    Love these skill builder videos. Your explanations are spot on, easy to follow, and so informative. So much easier to learn with a video demo rather than reading about each technique. Thank you for doing this for the fly tying community.

    These skill builders are definitely a big help for those of us inundated with trying to absorb the many techniques used for tying the same pattern when we watch multiple videos for the same pattern. The best thing I appreciate is your explanations which helps me understand each technique quickly so that I can effectively try all of them instead of trying to figure out how each video ties theirs. Keep ’em coming so I can keep coming back for more.

    Ther is a other method explained by Davy wotton, ty the hakle in straigth 90°degrees from the shank. wrap the longfeather but first create a little dubbingball then wrap the hackle. Dubbingbal has a view advantages creates bulk in the fly witch shortens the fiber and gives the hackle more movement. Great video's, it will help a lot of people.

    Good stuff. English or Grey partridge are not easy to get here in the UK now but they make some fantastic flies. Lots of old spider or soft hackle patterns from one skin. These techniques mean you can still tie small flies with bigger than usual feathers and get great results. Keep up the good work boss

      @@exilbayer6377 In the UK most shoots in the season voluntarily do not shoot grey partridge so the dealers dont have the birds to be able to supply full skins. French partridge no problem. But the Grey partridge is soft hackle heaven. Five years waiting is a very patient man indeed.

    I'd like to learn and/or know what to do with, what I see, as "waste" or leftovers - tie a pattern and then have some of the bits and pieces left over (chenille, feathers, etc...)
    I've tried making smaller versions or "Franken-flies" haha but I'm asking myself "now, what do I do with all this stuff?!"

    Just got into tying last year and have watched a number of channels. This particular series is fantastic. Its nice to see one technique or step rather than an complete piece being done. Explanations are thorough and demonstrated well. I'd like to suggest when possible to get closer or somehow get a larger image of the work/technique being done. I understand getting into the macro range severely limits the depth of focus as well as gets in the way of the process. Just a thought and keep 'em coming.

Will enhance visual of feathers. Thanks Your explanations and teaching is great.
