@@mattsflytying2816 no problem it’s my pleasure. I’m actually curious if you’ve been having any urges to talk about some tips and what not. You seem really knowledgeable and it’s hard to talk to people who are already KZbin famous. I’ve been doing trees for the past 6 years and I’m learning how to climb and what not and sometimes I have questions and don’t know who to ask. I can always look up a video I guess but I learn better if I’m talking to someone about it. Anyways I appreciate your time and your skill!

Great tie! I love that it's a reasonably quick pattern that's quite realistic. I love ants. I think a big winged ant is a superb year-round attractor, and something most people overlook. They are however becoming more popular in the tying world though. We can probably blame Lance Egan's for that. His Bionic ant really changed the game.

I am having trouble thinking of flies to tie for my videos. Seems that everything we use is tied by 500 other tiers what are some flies you might like to see tied on here would totally love your input
@realityobservationalist7290 Жыл бұрын
@mattsflytying2816 Yes, and that's only going to increase moving forward. I guess I would ask what your goals are? Are you more oriented toward growing a brand ($$), education, passion, etc? If it's just about your passion for tying, then I would just say don't worry about it and make videos that you like. Just consider it your contribution to the sport, and keep adding the flies and the fly-fishing content you love to the endless collection. People will like it or they won't. The more authentic your passion appears, the more people will gravitate to the "experience" that the fly-tying video provides. In a way, it doesn't matter if 500 people have tied the same pattern, people still like to have variety and choice in presentation. So make your "variants", don't worry, and be happy! But if it's about expanding the channel or making money, that's a totally different ballgame. To that, I have a couple suggestions. 1) Editing, Editing, Editing! It's all about virality and feeding the click-bait addiction. There are endless ways to do this that apply to all youtube content, so do some research or consider looking for professional help or even hiring someone. 2) Shorts. They are gamechangers. Take every single tie of yours and make it into a condensed tie that's under a 60 seconds. 3) Playlists. Create themes and subcategories to your content. Peope love this level of organization and it really adds to the professionalism aspect. 4) Do something nobody else is doing that you consider relevant. 5) Context: Beyond the fly itself, fill in the gaps with other relevant info like history, application, or interesting facts. If it's all about flies, that's probably the hardest question to answer. Something you almost can't mess up with though is filling up your video supply of the 3 basics, nymphs, dries, and streamers, and then branching out into sub-categories. Again, it really comes down to what your goals are. A channel can go in a thousand different directions, all equally relevant or interesting.

Matt, This was done to perfection. What a beautiful job you did. I'm going make some of these flies. It might be answer where I go fishing. I will say this, I've caught some good size browns and rainbows on the Elk hair Stimulators, in orange and red. It's the bright reds, oranges, and yellows that make them strike hard. There's something about these patterns. They really are terrific to use; They catch fish if you place them correctly. Great job you did!!! 🎣🧐🌲👍
