Thank you Gary.

I greatly appreciate your ausience. Seth should have no problem tying this fly. He can always contact me if he or you have any questions.

Be sure to send a photo when you complete your snake. Looking forward to seeing your work.

Heath..In a pinch I have used my hands as a stacker. I prefer using the stacker shown in the video. That being said, the bass can care less if all the tips align properly. Do the best with what you have on hand. Good luck!!!

I will try to put a couple of videos together for you. Please be patient.

Thank you!!!

I do not plan on doing any deer hair work at the Winston show, but will be tying hair bugs at the Reedsport Show February 26th.

@@shawnwest892 Thanks for the reply Shawn. I will be at both shows and look forward to chatting with you if you have time. Michael

Thank you Rob. Would love to chase some smallies with you one of these days. Surprised we never did during our CSF days.

I made the template(s) myself. I may be making a video on how to make a template in the coming weeks.

Greg, I'm interested in your Hair Packer. Can you provide a link to it? Thank you.

What a fantastic review. Thank you so much for the kind words. I make these videos to teach. Thank you for letting me know that the effort is worthwhile.

Thank you for your kind words. What sort of patterns would you like to see?

@@shawnwest892 It don't matter to me Shawn what pattern it is. I have been fly tying about four years and I thought I would never have any interest in tying these. But, that changed, I thought I would try a few. Just for the challenge I guess. I have tried about a dozen, solid colors with a red head. I have really enjoyed tying these. I'm gonna try and tie the multi colored one in this video today.

I live in South Alabama and I'm gonna start fly fishing for Bass. I've been fly fishing for Bluegill for years. I bought myself a fly rod for Christmas to Bass Fish with. It would be GREAT if you would tie another pattern that would be a good fly to fish for Large mouth Bass with. I really love your video's, you explain everything GREAT. I also, like the way you do the close ups, I can see what your doing. You don't need a camera man over your shoulder. The close ups you do are great shots. Thanks for sharing and keep the video's coming. They're the BEST!!!

I usually use a Fugly Packer, but I used a new one on this video. It is called a flapper packer. I am not sure if it is in production.

Thank you Paul. I need to make some more videos.

I tie on a Dyna- King Barracuda. Thank you for the kind words.

This is Shawn responding. I use a TMC 3761 for my ladies. I will contact Gary to see what he uses. If he uses a different hook, I will let you know. BTW, I also relocated from Arizona to Washington state back in 1996. Regards Shawn

Thank you for your comment Mike. The sponge body spider has been around for a long time. I am not sure of the originator of this fly, but it works very well. Don't be surprised if you catch a few bass along the way.
