However, certain things show up in the mail and I'm looking at this tiny bag of stuff I probably could have gone to a bigger store, bought miles of and been set for life! haha

Hello sir! I was looking for the Lamay? material you tied with in this video and I can't seem to find it. Please can you send me the direct link to it? I also love love love your brush making table. I think it's genius! Please add a link to that so I can either buy it now or save up for it. I am a 61 year old male born with spina bifida and I use a wheelchair and I am a fixed income(SSI) and Medi-cal. I'm also new to tying as I've been doing it for about a year. I am hoping to learn more and develop a high level of tying skill so I can also sell flies etc on sites like Etsy. By the way here's an idea. Have you ever considered designing an extending brush making table that can be extended or retracted as needed? Please respond with the two links and your feedback reguarding designing an extending brush table. Maybe together we can toss ideas back and forth and come up with a design for a functioning extendable/retractable brush table? I bet we could come up with it. Thank you sir for sharing your fly tying knowledge and experience and your money and time saving hacks. Also what does the pulsating light do as far as curing resin???

Thanks for sharing Mike! I think your onto something; I'm gonna start hucking my fly & line out like a lasso and when I hook up turn around and beat feat away from the river! 🤣 Sounds like a new exciting way to fly fish! I'm a later in life convert to fly fishing but mostly because of the eroding values in the general fishing culture, that seem to still be solid and the bastion of fly fishing, no matter the species. Conservation, Sportsmanship, Ethics. Those sort of things. Modern fishing with all it's tech just seems so backwards. My first fly rod was the $30 Martin setup in Wal-Mart and I had a hoot catching bass and panfish on it with poppers from the beginning.

Nice looking fly. When designing the fly shape, how did you intend the fly’s action when retrieving it? The slope above the hook eye makes me think diver, but the upward slope under the hook eye seems like it would plane upward. Or do they offset each other, and it travels straight without diving?

great looking fly Mike. it was tied in a hook using thread and and fly tying tools onto a hook so its a fly for sure. the guys and gals who are all traditionalist only using fur and feathers don't understand that the only reason our grandfathers didn't use the materials we have today is because they didn't have them availible to them. if they did they for sure would have used them. there is a time and place for furs and feathers but foams and synthetics often hold up better. if you tie it on a hook using thread its a fly no dought about it. again great fly Mike. fish on and tight lines.
