yarn should be wool for these, just get 100% wool yarn and you're set.

Is a used fish stalker worth $800 in 2024? Its a cool platform but I dunno

You can keep your material more floatable if you spray it with RainX and let it dry, I also use it for waterproofing Dry Flys. \

How big should the yarn indicator be to suspend a BB-sized lead shot?

Thank you for the video. For those curious about applicable yarn types, I've tested 100% acrylic yarn, it sank in my test tank within 10 minutes. Will pick up some 100% poly & also wool samples next.

thank you

I heard Rim likes to use very thin diameter fly lines when fishing this fly and all flies for that matter- something akin to today’s euro lines. Do you use a standard tapered line or are you also using a thin diameter line? I’m going to tie and try the rs2 during a pmd hatch tomorrow where the fish are extremely selective due to pressure and abundance of food. Recently these fish have been ignoring duns for the most part and are more often flashing about a foot below the surface. I’ve tried droppers on short segments of tippet such as soft hackles and nymphs both weighted and unweighted and have not yet cracked the code. Any suggestions on rigging/tactics?

Great Video. I’m gonna try it, thank you.

What is the advantage of this system vs a NZ wool and tube system?

This voice is so sexual

Much easier to use small bit of rubber tube and loop the line as in the New Zealand wool indicator technique , takes seconds , at my age times running out, all the best, David.

Have you seen the Japanese indicators they use? Search Owner Pro Markers - I like the wide type The Owner Pill Markers are very effective as well.

Will the yarn indicator continue to float with a beaded nymph or heavier wet fly?

I've used this system for years and there's nothing better and easier. Only difference with me is that I do the wraps of the rubber band over the end of my forceps and then grab the loop with the forceps and pull the rubber band over the loop.

Is the weighted nymph below or above Syl’s?

What is the cable\ line across the wateriin What is the cable/ line across the water where you are casting?

Awesome, this is the simplest mysis pattern I have seen tied . The plus side of this pattern video is I haven't seen how to fish a mysis pattern until this video, thanks.

This was awesome. Very helpful! Thank you!

I would like to have the leader straight, but this indicator is created a hinge

I love this system but I have found that moving it up & down the thicker part of the leader will cause coiling which is almost impossible to straighten, have you experienced similar issues? Also, I would add a drop of super glue on the thread wraps. This makes it bomb proof and the super glue coating is weightless when dry.

Hi, when you fish deep and you bring in the fish do you turn the indicator in the reel right? Isn't that a problem??

What material should the yarn be made of? The downside I see here is you see a 90 degree angle in the line which would be very annoying while casting or do I have a mistake thinking here? 🤔

I seem to be doing something wrong. I’m using a 1/4 inch orthodontic band, but after routing a leader loop through the band four times and attaching the indicator, it is very difficult to slide the indicator. Do you have any experience with that issue/suggestions how to correct?

Good content, thanks very match!

Good stuff, you don’t need expensive genetic capes to tie perfectly good dry flies. The Renegade, virtually unknown in England, think I’ll give it a try. Just one caveat, if you ever stick a hook in my face and call me buddy, you’ll get a slap in the mouth.

Hmm. 10 min. for an indicator?? I'll try something else and hope for the best.

Headed to Buena Vista in a few weeks, never fished there so I’m wondering where this is?

Great content manometer the vids

Nice!

What’s the best treatment/floatant for the poly yarn? Gink? Lochsa?

Nice content. Please keep it up with the "simple flies" series

I just got a 12 wt fly rod and reel, looking for the big fish in north padre, know any good spots?

I just double the leader back over the Orvis nail knot tool and wrap the rubber band around the end of the tool five or six times. I then pull the loop and band off the end of the tool and put a couple of pieces of thick yarn through the loop and tighten the loop. It can be done in about thirty seconds while standing in a stream.

Sweet. My son has braces.... I am set

Is there a certain yarn you have to use

You should do a trout smoking demonstration. You’ve got me curious on this stove top smoker.

What kind of line are you using? Full sink or intermediate?

Hello Freestone, I've looked allover to find a good strike indicator. This one looks nice to me and I will give it a try. I used Glo Bug Yarn fluo yellow instead of the poly yarn that you used. I will sent my result of the indicator. I think it will be a good one. Tight lines my friend. Greetings from the Netherlands

Teach that with wool instead of synthetic fibers to minimize micro-palstic and than that would be a great trick dude!

Does not is slide down while fishing in streams or kink leader?

Beautiful fish! And...you make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing your love for this sport.

Are you sight fishing here , ie no indicator ? Great tie and video . Thanks

What kind of fly are they eating?

Santa baby, please bring home the fish next time

Water was looking good today. Awesome tutorial. I think I may actually start tying my own flies. You make it look easy.

You make it look so easy! So happy for your fly-fishing success. Love your videos. Keep 'em coming.

The one they sent me with leak air in two days sprayed it was soapy water Found the league they patched it was right by the back plate for the Scotty mount bought a heat gun to take off the plate and the patch was the size of my thumb now I will patched it again they sent me are use product never tested it stay away from this company like I said I called them I emailAnd no answer $500 up the ass

I can’t seem to find this board in stock anywhere

One thing to note: If you notice yourself getting a lot of short strikes with this fly, don't hesitate to trim that tail a bit shorter. That's another bonus of starting long, you can always cut some off ;)
