once again Charlie makes something that can be occasionally challenging into something that looks and ties beautifully. Thanks Charlie Charlie for all your'e fabulous videos.
Your three tips are totally new to me and I have been tying this pattern for 30 years. The hackle tie in technique alone is “ worth the price of admission” ! Thanks, Charlie.
Sylvester Nemes forever.... Thanks CC!
So glad your sense of humor is perfectly intact even at 615 am! Love all the videos, Charlie. Thanks for sharing.
A classic north spider well tied! Great video.
I want to say thank you for sharing your talent with everyone. Your communication skills, voice, and your presentation is off the chart
I just wished I live in your home town so I could attend your classes
Great tips on the floss and hackle. Especially the floss tip, really appreciate this!
Great pattern, Charlie. Having read a couple of Nemes' books. Several years ago, I fished an entire season with these soft hackles/spiders. One of the most productive and enjoyable seasons ever!
I love that idea of sweeping that hackle tip back underneath. Great fly that catches fish.
"hit like and subscribe and get a tattoo" -Charlie Craven 2022. lol Poetry in words and tying!!
🤗The early bird tying a favourite of mine...👏👏👏
Nice job Charlie and thanks for those simple but great little tips on the floss and hackle tip.
Another thing that's fun is to mess up a stacked/spun deer hair project. It can be quite impressive! 🙂
Warren Duncan technique with the floss...salmon fly tyer from New Brunswick
Expert Tying and a sense of humor. I love it!!
Beautiful soft hackle.....you are an amazing instructor. Sylvester Nemes , the guru of soft hackles, would be pleased.
Beautifully done.
Nice one Charlie! Been fishing these for decades!
Nice! Tying these is like making homemade wine from Muscat Canelli; if you get it just right it's beautiful but if you mess up there's nothing to hide behind & the whole world will know. Nice tip about leaving the tip in, I'll use it for sure! 👍
Now I know how too tie soft Hackles properly.
Mega Thx Charlie ! As a new tier, I’m amazed how easy you make tying these flies look.
I really love your videos and I'm learning alot on fly tying. Keep up the great work
Good video. My favorite type of fly.
Great tutorial. I'm going to add some of these and some color variations to my box. Thank you.
Thanks for the 🎉 Coffee ☕️ Call 🎉 Pattern Charlie !!!! One of the flies our local shop teaches at their intro tying classes. Can be a challenge when one is just starting out on a vise ! Thanks for the Insights and Be Well !!!
✨ 🎣 💫
Nice tie Charlie… my all time favorite trout fly … and hooked a few steelhead with it too… will try the doubling back with the floss… nice touch!
Love it
Nice !! Thanks bunches
nice n simple, im gunna get a charlie craven tattoo!
Nice tie. I like the tag hack. I do something similar but I use peacock hurl for the thorax ball. I’ll try the hares mask. Thank you.
Sounds like Charlie still on his first cup of coffee ☕️🥱
I watched this 6 months ago...and have no memory of it hah. I even added it to a play list called "fly tying" and still forgot I watched . Going to tie a bunch of these, perhaps 6 months ago I didnt have the skill to tie them. =)
🤙🏼 Ever hear of a translucent caddis? It would be a good one to do……love the vids, keep em comin!
Heading over to the tattoo parlor right now!
For what?? Did i miss something?😅
👍🏻👍🏻
In a future video maybe show how you evaluate different feathers from the cape?
Hard to beat a Partridge and Orange. What fish doesn’t like orange? I like to fish a Guides Choice SH, Pheasant Tail SH along with either a Stewart’s or Davy’s Spider as one of my “go to” rigs. I might also change out the Guides Choice for a thin mint bugger. Pack along a PMD softie and a Graphic Caddis with RSII in chocolate and you can damn near fish the entire season.
Never understood the black thread being used on patterns like traditional spiders.
I’ve recently gotten into soft hackles and am enjoying fishing the quotes a bit.
Question (to learn, not being critical), why use the orange floss rather that orange thread? I’m just beginning to tie and really don’t know the benefit.
Well I’m not sure what you have achieved by doing this…it’s a bit more complicated than needed?
Which part are you talking about?
The body really, it’s just you split the floss but go twice, is it not the same as once with standard width? I do like the dubbing, I’ve always thought in the faster water they represent a nymph as the hackles flow back over the body…37% better 😀😀😀
No, the whole strand of floss won’t lie as flat as a split strand…more roped, especially on smaller sizes. The hackle is soft, and without the dubbing lies down pretty flat. Propping it up lets the fibers dance a bit more even under flow.
You should be using gloves when handling that floss so you don't get grease all over it!!! (That's what the Atlantic salmon fly tiers do.) ☺ Check out Jonas Andersson on UA-cam.
That’s necessary for competition or display salmon patterns, not here though. I took a class with Ron Alcott once upon a time and yes, he had white gloves for handling floss and other delicate materials.
Morseo tyers used gloves to prevent their rough hands/skin from grabbing the floss and therefore ruining it
@@lennavitsky4054 Exactly. I tie trad salmon flies to recipe for fishing with and I’m not using gloves for silks as my hands aren’t too rough or dry and I would never consider using them for expensive feathers just because they’re expensive feathers. To me, going about it like ooooh this feather is rare and costs so much so I’m like gonna bow to it and use white silk gloves to handle it but only after I spent at least two hours deciding what I should tie with it sounds stuffy af up your own backside kinda carry on.
I was have a big time drinking Jamieson and eating some KFC when I got the urge to twist up some soft hackles. Damn things were ugly as hell and mottled from the chicken grease but really caught fish!
