Hey Jim quick question. I just heard about this pattern so I googled it to learn more. However I'm seeing two pretty distinct patterns both saying they're west branch(of the penobscot) caddis. Some of them are this style and the others look more like a hornberg. Both say they're originally tied by Eddie. Any thoughts?

Very nice job! 👍

Why bend the hook shank. Do you mean Nought as l dont know what Aught or Ought means.lt comed from dreadnought. I England and Australia we say Oh.

Nice tying

Nice job on the articulated mayfly. When I tye an articulated I use a piece of stainless wire from the bead wire for the tail & the connection to the hook. I pull out one strand from the 19 to use. Thanks for your time and knowledge Dave Hughes 🎣🤠 Rolla MO

You are truly an expert at this. Fine job on this crappy killer. I normally put a dot of Sally's on the bead's ends to keep the shafts from coming out where they were cut off. Fine job thanks for your time and knowledge, Dave Hughes 🎣🤠 Rolla MO.

Very nice job 👍 , thanks for your time and knowledge. Dave Hughes 🎣🤠 Rolla MO.

we havent seen many videos lately hope you are doing ok

What is that in the background almost sounds like someone is being tortured lol

Some very good tips in there Jim. I'm particularly grateful for the one about how to use the hook itself to gauge how much feather to use. Liked, subscribed and many thanks to you.

thanks Jim, niceky tyed fky

Thanks Jim. I’m new to tying and frustrated with using cork for poppers. Your technique helped a lot! Great looking bass popper. Thanks again.

nice, easy popper fly, thanks

A bleached pheasant tail works well for cahill nymphs

Good Looking Jig my friend. Thanks for sharing. dale

Nice looking pattern thanks for sharing

I like your videos you do real good at it

Thank you Jim and god bless you. Fly fishing saved my life.

Great little fly, so simple! I look forward to tying and fishing this fly! Thank you

Great fly

Thank You 🎉 for this Tutorial Jim ! I’ll use this in NW Michigan for the 2024 Season !! 🌟🎣💫

can u make video how to make Cork Popper creating from scratch, sanding the shape etc...by the way, did you use a cork wine or...?

Jim, nice job of not only your skill level but also the way you present yourself. Nice job!!! Lynn Allison

Thank you so much! I can't wait to tie it

Very nice tie 0:15 😅

Thankyou very much

Great video. I heard about you on the fly fishing consultant podcast. What's the first fly you would recommend learning to tie?

March brown's DNA baby!

Great video for beginners and those on a tight budget. Simple flies have caught me more fish than the fancy ones have. For panfish, I use a very simple mosquito fly or a skunk nymphs for wet flies and I use a green or black foam spider when they are surface feeding. I even use fur off me cats for dubbing and their whiskers for tails...LOL. Look at nature for fly patterns, Make them resemble food. Fly tying doesn't have to be expensive or complicated....just enjoy what your doing!

Love that peacock rear.. always wondered how those were made

the work is very good. I also have a tool like this that I made myself using used goods

Thank you, my friend, for the response, I salute you, my friend. God bless you always

Great tutorial, thanks 😂

Brilliant video, I have been fly fishing in England for ….. 50 years…… I’m now 69. I haven’t been fly fishing all that while due to personal circumstances. However, this video is brilliant, love it. I will be watching this many times. A master class. Kind regards, as always, Ken. Rutland, England.

Jim, been home for a couple of months healing and tying. Thank God for your videos. They are the best.

Love it! It looks great and you save on not needing to get an assortment of chenille $$. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Useful video. Have a bundle of Hemingway's stuff like mayfly nymph body, stonefly body & tails. Wing buds & back, mayfly nymph rubber legs, stone fly thorax & legs & Hemingway's bug flesh, etc.your videos are the best guidance so far that I can find on KZbin for tying with these life-like materials. Really helpful. Thanks Jim. Hope to see more in future. Much appreciated. Jon.

I'm having a problem. When I pull the worm from the needle, the mono just unravels.

Thanks for the learning experience. Very clear explanation and very helpful.

interesting! a hybrid of kebari and euro nymph. i should tie them

Nice

Hey Jim this is Blake here I am curious, some say the original doc Spratley used Guinea which I don’t believe one bit and was said to have used Grizzly hackle which you have done here my question is when did Guinea start becoming a popular fly feather to use I’ve found so many articles stating different things I’m not exactly sure what to believe I feel Grizzly was a more common feather to have been used in the 1940s what’s your take on that? 😊

Acetone is very toxic on your skin...also bad for breathing it. Alcohol might be a safer and good alternative to acetone.

How do you keep the dubbing on the thread? Mine keeps coming off.

Jim does anybody spray artist fixative on feathers before using the feather it does secure the fibers together on large feathers just watch the lively legs double trouble video excellent tie AC nd video

Sir. How long do you soak the peacock quill and what do you soak it in? Thank you.

What’s the glue?

Could you use the thin guitar string for weed guard. ?

Pheasant is such a valuable material to the fly tier, and the flies that can be tied are endless. Spey flies, nymphs, and streamers just scratch the surface. Great topic!!

Nice work.
