One good effect of the pandemic - the pace of life has slowed down so much I can now enjoy watching the whole of one of Mr Galloup’s videos ( may I call you Kelly? ), and I never feel like I wish he’d just get on with it!! I mean this sincerely, not just trying to be clever, really getting to like some of this stuff. Ordered some of that fibre, gonna make some. 👍
I tried this as my first fly. Everything went great and looked fantastic until trying to secure the monofilament loop of hackle and then the thread broke. I tried again and the thread broke doing the same part. I figured that was a good time to clean up and step away. :) It did look cool before it turned to crap. I think I’ll try again with Semper Fly 6/0 that I have on hand. I was using Danville 6/0 (which was not what was recommended). As much as I’d like to blame the Renzetti bobbin or the thread, I have noone but myself to blame. I did learn a bunch about material and it’s behavior despite the failure. The rage passed quickly. LOL.
Mono is pretty horrible to use and in will slip if it has half a mind to. A tiny dab of Super Glue stops the slipping absolutely. Strong tying thread (140) or a few strands of Polywing/EP are much better. In fact, dark Polywing gives the humpy dark thorax Kelly was admiring from the peacock herl. As an alternative to the fiddly deer hair, a dubbed and spun kapok body is much easier, and it floats like Noah's Ark in a biblical torrent. For those with finger gymnastics problems, a gallows tool makes the whole process a breeze.
Love the whole video series. Just have to say that fish may see the tops of your fly in certain refractive instances. Ozzie's Underwater World of Trout illustrates this. ua-cam.com/video/c-csJ_k6xaU/v-deo.html
Great little fly . Cree does look really good laying on the bench and Charlie is from another planet. Thanks for sharing.

spectacular -great videos & great fly
Thanks Kelly, another new technique to put in my quiver. Keep the good stuff coming.
Just fished this tonight, I really liked it’s floatability and it looks awesome. The fish were hammering it. Caught 5 brown trout in an hour. Thanks!
Very cool fly, great technique, clean, thanks Kelly.
Thank you.
That's a sexy bug. Thanks for another great one Kelly.
What a great looking fly. I’ll give it a try myself. Thanks
Great video as always.
So cool technique! Thank you!
Thank you Kelly. Very informative.
Very nice and informative sir! Thanks for sharing!
KG, you killed it with this one.
Is hackle size the same as hook size in this fly?
I’m gonna give that a try this spring.
I very much like that You doesn’t have any Music to destroy the experience during Your tyings.
Awesome thanks man

Thanks Kelly....
What pound test/diameter is the mono?
Mark, 4x or 5x. 5x on 16 and smaller, 4X on anything bigger. Thanks, Kelly
@@TheSlideinn Thanx.
Paraloop 🤷♀
