This takes fly tying to a whole new level. I've done this a hundred times salvaging . But watching you do it on camera and commenting is like one of those forensic programs. Fly tying forensics .An eye opener.
Thank you for sharing this video, Ryan! As for me, so good practice for understanding method of tying such flies by the video. Good duble hook with spear point. Thank you again!
This was very interesting, especially the part with the wing. The vintage fly I shared a few weeks ago that we all had a go at(the one with the red toucan as a tail) also had its wings tied in like that. I thought it was a mistake but this fly shows it to be correct.
Interesting bit of fly archaeology again. Interesting that claret thread was used to tie the gut eye on. This is the same colour that used to be used to whip the eyes on floats, and whip the trebles on snap tackles for pike. The vanish was probably shellac
Thát I have not seen before, and I think that I have seen all the fly-tying videos here on UA-cam, hmmm, and it will sure take some effort to put it together again....;- )
Good idea! I appreciate learning about the old ways. As you alluded to in another reply, if you’re going to take it apart anyway, why not take the opportunity to learn from it? Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
Fascinating to watch and learn. I also love these videos Ryan. Thanks for sharing again.

An afterthought- just imagine somebody a hundred, or so, years from now finding one of our flies, dissecting it and critiquing our tying style. :)
And further more if you do carbon 14 testing to the inner wraps I think you'll find it was tied in 1977. In the fall. After the rains.
i was born in 1977 think this one predates me by a good bit
I love these videos and it's amazing to see the insides of these flies but do you not find it a little morally... questionable?
No not at all most guys i know buy old flies to salvage hooks and materials out of them so why not learn what we can from them while we are at it
@@RyanHoustonflytying that makes perfect sense
