It looks so easy when done by professionals. Then the fun and games start when I'm in my man cave screaming because I cannot get the dubbing to stay on the thread, or the hackle breaks and the hook sticks into my thumb trying to hold the fibers back then the tread snaps, the whole thing when finished looks like a mangled spider. Then I pack it all up and decide I will just buy some flies online.
Lovely tying I tie a version liike this. but without the front hackle. I will try that though. Its a very effective fly here-in Australia :-) I tie a sort of nymph version as well. Also effective.
I tied it and its amazing,thanks
Fantastic job! I’ll have a few of those in my fly box! Cheers 🍻 from across the pond!
Nice work. I tie small ones with and without hackle and they work really well here on small streams. Best wishes from Australia. :-0

When "offer that up" is your most hated phrase, this is a hard video to watch.
Don't watch it then
@@minimal_enthusiasm5971 Too late! There was no warning over irritating phrases at the beginning of the video. Not to worry. I'll get over it.
