Is it an optical illusion or do you wind your thread in the opposite direction to every other right-handed tier on youtube? I'm curious bc I tie left-handed, and I found that I have to counter-wind corded materials like yarns and tinsels because they're all manufactured with the same twist and it looks lumpy or snaggy if I tie them the standard way (Try winding large oval tinsel the wrong way on a small hook and you'll see what I mean; I suspect it may affect both hook penetration and fly durability). Also, I have to use flat thread for dubbing - which I suppose most people do nowadays anyway.

I’m left handed and I thought everyone wrapped away over the top. It drives me nuts to watch people wrapping “backwards”!

Interesting technique but I am not seeing any significant advantages to the standard way…tie in the tail, make the dubbing noodle, wrap and add a thorax, if desired to make your body! Then add hackle, one or more! Make your head, whip finnish and glue! No template, no rulers etc. To me your method is unnecessarily complicated! If I made the same fly, the standard way, it would be virtually the same! I make at least a dozen of the same pattern in a sitting, one after the other and probably just as fast! Newbies might find your method intimidating? Otherwise, nice fly! Have a good day!
@BrentJonesFlyTying4 ай бұрын
Yeah there’s not necessarily any advantage here other than to push relatively new fly tyers to do and try things they didn’t think they can do. The overall idea for this particular 6 week session was to shine a spotlight on how much dubbing to use with a focus on pre tapered dubbing and how to use split thread effectively. That’s really the only point of this particular video. I really appreciate the feedback.. thanks 😊
@mikelundrigan22854 ай бұрын
Rather than trying to position the materials between two pieces of waxed thread, hanging from a dubbing spinner, I position my material on a single strand of sticky waxed thread, lightly spin it on the thread, with the spinner attached as weight. Then I bring up the second piece of the thread up over and parallel to the dub! I place it in position on the hook and attach the thread. The weight of the spinner mostly closes the loop as normal, spin and your noodle is done! I find this much easier than trying to position materials between two pieces of a premade loop, less tricky and much faster! Nice fly!

Appreciate the feedback. This particular video is apart of a 6 week class series that was focusing on different aspects of tying and different ways to achieve things. This video happened to be week 6 of 6 where the techniques become more complex and combine techniques used throughout the first 5 weeks. But overall I don’t disagree with your premise.

This wing style is more commonly known as Wonder Wings. I like to use them for large stoneflies on hooks as large as a size 8 long dry fly hook. A Coq de Leon feather is a good choice because of the long, stiff barbules.

Francis Fly (from Francis Francis A Book on Angling, 1867) “The body is composed of copper-colored peacock's herl, ribbed distinctly with copper-red silk ; hackle, medium blue dun ; wings, two hackle-points of a grizzly blue dun cock's hackle (not a hen's), set well up. It is an excellent evening and night fly dressed on a No. 7 or 8 hook, owing to the lively and attractive play of the hackle-point wings.” Francis Francis (1822-1886). Kingsmill met an 80-year-old guide on Corrib who claimed to have fished FF.

@callumclark335811 ай бұрын
Always surprised when I see someone tying with the thread in the “opposite “ direction. It looks so awkward, but obviously, each to his own. I do wonder though, why you don’t wind the materials in the same direction? It’s inherently more secure, i.e. tightening the thread automatically tightens the material, whereas if they’re going in opposite directions, tightening the thread will, if anything, loosen the turns of material. Not life-threatening, but it does puzzle me.

PS Very nice fly. Sadly we don’t have wood ducks here, it’s a lovely feather. Is there an established way to dye mallard flank or teal a convincing shade?
@BrentJonesFlyTying11 ай бұрын
I started tying using a book that simply said wrap towards you. That was the extent of the knowledge shared. So I wrapped towards me. Turns out pretty much everyone else wrapped the opposite direction. But to answer the question about the wrapping of material I do wrap both ways but tend to stick with what’s comfortable. I don’t have really any issues with material coming out just because I almost always double the material or stem back over so that it’s locked in both ways. However if I’m wanting to tie a “wall hanger “ I will wrap the same direction or opposite of the thread to help stop the trapping of hackle. Good question. I just tie goofy footed.

I have a full Pheasant Skin + 4 different rump patches so I'll most definitely be trying this pattern out. Thanx for the pattern .Tight lines. PS. they tuck the end under the wraps at one of the end's on the card. I know it's a pain to find it.😵💫😋 I learned this on a Kelly Galloup tutorial for wetting my fingers. He learner it from a friend. In a sm. container (2") I put a round sponge in it " I cut it round then put some water in it and vwa-la .The good thing about it is there's a lock top to it and when I'm done I just put the lid on and move it to the side or discard the H2O . chow!

Because these videos are for classes I teach for beginners that can’t make the live class. I try and cover options they can choose from and show them or explain them like I would in the live class for those that can’t make the live. So I try to anticipate questions that might come up. Not all of my videos are this long just the class videos.
