Figured I'd drop a quick note as I was watching your UV resin curing. Especially on the first fly. Not knowing what UV torch you're using. If you work with Solarez, I'd recommend taking a peak at their website to see what is the recommended wavelength UV light is needed to cure their products and make sure your UV torch matches. Additionally, a well charged battery will help and don't blast it too closely. I feel like the black ran upward on your first fly because of the heat caused by a blast of UV. Lastly, I find that doing a quick 2-3 seconds exposure then let it rest 5 seconds then blast again works better to not build up too much heat. Or doing multiple layers rather than coating the who thing in one shot. I also tend to do a final blast of 45 seconds to really finish things up and that's when I'd finally grab the fly without worrying that it could get tacky or discolor. If the weather is good I just leave the fly in the plain sun for an hour or more. I know it's a lot of steps but I've never had resins cracking, get tacky or change color over time.
Thank you, best way is to find me on Instagram for an order but my email is also in the about section of my UA-cam home page. Just send me a message or email with whatcha want and I can get you pricing
I think I said in the video. I’m not remembering right now. And I am too busy right now to go back and look. But watch the video with the sound on, I think I discuss what the names of the materials
@@McFlyAngler I asked the guys at my local fly shop and they were able to help me out. Thanks again for the great video. Going euro nyphing in PA the next couple of days.
Nice video! I know that it's unrelated but I was thinking of getting a 2 or 3 weight fly rod, but I don't know what fly rod to get and I don't have a huge budget. Any thoughts?
Well, reels are less particular than rods. Mainly they are line holders. Most important aspect is the rod and line, then for most trout fishing, reel comes 2nd. So personally, I’d spend your money on line and rod, then save on the reel. Risen sells a nice reel called the armor for $99. Or you can get a cheap Chinese reel from max catch If you wanna save a little. But, risen at least had a great lifetime warranty, so you might want to spend the extra money and get a better reel with a better warranty. Here use my discount code “McFly” at checkout when ordering from risen. It will get you an extra 15% off. Or if you call them to order just let them know you found them though me and they will give you the discount. I know the owner well now since I’ve been using their stuff, and so they offered all my subscribers 15% off their stuff.
@@McFlyAngler Thanks again. I think I may have found a good reel. Have you ever tried tenkara? I have read a little about tenkara and it sounds interesting.
Yeah man, turns out this new mic is directional. So it only picks up my voice. Such an improvement. If I was using my last mic, you would have had to hold your ears. Lol’.
Great ties, playing around on the vice is always fun. I really like that shiny thread you used on the first one
Thanks, yeah it’s good stuff that thread. My goodness. It makes some super pretty flies. I’ve got it in a few other colors
Beautiful fly that looks like food. Sometimes less is more. Well done McFly!
Thanks

Ok thanks for the heads up.

I said on there, called magic quill. Synthetic
Good video

Glad you got the answers you were looking for

Go with risen. Great stuff for a good price
Btw, just went and fished with the risen genesis yesterday, it’s a 3wt, and I was able to cast small bass poppers, streamers, etc.
@@McFlyAngler Thanks for the advice. The genesis sounds like a good option. Do you have any recommendations for a reel?

Hi I've been watching your UA-cam channel for a couple of weeks now are you able to ship any of your flies over to the UK or not
Yes I can, the shipping is a little high, but if you buy enough flies then the cost per fly Definately will not be too bad.
What’s the difference between euro ties and American ties???
A euro nymph is a style of fly. People in Europe use other flies also. Just it’s named for where it came from.
Thank you
No problem
Yes I can hear your kids
🤙🏼
👍
No way bro why you upload a private vid
I recently uploaded a video I deleted, sorry. It was about selling a reel, and I realized after uploading it, the reel is no longer available
Nice fly! I checked Risen flys. They look good. Have you used the other hooks of theirs also? Tight lines🦟🪲🐞🦗!!!!!
Yes I have used most of their stuff and it’s all top quality
Thanks
Can hardly hear them b4 you said u were pausing
Yeah man, turns out this new mic is directional. So it only picks up my voice. Such an improvement. If I was using my last mic, you would have had to hold your ears. Lol’.
