You are incredibly talented and will continue to progress over time. Good to see the younger generation dabble in the art. New materials, fresh ideas, and techniques is what keeps this art-form alive. Love the video, and love the fact you listed the supplies on this page, instead of in the video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Jake. After tying flies for almost 10 years now, I find it very enjoyable to share the things that I have learned with others and help them develop their skills.
Nice tie, David. I’m going to tie a few for a trip to the Amazon for Peacock bass. Have you ever considered adding some bucktail at the back of the shank before you add the tubing?
Great pattern , wish you cut the music and did it slower explaining how you tied the fibers and dubbing as in tied it 50-50 or 70-30 on top and bottom . I do love that song but im a streamer junkie and like slower step by step instructions as i take tying streamers very passionately . Love your channel and i need Much Much More lol . Tight lines Brother .
Generally, whenever Im making big streamers, I try to stick with a 70-30 ratio for the back of the bug and either a 50-50 or a 60-40 ratio for the belly. My belly fibers are always cut shorter than the back, I think by about an inch or two. Keeping these ratios makes for a really good looking tapper to the fly.
Bertrand Tharreau The long fiber brush that I used in the video has a Congo hair core and a DNA frosty fish fiber wing with some starburst dub added for flash. I've used big fly fiber on other brushes, but it's easier and cheaper for me to use the fish fiber for the brushes. Just be aware, since the fish fiber has a slight texture to it, the fibers like to stick together when trying to lay them onto the brush. I'll make a video at some point in the future on how I make those brushes
Especially like the way you use the body tubing to produce a very hollow body. VERY NICE TIE !
