Ah well, I’m not upset about the vise. It’s just stuff and stuff doesn’t make us happy. It’s more fun to want than have typically. It’s no fun to need but we neeeeed you to be happy and healthy. 😊

I’ll give ya 2 sticks of bubble gum, half a pack of marlb reds, and a used condom for that renzetti

I sincerely hope you feel healthy soon and are freed from the basement isolation 😊

I didnt notice the bobbin holder till I was into the video, i do move it

My hmh trv costs a couple hundred dollars less and doesn’t have a single piece of plastic on it.. Best way to describe renzetti vices, “all frosting without the cake” You don’t know anything yet because you’re just starting but soon enough you will understand.

You’ve got to keep that vise for yourself Mike, YOU HAVE TO. It’s a once in a lifetime find. 😢

Imagine buy a bmw and telling everyone what the msrp is..

Years ago I had a traveler. Nothing fancy. The jaws sheared overnight while I was tying a fly and they never warranted them. They said it was my fault because I left a hook in it overnight. Vise was great for a few years.. now it lives in the corner of a closet..

Thanks for the Video. I have this tool but never had the instructions so I havent really used it. I get the gist of what you are doing , but the camera angle is hard as your hands are in the way lol. But It has given me an idea of how to go about it. If your camera was top down it would be clearer. I really like your manner and your love for all things fishing!

I love it looks very cool 🫶🏻🥰✌🏻😍👌👋🏻🤗👍🏻

You’re doing great Mike. I am curing a buck tail to use for flies from the six point I’d gotten last Monday.

Axe the background music.

I ordered a rod the last week of July it is was supposed to be 3-5 weeks also. It is now the middle of October with no updates I reached out to them via email and they said they are just starting beginning of July rods and mine was the end of July so it’ll be considered an August build which in their words is weeks away. I’ll be surprised if I get it before the end of the year. Be prepared to wait 3-6 months. Completely ridiculous.

🌟 👍

Are you happy with the results?

Michael is there any types of fur or feathers that are hard to come by?

Hey Mike

You’re gaining subs! You’ve earned it. Thanks for your hard work and great tips!!! ❤

U can use gas motors on dog

Darn it! I missed it.

Just bought a foldcat. I’m a fat guy. 260 lbs. I have to enter the foldcat from the water because we don’t have docks in the lakes here. Went to launch it. Put my foot on the pontoon with my other foot on in the water. The whole thing tilted sideways. I was prepared for that so I didn’t fall in or lose anything. I never ended up getting in it because then I realized the Newport trolling motor won’t secure to the sea eagle transom. Today I’m going to try getting in by putting my foot in the center of the aluminum plank and one hand on the seat. I’ll also fix the transom issue with wood. Any suggestions with the boarding issue. Thank you. I very much appreciated your video. It was the most useful fold cat video out there for me. Thanks again.

My 50lb line just broke tonight, my favourite lure Is long gone. This is the 2nd time it broke off with a popper. And it's very frustrating.

try rocky point

Fingers crossed for you Michael. Hope you keep it if you win the auction

They have a new agreement. Pacific Corps has given control of the lake bed property's back to the Tribes. Your comment about the Tribes "changed their minds" is a problematic. A hundred years ago the Tribes had no voice. If they did. The dams never would have been built. Which Tribal members were part of the agreement? It is a long river. Separate tribes as I know them. Yurok, Karuk, Modoc, Hoopa, Shasta, Paitute.

Great to see more people tying flys ,when i started over fourty years ago used to just use fingers and half hitch ,took me a while to get used to whip finisher ,now wouldn't be without .tight line's form the uk 🙏👍🏻

Hate that blasted whip finisher. My Issue was always being left handed. Watching a right under person do it didn’t seem to help.. I have figured it out tho. I’m also a huge fan of just a few simple half hitches

I just LOVE peacock herl! I use it in ALL KINDS of flies!

Matukas are an awesome oldschool pattern

Useless video. Can’t see a danm thing. Looks like there is a big bead in front of the clevis which is useless.

When I started out it was old school. There was no videos. Just printed instruction. Eric Leister put out the fly tying kits that I used. Patterns were the Adams, White Cahill, and Hendricksons. Hooks were all Mustads. Materials were all natural. Yeah, starting out with dry flies isn't the easiest way. But I was young and had eyes of steel. Been a pursuit that I have kept up to this day. :) Neil 🎣

Are those flows enough for Salmon?

I like tieing flys

Oh my word! You did get a lot of projects for yourself.

Hi

Bummer I cannot hear you very well, it sounds like a water feature overpowering the audio.

Fiddly bits. I tied my first egg with fly foam the other night. It’s not what I wanted it to turn out like but we are learning patience with this new hobby. At least we have many references at our disposal.

I’ll be ordering two to gift too 😊

I emailed yah I will get 4 of them if I can

Dams are gone now remove the Nets permanently.

I would want a key chain!

Thanks for the advice. Going to do that with my Lure 11.5

That’s pretty cool

Perfect fly tying station, looks great. I hope your knee heals quickly, no fun with staircases

Do you sell your lures at the resort? That came out gorgeous!

Very nice!

Oh that’s funny!

Love your video! When did they go to the 4 air chamber design? I am looking at a white one that looks to be in great shape for $375? Are you able to replace a pontoon if you need to or do you need to throw the boat away if you get a puncture that is not repariable?

Today was perch day!

It was nice meeting you this morning, thank you for the spoon lure! I will try it next time I go fishing!
