Pulls the shuck over the body and cuts to length, my mind blown! All this time I just been eye balling it. It’s amazing how much I learn from watching your videos, I can’t wait for rest of series
Thanks Kelly. I started doing my caddis this way after your 1st video.....much better.
thanks for all the great info on the pattern. I've been tying and fishing this for years, but I really like the tying flow you have on tying this. I'll be making some changes to mine. Cheers
The best tip and pointer this guy has ever given us he hasn't ever mentioned and yet it shows up in every video he's ever done. Know what it is?
Well cmon don’t leave us hangin lol..
@@NickAndCaroline You'll figure it out :)
I've got two guesses:
1) The way he holds his scissors while tying (sign of an old school tyer)
2. Cheater glasses around his neck
@@phoult37 Guess again, Pat! Hah. This is kind of fun.
@@saxon6749 It's slightly amusing, yes, but your answer is most likely some obvious thing that people already do, so they don't register it as a "tip and pointer."
Long time favorite of mine!🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Multiple sizes and colors just kill it
thanks for the dubbing (in the air) trick - FINALLY - I'm having dubbing success. Great tip!
Great as always 😀 Can I mention that here in Norway we are holding the world championship in talking as much as possible in the shortest possible time? You are hereby registered😆
Thanks Kelly. I'm slappin' my forehead with the heel of my hand. All these years I've been doin' it the hard way.
Always a good fly , I like to tie it also with the Z-Lon or Antron underwing. Seams to help float it a little better when your using floatant .
Best caddis version to date. I like to use them for panfish
The x-caddis is definitely one of my confidence flies. I've also been using bleached hair, I find it so much easier to see on the water.
Really nice fly and video, works great here in Sweden. Would also be nice if you could do a video of Galloup's Ultra Caddis :)
great instruction ! I like the idea of the underwing. What is the difference between the X caddis hair and the Comparadun Hair ?
Great fly. What’s a safe way to bleach deer hair? I have a ton of hair so hate to buy more.
Is a down eye basically a light jig Hook? Most of the time I find that the fish I catch are hooked in the top of the mouth.
You brought up a good point about seeing the fly…would you consider using a white or cream synthetic for the wing? Would make it more visible in rough water where I’m at.
You could for sure. I would still run the deer hair wing just to be closer to the true color of a caddis, and then tie a little piece of whatever synthetic you like for vis over the top (kind of a hot spot). That will make it so you can see it better, but keep the true color and profile the same.
Any chance you could tie Sobotas swimmin jimmy?
Am I missing something? How is this different than the elk hair Caddis video from a year or so ago? Longer shuck? Just wondering.
Dan
I don’t believe we did a elk hair caddis last year, but the x caddis differs from it because it doesn’t have a hackled body and also has the additional shuck.
Is there a version in black? What color for shuck and body?
You can tie them it whatever color you want. For the Black X Caddis I would do a dark brown Shuck
Why do you not have Bombers in your fly box
I really struggle with my hair spinning around my hook when I go to whip finish. I do the two wraps, pull extremely tight, and everything looks good. But then when I whip... the entire bundle of hair spins.
T O guessing you are losing tension moving forward. After you do the two tight wraps try doing two more right thru the head. Should not do much to the shape of the head and should secure your head down to the body. Are you working on a bare hook or is there dubbing under the wing?. KG
When will stock be available on the small hair stacker?
We literally just got them in mail. They should be back up by the end of the day today.
That hook has to be a 10.
I've tried and tried, but I can't get to the end of one of these videos. Four an a half minutes to get a hook in the vice...
No worries man. Thanks for trying
@@TheSlideinn Haha, I appreciate your good humour. I'm feeling guilty now. Not wishing to be a troll, your content is great, but maybe if you move things along a bit faster you'll get the less patient of us on board!
It seems that no matter how tight I pull, my deer hair will end up spinning around the hook. What am I doing wrong?
Make sure the hook is dubbed at the tie in point of the wing to give it something to grab on to. It's sure to spin on a bare hook. Once the wing has been attached with perpendicular wraps, run the thread through different sections the flared head 2 to 3 times before tying off.
Tyson
Make sure your thread is very secure before you set your wing, if you dub a thin body to set on you will still need to make sure it is really tight and hitched off so there is nothing lose under the wing. Also make sure your pinch the hair really tight between your finger and thumb and don't release the thread tension until you have several turns to the eye. KG
@@TheSlideinn thank you so much!
A #14 isn't really easier to see than an 16 or 18.....in the video...
You should make clear that the stacker that you promote in every show is owned by you and that you benefit financially from its sale. Your promotion of a tool available to all turns into a sales pitch. That'd not ethical. I did not know that you had a propriety interest in the Swinger Stacker until you casually mentioned that you owned the company at the end of one video. You state that "This is the best stacker there is," but gives no mention that you benefit from the sale. A simple statement when you decide to promote the stacker would clear up an ethical omission. I assume that you do not have a propriety interest in the hooks. thread, other tools, the hair from Natures's Spirit, or you would say so.. Your show is most helpful to an old time tyer, like me, but the promotion of a product that you own hurt's your persona who comes across as an decent, genial expert who willingly shares his knowledge. I think of Bob Quigley, who generous taught me. in the early 1970's.
Hmmm, Well Robert I believe I have mentioned that about a half dozen times? Including how I bought it from my good friend John Nicosia, because he was selling it, and I had been using and promoting it for ten years before he sold it to me and i was saying the same thing then as now. Sorry if you feel i have sold my ethical sole by not doing a legal omission before showing the product. Frankly I feel your suggestion of me being in some way disingenuous to my viewers to make money on it is a crook, but thanks for watching anyway. Kelly
Thanks for the prompt clarification. I have been watching your videos for only two months so I missed the back story of your buying the stacker from your friend and that you had been praising the tool for ten years previously to that. I had no way of knowing that. And my comments only pointed to what I perceived as an omission, never to your ethical soul which is none of my business. I now plan to buy my own Swinger Stackers. And I like your willingness to wonder off in your digressions. They are as good as the actual directions. I'll keep watching.
I'm blown away by this comment. Dude puts up thousands of hours of mostly (maybe entirely) "commercial free" content...to help us out. Who cares if he promotes items in his shop, whether he owns them or not. This is a platform for TheSlideinn to direct viewers to buy stuff from the shop. That's a given. It's the way it works. We get access to a legendary fly tyer and almost endless free content. Hopefully, the Legend makes a few bucks and keeps cranking out bad-ass, "free" content. Welcome to 2020.
@@robertolmstead8193 Perhaps if you're going to go to all the trouble to slander someone's reputation, who you admittedly don't know anything about, perhaps, just perhaps, you could put forth a small amount of effort to see if you know what you're talking about first. Thanks Kelly, from the rest of us who appreciate all that you do.
