Nice Fly SHORTY! I hope all is well with You! Looking forward to seeing more of Your Tying Videos.

What are your favorite flys to carry in October

Your videos are awesome. Do more please!

Do you do a white .ridge pattern

Excellent video! Tks! I like to keep dries in the type of box you mentioned but with the wind many times is tricky.

Really helpful video!

The Umqua box...I've come to loath it. Dark colors so you can't see into the box. Tapered lid so you can't stack them. Difficult to place the flies.

Are we going to see some more content. Your videos are really great. I look forward to them

I too enjoy using EP fibers. Question: how do you determine how much to use for this pattern (or any pattern for that matter)?

beautiful selection and organization and great short film

❤ love it, thank you

I have done something similar and spent the last 7 years researching the best fly patterns from every source I can find! I have created several books where all the patterns are written down. I reviewed each and reduced the patterns down to the most essential which will catch Brown trout, sea run Brown trout, Brook trout, sea run Brook trout, Rainbow trout, Landlocked salmon and Atlantic salmon! These are the fresh water fish available where I live. Each pattern must be effective for many of these and some (a small number) will catch all or any! I am down to about 30 patterns at this point! I still have specific Atlantic Salmon patterns…the exception, at this point! It is a work in progress and may never be complete! I rarely fish dry flys as I found no need! Soft hackles, flymphs, wet flys, bucktails feather wing streamers and hair wing flys are what I use and on a good day can catch over 100 trout releasing most but keeping perhaps a 1/2 dozen for a meal! Trout are very abundant where I am and if anything overpopulated in many waters here so taking a few for the pan is not frowned upon and expected! If not done correctly, catch and release often kills the fish you caught, later and out of sight! I never touch any fish or remove it out of the water! I keep it in a soft mesh net and grip the hook with haemostats, a quick twist to free the hook and dip the net to let the fish swim away! Probably not perfect but as good as I can do! Tight lines, keep on tying! Best Regards!

Caribou hair floats better than Deer, Elk or Moose(not good)! It is quite hollow! The only disadvantage is Caribou is more brittle so will not hold up as well as the others! However, for a spun deer hair trimmed body such as a bomber, it floats much better than the rest. I hunt and have taken Caribou, so it is readily available to me, as is SnowShoe hare! Thanks for your video and the info!

Absolutely amazing 🙂

Mate, great tie and mad skills shown, thanks for showing me this. Peace to you too.

I was checking back to see how your doing health wise. Love you videos

Excellent video

thank you - I love this video - so useful!

Amazing video. Happy I found you channel

How's your health these day? I just got over Cancer and really enjoy your videos

I want to see your March brown nymph .im looking for a good pattern. I just tied up some loren Williams and would like to know yours .just got done tying your hares ear a nd pt emergers

I remember when i started fly tying money was a real problem so i choose a fly i use a lot of (my go to fly) and bought those materials and every payday or anytime i had some money, i would go buy one or two pieces of fly tying material. This was a great way to stock up on materials without ever feeling like i was breaking the bank!! Now 48 years of fly tying later, i can fill a simi-trailer with my fly tying stuff!! Oh ya, i still need more materials! We will have enough, or ever be satisfied with the materials we have. Because someone somewhere created a fly pattern with materials we do not have!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I haven’t tried a fly in over 30 years. But I’m getting back into that pleasure again! Your video was a great reminder that being creative is far more fun, then sticking to the book. Bugs took out a good portion of my feather stock. So I almost have start over building my supplies up. There’s a lot of new stuff going now. Let the fun begin!

What is the name of your vise? I need to upgrade my beginner one. Thank you

Are there any tips to share on lighting and posture while tying? I love your videos keep whipping thread!

You don't need all this big money stuff. The first vice that he had will do the job. All the vice has got to do is hold the hook. You can make a lot of the tools.☺

This is the way!

WOW Shorty! Outstanding!

Another great easy Tie SHORTY!

👍👍👍👍👍

Well Done! Thanks for Sharing and great Instruction.

Hey Shorty Tom Puzio here. It was Great To see You at The Edison Show this Morning. Your LOOP Method was Genius. Please post a video of it in the near future.

Amazing video! Like it a lot! Best greetings from Germany

I just got several Collins capes/saddles. Very nice. Really good price too for the cape and saddle. Unfortunately he is no longer raising chickens and is now just selling off the last of his stock. I'm going to order a bunch more just to have them. Kinda a pain to order though

Tying some this week! Peace

From obsession to disease!! Aaaaaaaand $30k later ... I am 1000% jealous. You could AIRBnB this space to men for about $300 an hour for 'mental therapy!' Just an idea. (I'll reserve January 2nd for the next 3 years, 10am to 1pm.) To get over the holiday madness. Thanks, Nick in Redfield Arkansas

Great video and fly Shorty thank's for sharing.

Very cool looking streamer shorty. Thanks for sharing

Great little breakdown. One thing that always bugged me no pun intended is in which direction to put the flies into the little slots. Occassionally i find out that i put them in upside down. Also with a bit larger flies especially egg patterns i tend to skip a slot in order to make room for the next egg fly. I have tried putting them in free roaming boxes but egg flies with a veil tend to get stuck together in the hooks. So you go to pull one out and 5 come out and you drop a few on the ground lol. I havent tried magnetic boxes yet?.. plano makes a new one i might try. Lastly i put all my streamers in bugger barns but they take up alot of space. I kinda wish the slots in those were a bit closer together. Gain one thing and lose another. Too flat of a box and it crushes certain flies... Any good box recommendations for holding a large amount of egg paterns and nymphs?... Thanks! Fish on!🐟🎣

Thank you for sharing. I am a beginner fly tying guy. But this looks possible. 👍

Very nice Shorty. 🔥

Great looking parachute Shorty, I like the look of the shaggy Woodchuck fur makes some great texture, now I have to try that!

Another good one

Gidday Shorty. Fantastic tutorial. Great tips. Thankyou.

Would love to have a beginners guide to buying hackle😂. I’m overwhelmed by the options and want to know what the best bang for the buck is. “If someone has nothing… what should they buy first?” I have been tying flies when I go to my dad’s house😅… now I am building out my own kit but haven’t spent 30 years collecting things on sale like my dad has. Where should someone start with hackle?

Thank you Shorty, a wonderful modern take on the Mayfly!

WoW ... incredibly well done video AND so informative. Thank you. Nick in Redfield Arkansas

Shorty, you’re ‘Longy’ on skill!

What a lovely fly. I’ll certainly be trying this in the coming season here in Ireland.

Another great tying video
