Good luck with the hunting, hopefully you get to tag a deer.

Fyi the Nueces river is where Augustus Mcray and Cal stopped their herd at in lonesome dove. Just one of the rivers.

Awesome man. Looks like hes comin along great on the fly fishin. Still has some mighty big shoes of urs to fill but ill bet money ol dad will get him there lol. Hope to see this hunt of urs on vid too

Nueces River? South Texas area Corpus Christi through Uvalde ?

SWEET !

Yes, it's legal to fish there.I fish their plenty at times

Nice ty! Tight lines🪰🦟🕷️!!!!

Sweet looking fly bud. You folks have a wonderful weekend my friend. 🙏🏻

Hello again. That’s a nice looking streamer and great way to remember some of the birds you’ve raised. Tying on a tail for a streamer like that is a bit different and I’m curious how it will swim and swing underwater. Cool fly. Oh, some of the feathers look a lot like the ring neck pheasant too.

Thank you for showing the feather prep. Most tying videos don’t. Great job.

NICE JOB..

Grat video, way yo ho with the home grown hackle!!!! God bless and thanks again!!

Muy bueno 👨🏼‍🦲👍🏼

Man!, I can just imagine this streamer darting across a nice river. 👨🏼‍🦲 🎣

I love it! I’ve been saving chicken pelts as I need them. But, you will have enough pelt feathers to leave to the next generation or two. Having your own feathers and animal pelts is the ultimate fly tyers dream. If you’re making flys to fish with, there is no better choice. The fancy feathers and pelts from commercial sources is nice for making presentation flies or show flys for instagram or other show off sights. Being practical is what tying is all about if you are fishing with them. Beside, fly tying is expensive and any thing you can do to have lots of materials with out breaking the bank. Between roadkill, hunting, and raising my own sources makes fly tying more fun.

I like it, but I'm not a fan of the tail. I feel like if you don't set the tail perfect or it gets messed up, it will swim weird. If your happy with it what I say really doesn't matter hahaha

There is a way to glue your wing parts to each other, namely the shoulder and eyes, to make it easier to keep the feathers from moving and twisting.

Looks good! How do you preserve skins?

why do people gatekeep fishing spots? like its not that serious, its just like some weird ego trip. If I stumble across a good spot im telling every one i know who likes to fish. Why wouldnt i want people to go out and have fun? its just corny idk, maybe im wrong but its just so nerdy to me

I hate hot spotters..Good way to wipe off the protective slim on the fish with your stupid gloves

I'm mclovin it..

Going to tie some bluegill flys this offseason..

My has he grown! He is becoming a true fly fisherman!

Great video great memories !

I remember taking my kids fishing for sunfish and bass with spinning gear and years later a fly rod. Fun for them and lots of scrambling around for me! We once had a photo of my son with a nice rainbow trout in the local paper. They’re good days to have my friend and good days to savor. 🕊️

So great to fish with your son. Hoping to do same with my grandson soon. First time in Breckenridge Park was during Hemisfair, 1968. We stopped by in 1977, or there about, for nostalgia when my sister graduated from AF basic training.

👍

Very nice. You have a wonderful day today my friend. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great video

Thank you for the information

This would probably work great for Spanish Mackerel or Bluefish in the surf, under a bubble float.

This is probably the best example of tying this fly I've seen. Turning the fly on its side for the post work is brilliant. I just tied my first Parachute Adams using your technique and it was so much easier than I thought it was going to be. Excellent video.

You shared beautiful sauces. Inspiring for lovers and beginners. Thank you.

Quick and well explained. Thank you my friend happy fishing!

Could this be tied without the bead head and still be as functional as with? U did say it would be good for trout also, correct?

squirrel strip hair side up or down? if i want to have the fly high in water columan i put rabbit/squirrel facing down (tarpon looking up) and opposite in lower water columan like you have. your thoughts? thank you enjoy your channel and great deal! all the best

Excellent fly tie!

Thanks for the video. I try to use all my scraps & pieces too. I don't like when others in my fly fishing organization toss so much string & materials away.

This would make a great cinder fly pattern for striped bass on a stronger hook. Nice pattern

I have used rabbit strips for years making larger bass flys. If made to big, they can become to heavy to cast. And you always have to carefully allow the rabbit hyde to dry properly before storing in your fly tackle box. A wet strip can cause hooks to rust!

Ingenious! Making some today. Thanks for idea.

Chum salmon would love this fly

Nice fly pattern Shawn 👍

great video but I have to ask you how the marabou keeps it's shape in the water ? when I use marabou for a fly, when it gets wet it just clumps together and makes it a thin streamer.

Anyway, please keep making these quality videos. Aa subscriber to your channel is really appreciate your work. Tight lines!

No sense in lettin something like that to go to waste when u can very well use em
