[@markgoodman218]

Hey Barry, That is a very nice fly. I had bought a couple that looked close to them and they worked great. Do you think you will do a vid on the Clarke's Caddisfly featured in Fly Tyer Magazine?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Mark, yeah I can do that.

[@user-sr8gh1me8x]

Великолепно 🤝👍

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you!

[@FlyTyer1948]

There is something very satisfying & magical about watching & tying a basic, buggy looking fly. Thank you.
Is there a particular reason why you used the split-thread method of preparing the dubbing rather than making a dubbing loop, or using wax & touch-dubbing the thread?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks fly tyer, I use the split thread technique only for fine and light materials, because its quicker than making a loop and using a dubbing spinner. It also not only holds the material better than just using a wax-touch-dubbing technique but it makes for a buggier dubbing result when spun.

[@FlyTyer1948]

@@Thefeatherbender Got it. Thanks.

[@tinkmarshino]

Barry! How is life treating you my friend.. summer is over here and the rains have started.. I only got out to fly fish about 4 times this year between the remodel and the fires and this covid thing it has made it a busy year.. My fingers were not quiet ready for fly tying this summer so I have been doing some model building to loosen them up.. (That was a funny experience I used to be good at it) But I think this winter I will be up and ready to tie again.. I have loaned out your book to a couple of friends.. they are smitten.. Great book... People think I am really hip to fly tying now.. ;-) Well this was a great little fly and I look forward to having more time to watch your videos and learn some more good tips.. It is good to see you again my friend! carry on!

[@Thefeatherbender]

All good thanks Tink, I'm the same only a hand full of fishing trips this year, but I hope to make up for it... Stay safe.

[@tinkmarshino]

@@Thefeatherbender you take care too my brother.. here's to more fishing next year!
