I had absolutely no idea this was a thing people did and I have absolutely no idea why this video was recommended to me however I am amazed by this, it must take so much precision and concentration and for that I admire you
I tied flies with my grandfather when I was a little boy. It was a blast when i left the army i decided to give it another go but i can't use a fly rod so i stopped. I still love watching it being done it's very soothing.
When I saw the quality of the wing and how you used the resin top trick, I thought “This man is talented AND he has a big brain”. always so incredible and educational. Thank you.
The ones who tie flys are such great artists and so creative!! I only tie simple Crappie jigs but really admire and love watching fly ties! Awesome job!
Perfect patience - delicate way of tying. With technical flies like this one, I definitely need to learn your patience and calmness without being frustrated with so many elements in the way.
Excellent use of UV resin! I’ve been fly tying/fishing as a hobby for quite a while now, and have never seen it used this way! I can’t wait to attempt to replicate this. Keep up the great content!
Fly tying is a hobby on its own. Because of work and other things I gave up fishing and fly tying some 15 years ago. Bud this is so good and inspiring I just must pick it up again. Blessing from the Čech Republic.
GREAT LOOKING MAY FLY!!.. You make that look so easy. The way you handle your tools, you would have made a GREAT heart surgeon. Thanks for another GREAT lesson. Mike Walters Alabama U.S
No lie, I'm pretty new to tying, but your ties are what I push myself to achieve. I keep trying with all the false self confidence in the world and they look like Frankenstein's monster. Love the content and I appreciate the challenge and beautiful flies.
This is SO amazing! The realism is...UNREAL!! I wish I had the skills to be able to have the vision to create this kind of thing. You are an amazing artist!!
Your videos are what inspired me to get back into tying! After my first vice broke several years ago I stopped tying. Once I found your videos I just had to get back into it! Thank you for sharing your amazing work!
3 decades ago i was lucky enough to send some time tying and fishing with Wally Lutz. The Wally Wing was truly an innovation in the tying world for duns and spinners. Another pattern Wally invented was a double winged caddis which I helped named the "no-brainer." Is that pattern on UA-cam? If not I'll tie and post Wally's pattern. I have a few other patterns he showed me while fishing. Several are single material and extremity effective.
I never thought my fly tying hero was an Oldham lad, me from Royton,Rochdale, Portugal, now Manila, to finish my years off at 78 years fly tying.. great videos, thank you.
@@roynricksbigbandboogie4090 ahhh you have committed sacrilege!! May the great Caddisfly God smite thee for speaking of such horrors! 🤣😂🤣😂 I did that for a bit for this spinner mayfly pattern made with foam and organza but they did not last past one fish. Have you had success?
By far one of the videos that I enjoy watching the most. Thank you very much Bender, with winter just around the corner I am going to rewatch many of your vids......may even hook the vise to the table. Lol.
Thats some seriously next level fly tying. Looks absolutely astonishingly nice. Love your work. It is addictive watching fly tying, but this delicate fly is definitely next level. Without doubt one of the better videos I've seen. I dont know how long it would really last, but looks truly wicked.
Sir I am pretty new to fly tying. I got into it through Project Healing Waters. Out of all the videos on fly tying I can not stop watching. You sir are a true artist
bloody brilliant! I can not long tie flies (my hands shake to much now) This is the most wonderful job I have seen in a long time.. thank you very much.. I must go and look at your other videos..
So realistic. I will try this one . I just started tying and tried the double wing mayfly which is tied completely out of one Mallard flank, but yours looks so much more realistic that I've just got to try. Thank for the tutorial!
So, yesterday I attempted this. was a struck of beginners luck. Today I had it almost done but couldn't wip finish the head. To much material or to little of a hook. Or both. Needless to say that bug went to the garbage and another one will be the 3rd attempt in a couple of days from now. Still a little pissy about that last one. You tie hard flys my friend. Little envious. But love the challenge. Thanks for upping my skills! Cheers!
Hi, definitely too much material, as you can tie this on many hook sizes... If you start your tying thread 2-3 mm behind the hook eye you can use this mark as a finishing point before you whip finish, you'll have enough room. Proportions and getting them right come with practice and repetitive tying over time. Keep doing what you are doing and you will get there... Good luck
Thank you, if you would like to take your tying to the next level, may I suggest: www.amazon.com/Feather-Benders-Flytying-Techniques-Comprehensive-ebook/dp/B07YL83YB1/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3R2LV3IGSRZRY&keywords=barry+ord+clarke&qid=1704697807&s=books&sprefix=barry+ord+clarkre%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C147&sr=1-3#customerReviews
Happy to help! If you like this then please check out my techniques book, It's made to go with the videos! www.amazon.com./Feather-Benders-Flytying-Techniques-Comprehensive/dp/1510751505/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1UAMX0FH8QH9B&keywords=barry+ord+clarke&qid=1643013102&s=books&sprefix=barry+ord%2Cstripbooks%2C157&sr=1-2
Barry what I do when I work with that poly for that purpose is to put a drop of UV on the tip so I don't have stray fibers to deal with. It's an extra step but not having to fiddle with stray fibers while working with the other materials, Now to go tie some BWO size 24 in this style, I think the Wally wing might be the easy part! One of these days I should come to Norway to fish for a bit and maybe drink some single malt.
So pretty! I love this fly alot, although I dont know how you manage to split the wings so evenly.... true god of fly tying (I am a beginner and I'm very amused by your videos)
Many thanks Malcom! If you enjoy these may I suggest: www.amazon.com/Feather-Benders-Flytying-Techniques-Comprehensive/dp/1510751505/ref=sr_1_1?crid=W90KH5J97SRA&keywords=barry+ord+clarke&qid=1673860430&sprefix=barry+ord%2Caps%2C542&sr=8-1#customerReviews
This fly is tied in a very ingenious manner, particularly the wings and CDC. I’d hate to have it destroyed after the first 3-inch fish that goes after it…😂 Well done, Barry!
Im thinking of doing a framed set of a dozen or so unique dries, I think I'll have to add this one (or a variant)! Only problem is I don't know if i can tie it as well as you did. Very well done.
Very Cool Man! I just started fly fishing and am going to practice lots to get better. I want to tie my own Flies like this, and you really did a nice video! Nice footage, crystal clear filming, and good audio! Thank you very much for sharing!
This is a beautiful fly and I’m going to take a swing at trying to tie it. My one question is how does it hold up after a catch? It seems like a very delicate fly and I would imagine a trout would destroy it, no? My plan is to tie this and display it in my tying room if I get anywhere close to the way you tied it. Breathtaking fly, incredible tying, and thank you for posting this.
Hi Ryan, thanks. They hold up enough for a couple of fish, so I don't mind that as I tie a lot of them. Its only practice so take your time and try and find good mallard flank. Good luck!
I had absolutely no idea this was a thing people did and I have absolutely no idea why this video was recommended to me however I am amazed by this, it must take so much precision and concentration and for that I admire you
Also these are really cool and I kind of want to collect them now
I tied flies with my grandfather when I was a little boy. It was a blast when i left the army i decided to give it another go but i can't use a fly rod so i stopped. I still love watching it being done it's very soothing.
I don’t even fly fish and watched the whole thing! Amazing!
So pleased that you enjoyed it Andres.

I just purchased your new book of fly tying techniques. I cannot wait to receive it.

Thanks Ken, practice, practice and more practice... You can do it.
@@Thefeatherbender Thanks, I tied up a dozen last week.
This video has given me the itch to start tying my own flyers!! I will be viewing more of your videos!!
Good! Go for it Carlos!

Nice to hear Robbie, get that vice out again! Good luck.
Holy moly, never knew fly tying could be elevated to such an art form. Excellent work!
Thank you.
Barry's simply thw best fly tyer out there. Elegant realism. Beautiful
Wow, thanks David!
This is an art . I do not ever tie flys nor will i ever . I enjoy watching such beautiful art

Very nicely illustrated and tied. This is a nice blend of traditional and modern technique and material. Well played, Barry.
Thank you Kurz...

Oh yes, Oldham born...Thanks Al.
I think it's cheating when you tie an actual mayfly to the hook.
It is absolutely amazing how these guys on UA-cam tie
i don't tie i use super glue....
@@roynricksbigbandboogie4090 ahhh you have committed sacrilege!! May the great Caddisfly God smite thee for speaking of such horrors! 🤣😂🤣😂 I did that for a bit for this spinner mayfly pattern made with foam and organza but they did not last past one fish. Have you had success?
Use hot glue! 😁🤣
True, this should not be allowed at all!
By far one of the videos that I enjoy watching the most. Thank you very much Bender, with winter just around the corner I am going to rewatch many of your vids......may even hook the vise to the table. Lol.
Thanks Paul, good luck with that!
I have very shakey hands, and to see you make something so delicate with shakey hands is inspiring.
Thanks Dan, give it a go...
@@Thefeatherbender my favorite fishing movie is "A river runs through it". Lol
Beautiful tie! You really threw the kitchen sink at this one- Impressive! 👏
Thanks, give it a go!
That tie sure favors a steady hand. Wow! What a beautiful pattern
Thank you! 😊

Incredible fly I’ll try to tie and fish here in Patagonia. Congratulations to you and thank you to share something different. At least for me.
Gracias Rodolfo, please let me know how you get on with them.
That's pure art. Just amazing. Beautiful job!!!
Thank you Scott.
You make that look super easy, but I can see myself making a huge mess out of it lol. Great video!
Thanks Brandon, but its only practice!
Brilliant and beautifully done.
You are absolutely an artist! That's beautiful!
Thanks Harson.

Thank you.
Perfectly done, thanks for shearing!
Thanks Borislav.
Brilliant work.
Thanks Tex.
it is beautiful for sure but does it hold up? I wonder about the wings being damaged after a single fish.
Hi Camillus, thank you and I think you would be surprised how robust it actually is...
Wow a beautiful fly!!
Thank you Dana.
too beautiful for fishing..😉👍🏻Really nice work,man!
Thanks David.
The feather bender Good idea to split the feather....I’ll try,but if it fails in this part of tying 😬😩
@@davidbohac6109 Good luck!
