Nice! I took a longer tenkara rod and some parachute adams a few weeks ago and managed to hook a few on the shore. One thing I’ve noticed with long, fixed line rods is the reach over potential snags on the backcast.

"10 years old" Woof. Shot in the dark but I just got mine and was wondering the best way to pack it up as to not affect and compact down the interiors material? So far the best way I've gotten it into the sack is to fold it over twice, then firmly (but not tightly) rolling it up. I didn't know if that was the proper way to go about it but I'd like to avoid ruining it considering the price point.

@Arrowhead-Equipment gotcha, will do and I appreciate it. The quilt feels primo so I'd like to keep it around as long as possible
That's actually a double Davy knot. The Davy knot only loops around itself once and is good for tying on flies with small hook sizes. The Double Davy is good for tying large flies and lures. Both are excellent. I exclusively use the Davy and have for years. Never had one slip or come untied. The tippet will break long before then. If you tie the single Davy be sure the tag end winds up 90º to the leader line. The leader goes straight into the eye of the hook and the tag comes out 90º to the eye. Thanks for posting. Great instruction.

I have your jarbidge underquilt and your white cloud top quilt both 6oz apex. I have only used the the jarbidge so far in my UL version bear mountain bridge, It worked nicely, temps got to about 30. I bought the white cloud to replace a 6 year old enlightened equipment 20 degree quilt that is having down issues. I have yet to use the top quilt with my set up, I was wondering if you could do a video on the white cloud. I am confused by the top draw cord. Thanks for the products, I am a big fan!

If you add a little bit of “ glue “ to the loop of tread just before it closes tight you will avoid getting it on the peacock and your fly will last much longer then a day! Nicely tied! I will make some to try for the local trout!

Ok, just got my gear. New to Tenkara, fly fishing, and actually haven't fished for over 30 years. Knots for some reason take me a while. So I watched many videos and yours was the best. Giving the hand technique up close was the key and you could actually see the loops going over or under. This is how you do a tutorial. The others I watched, by masters, seem to not realize that their aim was to people that never tied the knots. I will be watching this video over and over until muscle memory kicks in. And slowing it to 25% on the Davy knot Level line to fly solved the only hiccup I had.

@Arrowhead-Equipment5 жыл бұрын
Hey Juan, UNI Yarn would probably work but use up more material to build up the body as it's a thinner yarn. I would hit the sewing supply shop and pick any wool yarn off the shelf that stands out to you. Either would be just as effective.

Paul, picked up some ring neck pheasant and tied several flies. A couple of observations: 1) you did not mention in the video whether to tie the hackle in concave side up or down. I tied mine in concave side up and struggled with keeping the fibers from tangling with the thread. When I watched the video closer it is clear that you tied in concave side down. Clearly makes a difference. 2)4 I acquired some Pearsall silk thread. Unfortunately it is very heavy thread when compared to the thread you used in the video and bulks up the fly more than I feel is proper. I then stepped back to using Ultra Thread size 280 which seems to work well. And a size 10 Umqua barbless hook.
@philstevens69346 жыл бұрын
Paul, I have to say that, for me, this was a difficult tie. I used Umqua size 10 barbless hooks both curved and straight shank. I also tied using standard red 280 Ultra Thread and Pearsall red silk as you did in the video. I do not see how you could tie using anything less than a size 10 hook. Anything smaller would make using the Pearsall thread more difficult than it is on a size 10. I found that wrapping the peacock hurl much easier by hand vs. wrapping it around the thread. Finally, I used partridge soft hackle, but I am not happy with the way it looks on the hook. Too thin. I will order a pheasant cape and try again. I hope this does not come across as overly critical, it was simply my own experience.
@Arrowhead-Equipment6 жыл бұрын
Hey Phil, Keep at it. These do take a good bit of practice to get a nice look to them...this is probably my 500th time tieing this fly. I tie the same basic fly down to about a size 16...the smallest I usually ever use. Check out my Akiyamago video...same basic fly with a dry/stiff hackle.
@philstevens69346 жыл бұрын
Paul, sorry to keep asking questions, but what exact part of the pheasant cape do you use for the hackle? Back, neck, rump? Thanks
@Arrowhead-Equipment6 жыл бұрын
Most of the feathers right down the center of the cape and off the shoulders work very well for this fly. But I also use the ones around the "ring"...the small dark blue ones are great for very small flies and the large bushy ones closer to the tail end are good for larger flies. You can get a ton of flies out of a good quality Pheasant.
