sissors are killer ! Whose are they ?
Thanks Patrick, they are from Marc Petitjean.
Is that method more durable than the original Ed Engle stacking method?
Hi Bob, I am not familiar with Ed Engle's method but it is very durable.
Thanks Barry. I'll be sure to give it a go when I get back to the vise.
