Thanks for the video ! 11 Mile Canyon is a fabulous and beautiful location in the winter to fish. The wind is not ' as bad ' as being out in South Park in the winter which can be brutal.

Great fly …. Only thing I do is place the bead further back so as not to crowd the eye

Can you share the specifics (material, diameters, lengths) for the straight line setup you briefly discussed in the video? I’d like to try and build one out.

great video! Are those the thin black rubber gloves used in food service?

How did I not know you guys had a KZbin? I bought my first fly rod there 11yrs ago and still use it to this day. I plan on giving that fly rod to my son for Christmas for his first fly rod.

To add with socks, another thing that plays into it is how tight they are. If they are too tight they can cut blood flow and cause your feet to get cold fast. I have fished in very cold conditions and stayed very comfy.

Thanks for sharing all this useful information! Maybe follow this up with a tying session with some winter flies? Tight lines 🎣

Name of the song that starts at minute 9?

Wow where did you get that cool Boot thermometer do you guys sell that at your shop? Nice informative video thanks!👍

Great information Jon. Could you give a a more detailed breakdown of your line setup. Length of leader, length and weight of sighter material, length of tippet. I would like to try your setup. Thanks.

Thanks, Jon, for a very informative video. When you're tightening really small stuff (midge larvae, for example), how do you set up your terminal tackle? Do you tie your nymphs off of tags, or tying off the bend (or eye) of the upper fly? And how do you weight the rig (what material do you use and where do you place it)?

Nice presentation EXCEPT needed serious editing to get rid of repetition. Thanks anyway.

Love it

Looks awesome. Thanks for making this video. Can’t wait to tie some up.

Nice patterns, and I have a couple of questions… Why use downturned eyes on larvae and adult, but straight eye on the emerger? Since the larvae is wet why not use wire instead of the stretch rib? Thx!

Thanks for a great video, and the tip about the correct way to position the spine on the ostrich herl.

Great tip & video - thanks for sharing. Do you have any thoughts or tips for carrying a net & netting larger species like salmon or steelhead while fishing solo?

I know caddis are more plump in the back but I hate tying them that way😅

Those fish only eat little bugs! 🫢

Thanks for the video….great info.

Great Video!

Pretty scenery! Wonderful information! I learned so much. Thank you.

Great pattern Hans! Easy to follow. It was nice to see you start over again a couple of times. Just makes everything more real. j winters

I notice that you dint completely surround the body with the vail.is it not nessasary

Tell is what an what the name of what you are using?????

7-weight?!!! 4-6 weight for this guy 7-weight is a coho rod, no current or serious issues for trout in Stillwater no matter how big they get.

Very strong, fast swimming nymphs - typically two cycles each season, first #12-14 second later one is smaller #14-16. Also spinner falls, so 4 stages: nymph, emerger, dun and spinner

The elevator “music” makes it hard to hear the narrator & is unneeded & unwanted & annoying. Use just the narrator & the sounds of nature as the soundtrack.

Someone has watch a lot of Charlie Craven videos

I agree background music too loud. Excellent info thx!

Annoying background music!

Please omit the annoying clicking sound!! It is very distracting as you speak! Thank you.

You have to love an insect that keeps banker’s hours for your fishing( if you’re not a morning person).

Nice video. Your teaching style is very effective!

Curious what shoes you are using? Are they wading boots? I’m looking for a lower profile and lighter weight wading boot for summer. I prefer just wet wading in Chacos but can’t mange that where I live due to freestone nature of river. Thanks. Informative video 👍

purple haze box 😃

Simple and effective fly pattern. Which thread and color are you using on the orange annelids? Thank you.

Great looking fly m8. Have you ever used orange mohair yarn for this one???

Very well done video on caddis stages. Brian does an excellent job of explaining the materials and tying process for each fly. I came here to see how you tie the Emergent Sparkle Pupa & got a bonus with the other 4 flies. I learned to tie the Emergent & Deep Sparkle Pupa in 1990 in a tying class with Gary LaFontaine & tied & fished them successfully (green, brown, gray, cream version, along with amber/ orange for sunset) for landlocked salmon for 25 years on the West Branch of the Penobscot in Maine. I stopped tying when my back forced me to stop fishing. I took up tying again when I found out my local chapter of Healing Waters welcomed fly donations. I found myself needing a refresher on tying Gary’s flies & have been watching a ton of videos to get back up to speed. As Brian noted,he ties the fly a bit differently than Gary (- curved caddis hook instead of a Tiemco 100, tying in the Antron overbody as 1 hank rather the 2 separate ones & a different head dubbing & lacking the tailing shuck). His variations still result in the same effect as Gary intended, & I expect he would approve the difference. Thank you, & much respect to Brian, your camera person, & your shop for making & posting this video. You just helped me plan the next batches of flies I will tie. If Brian is still there, please ask if is he using Fiskars scissors in the video & did he grind down the tips?

Thanks for the excellent video. Could you answer two questions: 1. What knot do you use to create your dropper tags? 2. What is the diameter of your dropper tags? Thanks.

How many feet of mono from the fly line to the barrel swivel / tippet ring? Is you slip indicator above or below your swivel ? The whole rig length with the indicator up high is how many feet ?

Great story and I remember when General Fishing Tackle on North El Paso was your biggest competitor, well kinda ….

very well explain tutorial. Thanks for sharing

Is there a tippet ring at either end of the sighter material or what way is it attached?

I am a more traditional fly fisherman and am a big fan of Chironomids (midges). I have seen a number of presentations regarding this subject and Jon does a great job! Thanks for presenting this bug in a way EVERYBODY can understand. I encourage folks (new or "seasoned") to go into the shop and pick this guy's brain.

Midge tip line?

Biggest fan ! !

I was relieved to see you recovered your amber drinking bottle. Very informative video. Thank you for going to all the trouble to make it. It is greatly appreciated.

I always enjoy anything Jon says about fly fishing wither on youtube or at the shop. a very generous guy!

Very nice! Tight lines🕷️🐜🐛!!!!!
