Lindsay - great video. Interested in the thread spool holder carousel in the video. Purchased or DIY?

Yes, as with many commenters, the preparation camera is of huge benefit to novices.

I enjoy fishing spiders. Great description of the effective employment of the fly!

What hook did you use for this pattern?

What’s the thorax material Lindsay ? 👍

Had a lot of success this year with this fly for both Trout and Grayling

Great video, even after tying for years its a very informative watch, thank you.

Holy smokes i love ur accent my man. May i ask Where are u from? And super good lookin fly i like the hackle for the legs rather than the silly legs.

Have to add that in grey this is my top favorite fly.

Here in utah on the Provo, the wildlife management nerds are practically begging people to keep fish under the 16-inch length. Everyone plays the catch and release game, and the bio availability is off balance enough that Every fall hundreds of browns starve to death. There are parts of the river where one can not see the river bottom through all of the dead. Quite sad. It's been this way for them past 3 years.

This is perfect i have literally started fly tying today and i needed a more recent and british (i can mostly find people talking about this subject in America) explanation to threads. Thanks.

Rarely if ever that I use a whip finish tool I only bought one when I used to teach fly dressing and people would ask how to use it so I had to get one to show them,I prefer to do it by hand always have always will.👍

Nothing more frustrating than getting to the head of a perfectly acceptable fly , you're just about to whip finish and snap!!! Very useful video, thanks. Tight lines 🎣

Thanks. I'm really glad you presented this video. I've been tying a while, and I still get confused!!!

Great video Lindsay for threads for beginners choosing the right threads needed you notice on fly tying groups that they need thread that will be more suited to the flies they are tying 🐟🎣

Loved that Lindsay, good to see you prepping your materials as it gives newbies like myself a better idea of how much we actually need rather than putting on too much usually lol

Excellent and informative, useful for everyone :) Thanks Lindsay for sharing your experience :)

very informative video Lindsay thanks

Great to hear a 'how to fish it' alongside the quick tie example. We could learn to tie a million different flies, but it's no use if we're just chucking them at the water willy-nilly.

Im still waiting on the damn rain.its killing me. We are getting SOME, just not enough to really reach an area thats not shoulder to shoulder. If you ever come back to the states and the conditions are right, youll have to let me show ya. The best part? Its not in Michigan.

So very helpful

Thanks!

I know we aught to know better. Lol. Oh don’t we wish nano silks and other modern threads were available soo much earlier. Just as with many other items and materials such as hi density foam, uv resin have made our hobby so much easier.

Thanks Lindsay, good video. Especially liked the tip on using white thread and then colouring the head to suit. Cheers

Brilliant - will save this for future reference

Such an interesting watch I’ve only been tying 20years and still learning, and you taught me a trick or two there , fantastic, Explaining hooks and gapes may be a good one to explain too

Shared with my local clubs what's app. As this is the best video I have seen explaining thread . Well done

where can I get that thread holder, it's awesome

Hello Lindsay! You know what first drew me to watch the first video of yours. It was because my last name is the same as your first name even the spelling is the same lol. Who knew that I'd really love your videos and learn so much about fly tying from simply watching your videos for the last year lol. I especially like this video because I agree with you 200% about "using what you've got" to tie flies. Im disabled and on a fixed income so often I have to do exactly that. It took .e several months to save up enough to buy my first vice. I wanted a Renzetti Saltwater vice because I wanted a vice that could tie on small hooks for fresh water patterns and tie on really big hooks for tying really big salt water patterns. Thanks Lindsay!

I suck at both, so yes they are the same for me

Hi Lindsay. I have fished this beat and this film and others that you have made here have helped me to get to know it. Trying to fish and make a film at the same time is asking a lot of yourself. I have come to the conclusion that you really need to concentrate when you are euro nymphing and any distraction, like filming , will impair your performance. I'm sure you will return to form soon.

Blue is a great color on any fly for trout in my opinion, thanks!!

Nice pattern thanks for sharing. What is the biggest streamer that you ty sir?

Nice fly Lindsay, early or late season I’ll reckon this will work on a fast sink line. As far as back drifting goes I personally would rather not, but as you say if you’re getting old and can’t be stripping blobs back all day then good luck to you, it’s better than not fishing at all. Cheers

nice looking boobie Lindsay

Nice booby Lindsay I swear on using blue uv tinsel on a black cruncher it works deadly when trout are up feeding on the surface 🐟🎣
