@@vandemonian5412 no better testiment than from it's home! Cheers

Cheers. That's much appreciated

@@robertperman8967 thank you. Yes you absolutely could go that small

Often more than one way and I believe it's about finding what works for you not necessarily about doing what someone else does. I'll have to give your method a go as well see how I like it.

Cheers 👍

Glad you enjoyed it, cheers. You are absolutely right so many fun ways to play with it

@@troutfixnz cheers mate 👍

@@mountaincreekfliesjimmy8386 cheers glad you liked it

Similar to it the Manhattan midge jsut has the flash tied in and trimmed a short way behind the peacock rather than fibres looped over like this.

Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to yet. Been looking for a chance but haven't ticked the box for where I'm fishing yet. Most of the patterns I fish here are small 18 nymphs and small dries. That being said the guy I tied them for had some success with them down in the south island around Tekapo which is why I tied them in the first place. He claimed a few big fish with them I believe.

Cheers hope it works well for you

Cheers mate 👍

Thank you very much

Thank you very much. All the best with them.

Cheers glad to hear that

Cheers 👍 likewise to you

Cheers. That's much appreciated. There most definitely will be. I will start filming and editing again now that through the Christmas season.

I disagree as far as if it looks good, I like it. But with that being said its completely subjective as far as that goes from both of us and doesn't really matter. As for the why, which I think is more important. You could absolutely tie this with a full hackle if you wanted to however gvien we have the deer hair wing which is going to assist with the floating of this fly I strip half the hackle to change the foot print on the water surface and give a more sparse silhouette. I've only used this one for a short time so can't say I've used it enough to say one way is better than the other for sure but that's my theory.

Cheers. Yeah it's a really cool materials. I hope the pattern works well for you

Thank you. Realistically the same question could apply regardless of the material I used though. It could be something you have heard of and still apply. I think DBY is a great, versatile material. It also has some cool colours and is simple to use in a range of ways I wanted to demonstrate which is why I used it for this video. Hopefully you can get your hands on some to try but if not then that's alright I'm sure if you substitute something else in it will work as well 👍 all the best with it either way.

That's all good don't have to use this hook I'm sure it will work on what you have. That's a great collection of the Dirty Bug Yarn! All the best with them hope they work well for you

Cheers glad to hear you enjoyed it. Hope they work well for you

Thank you

Cheers 👍

Cheers, yeah I've definitely had some fun with them.

Hey, the soft hackle has a lot of movement which is what you are after by using it. The dry fly hackle has very stiff Fibres so you would lose all that movement by using it.

@@southofnorthflyfishing That makes sense, thank you

Cheers mate much appreciated. Hope it goes well for you 👍

Cheers, hopefully it works well for you up there.

Cheers mate that's much appreciated. It's a lot of fun and I'm enjoying the process of making them. Learn a lot myself while doing them also

It's made by C&f design it's called the 3 in 1 dubbing brush

Thank you very much

Hi Russell I've fished it swung across and down then as you would a normal nymph as well with success both ways. Often though I'd find when fished it's picked up often as it lifts at the end of a drift as well as during the main drift. Hopefully that helps

It will be fix squirrel dubbing and Pheasant ail for the rest

@@southofnorthflyfishing fix squirrel?

@@womenontheflyz sorry fox not fix. Getting late here and auto correct got the better of me with that one.

Thank you very much

Thank you 👍

Hi Russell thank you very much. In this one it is camel dubbing but you really could use any light coloured dubbing and it will work. Generally I use creams through to dark olives and greys. I hope this helps.

Thank you very much 👍

Thank you very much glad to hear you have enjoyed them. All the best up North hopefully the patterns work well for you 👍

Thank you very much and cheers for the subscription it's much appreciated

Hi Reg, thank you very much you can definitely fit the feathers on a 14 and 16 b110 there are some smaller ones but also techniques you can use to fit larger feathers on and tie the rest as I have in this video. If you look up Tightline Productions he has a video called using large feathers on small hooks which is a great demonstration of a technique to do it. As for where I fish it you can use it for all of the above tie to the size you need and have at it. You could also put a bead in front of it and some lead wraps and make it your bomb nymph as well. All the best with it I hope it goes well
