I’ve tied so many PT nymphs and still I learn so much watching your thoughtful techniques. Thanks again.
I am glad it helps. Thank you for your comment. 🍻
Thanks for these great detailed tips as ever Vladimir...especially how to keep tails straight when using counter-wrapped wire etc...like the profile the jig-off beads give to nymphs too
Thank you so much for your comment. Glad i wqs of help. Jig off is amazing bead for sure
Always great tips. Thank you so very much
Thank you so much for watching. Have a great day.
Cheers

Very good explains about tying materials. I,m spanish fly fisher and here use dry and emerger flies all season. Perdigon and nimphs in the begining of the season. Very interesting all of your videos about emerger and dry flies. Here in Spain use 20, 22 and 24 size of hooks to make emerger flies when the trout are very selective to fish.
Thanks for your videos. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Glad you like it. I love emergers. Those flies are the best. Especially in small sizes which are not favorite for many people. I had some very difficult fish eating my tiny flies when all else failed.
@@Oholisfliesandfishing Exactly. Where places do you fish normally? What rivers? I was fishing in Patagonia the pass year and catch the trout so easy with Big flies. In Spain the trout is very dificult to catch without small flies.
Litle emerger and very long tippet is necesary to catch Big fish.
Here is in the ende of the season and the trout are very dificult.
Have a good day and good fishing.
@@franciscojavierpampliegaga1864 i am from Serbia. My last few videos are Serbia. One from Montenegro. But i live in china and here i fish for some weird fish with weird habits 😃😃
I can imagine Patagonia was a blast?
Great content, thanks!!
Thanks so much for watching :)
👍🏻 super Video! Pozdrav
Hvala puno druze. 🍻
Yet another great video! I really enjoyed watching this and the way you explain about the material!
Could you please do a video on techniques for making a hackle for a small dry fly with regular hen feathers- my question is how to do a small hackle when we don’t have genetic saddle feathers :)
Thanks for your kind words. Why hen? Tell me what is small dry fly for you? I consider 18 and smaller as small...and usually i dont put hackle on small dries. Cdc is perfect for them
@@Oholisfliesandfishing , I was asking for hen, because I have lots of Indian hen and rooster capes that are just laying around. For me regular size fly is 12/14 and small are 16/18 - I usually don’t tie anything smaller than 18, since even the 18 with quite bight parachute post is still very hard for me to see. I was thinking about putting the fibres in a dubbing loop and kinda making the parachute or the hackle :) do you think that will work?
@@finessefishing3870 having hen for dry flies isnt good solution. That feather wont float nearly as good as rooster will. And indian rooster will float basically as genetic hen.... so...my suggestion is not to bother with dubbing loop with bad hackle.
Either get good hackle or use no hackle flies that have wings made from cdc or snowshoe.
You can use guard hairs in dubbing loop to make hackle. Or snowshoe in dubbing loop to make hackle...
"Bad" feathers as you call them can simply be steamed back to life.
You cant steam brittle feathers. Broken barbs and some others. I am talking that bad barb alignment is indicating the feather is bad
@Oholisfliesandfishing nothing will save a garbage feather, I agree but I assumed that was understood. Brittle or crispy feathers as long as they are not broken can absolutely be steamed back to life. That's the purpose of it. Bent feathers can be straightened as well.
brittle can be straightened but not made strong again. At least not that i know of... I do steam feathers but mostly to kill some possible pests and to kind of revive it a bit... useful for classic winged flies. @@augustonthefly
I am using 4 cm long barbs and for bigger hooks I make the tail with 2-3 separate barbs , than I use 6-7 barbs to make the body faster with less wraps 😅
Thats also ok. I love when i find very long barbs. But its not very often. Once i found some feathers near some river, barbs were around 10cm long... Best PT ever.
