- These SKILL BUILDER videos will help you along your Fly Tying Journey! We choose three tips per week and post them on Fridays!
In this video we show you a few ways to put a bead on a hook just to demonstrate that big sausage fingers are no excuse! We also talk about a seldom discussed topic called THREAD CONTROL, where we'll discuss how to hold your bobbin the correct way, and to make sure your fly looks exactly the same on both sides of the hook. Finally we show you how to adjust the length of a CDC collar very commonly used on Euro nymphs.

All these skill builders are just fantastic. Wish they had them back in the 1970s when I was learning to tie. Would have saved me endless hours of learning the hard way. Great stuff, as always, from Fly Fish Food.
Thank you for putting these skill builders videos out. I learned to tie flies about 50 years ago but stopped after kids came along. Now, I am back at it and these videos are a great refresher as well as for learning new techniques with all the new materials out there (not sure how we were ever able to tie with just fur, feathers & thread - LOL). I have subscribed as I don't want to miss a single heck/hint/technique you care to share!!
Love These Skill Builder Videos. Hope There are 100 😂👍
really like the angle on this series! the hand placement is crucial to learing and this shows it will.
Another great skill builder Cheech! Really enjoying these and appreciate the effort to make them, keep 'em coming buddy!
Could we get a skill building episode about tying in tailing material? Specifically keeping them on top of the hook and aligned? Love the channel, thanks for the great content!
Clay. My guy. Look out for skill builder 11!
Another great video Cheech! The only comment i'd add is, Spend a little extra money on a quality bobbin. Nothing more frustrating using a cheap bobbin with a sharp tip, fraying or down right cutting your thread. Thank you Sir! Keep them coming!
I am quite liking this series, thanks for the tips. 👍
These are great! Thank you very much. Please keep them coming.
I like the series, it's great. Brief, to-the-point, focused on fundamentals. One thing I see not covered enough when it comes to countersunk beads is how to deal with the extra space you get in the hole when you're going a bit heavy. With a lot of bead brands, even a 2.8 will give you trouble on a size 16 hook, and it's not like that's an outrageous bead/hook pairing. The bead crowds the eye of the hook, or won't be seated straight, and then when you do the body you have a lot of distance between the hook shank and the back edge of the bead, inviting you to tie an overly bulky body. I know there are lots of tricks to deal with it, and I use them, but I'd like to hear you views on the subject.
Great idea. I have opinions on this
Dig thus series. Even being a tyer for a few years, there's always a different way that may work better.
Great info . I'm always looking forward to more tips. Thanks from Calgary.
Finally, someone else puts on beads the way I do. Not sure when I figured this out, but it seems like almost since beads became a "thing". I notice that almost all tying videos start with an already beaded hook. Any method that keeps one of the 2 parts, hook point or bead, still greatly speeds up the process. On little beads I use beading tweezers to hold the bead, rather than my fingers, but the idea is the same. Keep something (the hook) steady while you slip on the bead. Thanks for this series. Lots of good stuff.
Great tips, great series. I do like Tim Flagler's method of putting a bead on a hook which I think is faster and easier, at least for me. He first grasps the hook with what he calls "plunger stye" hackle pliers or a fly display clip. He puts the bead in his palm and then using the display clip, inserts the hook point into the proper hole in the bead. This this method helps from dropping and losing the bead.
Yup. Tim is one of the best.
Thanks, Cheech, for more great tips.
Thank you Awesome video 🎣🎣🎣🙏
Great video, Creech! Keep the tips coming!
Great videos helpful and entertaining thanks
Love these skill builders however a lighter colored background would have helped. Great video and good ball busting on your compadres lol!
I use a bobbin threader. Put several beads on the threader and use the hook point to feed them onto the hook. The advantage here is you don't accidentally drop the bead nor poke your finger when feeding the bead on.
good job!
I need to buy one of those clamps. They're so expensive though. I just use a cheap plastic clip and it works but kinda sucks
Buy it right once and swear/struggle less.
Cheech, love these skill builder videos! Thanks for taking the time to put them together. Question: when you are tying, do you allow your vise to be easily rotated or is it mostly immobile? I tend to keep my vice immobile. 🤷🏻♂️🎣
This is a great topic. I like mine so it will stay where I leave it, but it will also rotate easily. If I need to adjust I can on the fly.
I did notice on your videos that your vice definitely moves more freely, that’s why I asked. I’m going to loosen mine up a bit and see how that works for me. Thanks!
What thread is that?
HEY CHEECH!!!
Man, I saw a couple of billboards today while driving through Utah and they said "Utah Wants The A's"
Have you heard anything about this???
We might host some home games while they are waiting for a stadium. We have an awesome AAA park
As always a great vid. Any chance we can get a parachute post how-to?
Skill builder 4 is your friend.
@@FlyFishFoodThanks! Not sure how I missed it!
@@joeborgione5477 no worries my man!
Very informative. Can you tell me what make and model your vise is? Thankyou. Tight lines🪰🐛🐞!!!!!
It’s a renzetti master
Thank you
So? The little hole goes on first? Even w slotted beads?
@@randyeggleston7138 yup
Great video. Can you share the link to the CDC tool you used? I am having a hard time finding it.
It’s currently sold out right now. Here’s the link. www.flyfishfood.com/products/swiss-cdc-multiclamp?variant=36927215992997¤cy=USD&srsltid=AfmBOoqdhikluYw891COxOU5baRGtLFK6HFdNW6x1gtPb4jlVybFasNyNIY&UCWxBa8MprBJr1vuv3uw8ghA&YT-APM2gMBBA8rG4_Piuj9ZTEi9oqLpfaV2kpbEXRu7nL5SsOgdEB7t5n1srlOcdOZFCBQskeShthKxZkHHOUUzC03e0sNm0yTAzAI401n2wrw2fXb93wNZjwKFk8DHBcmz85Dqa49CTnLVzkb3QH8qJpne2I9Kx8QjsTkB6wMVCF7E&nohelpkit=1
Thank you@@FlyFishFood
What dubbing spinner was used?
@@FlyFishFood
how about slotted beads...
That swiss cdc clamp isn't Necessary save the money just just slide the feather into your spilt thread Just some advice For saving money. Are you split thread for c d c collars all the time It makes your patterns super buggy.
Make a video showing how you do that quickly. For some, $50 is a bargain for a quality tool.
@FlyFishFood not knocking ur video your tips love you guys just Merely stating that tool isn't needed for advanced tyer in my opinion but again opinions are like yep you guessed it everyone has one keep up the great content !!
There is a metal chip clip at walmart for 1.49 that has been working amazing for me! Literally the same outcome and speed as shown in this video
@@Jerflyfisher show vid. I’ll bet some people will still pay $50 for smooth edges that won’t break thread. Food for thought
@@FlyFishFood I'm sure some will! I might eventually, but I'm enjoying my budget solution for now.
Love these skill builders however a lighter colored background would have helped. Great video and good ball busting on your compadres lol!
