this is "coming in, in the middle of a conversation, not enough to have any idea what they are talking about really. Well, a start maybe. Do we start with using the depth gauge on the boat to know how deep, then are we trying to suspend a live bait--or a fly just off the bottom? EIGHT pound test for small trout? We are used to fishing with four, maybe two--this is fly fishing?

Why’s it called an indicator vs a stopped/bobber like with any other reel is the real question.

Great Video.Very detailed.Do you find the vise jaw position more comfortable when you tie?Looking at a Regal.Thankyou

Great fly pattern. I should sit down and tie some damsels some day.

Awesome videos! I'm a northern bc boy and would like to collaborate on some of my patterns if you're interested

A much needed little invention for the stillwater flyfisherman....Thank you for the demo.

Excellent video, thank you for your help and guidance

Looks like orange juice

Always love a good nitrogen pour. Also, we can never escape tying chironies. Waaay too many cool variations. Awesome video and tie! Cheers

Hi. Nice tyong. I have a question. On tbe video you talk about gills, i think they are called seteae, and those help the chironomid to hold on a rock. So from tbat perspective, the fly is being tied upsidown? I mean hook eye is on tbe tail sode of this chironomid?

you are tying with the vise jaws upside down.and you don’t have to snip off the tip of the Pheasant hackle, the tip can be part of the hackle collar.

new adition to my fly box

Was the Guinness warm or cold?

That hot spot should really stand out. Love that Guiness

Hey Brandon. That’s a really nice damsel. My old standby is the olive marabou, but I’ll give this one a go and see what happens. Oh, I find CA glues sometimes gets hazy white when wet, I stick with Bone Dry UV on the tinsel bodies and thorax, then water based head cement for the head. Cheers

Nice fly, one I’ll definitely try 👍

Wow what a beautiful day Brandon…thanks for sharing your adventure…..Fish On …next time !!

Gosh I miss bc

Great Pattern 🎉 ….. You can have My IPA 🍺 THANK YOU !!!! Happy New Year 🎊 ✨🎣💫

Didn't see 1 frame of fishing??????

great tie..only one small problem with these ties... makes you take another....... trip to your local fly shop..to get stuff in this ties,, that you dont have,,, my 2nd bedroom is starting to look like my local shop, now

‘Material List: Kilkenny Cream Ale’. 😅 Well played, sir. New to your channel, smashing subscribe in 3, 2, 1…

Great fly-love the use of the pheasant tail to make the thorax cover, will definitely be trying that on my next flies. 👍

Just what i need, another pattern to add to the arsenal ! Looks good, I’ll tie a few and give them a try. Cheers 🤘

🤣😂🤣😅🤣

G’morning. I’m typically drinking coffee and watching while you’re drinking beer or scotch and tying. Nice little pattern, definitely a fish catcher. Thanks.

Great fly and fantastic fly tying session! 🔥🍀

I’ll tie up a dozen this weekend. Thank you kindly!

Killer pattern, great video!

Oh man, this fly looks deadly. I’m going to need some in my arsenal

This is a stillwater must-have.

What a fantastic looking fly and a great video!! Enjoying watching these! Bourbon always makes for a great fly tying session 🔥🥃🥃

Hi Broken Tippet. Nice little leech pattern today, thanks. You like that scotch, huh? Last time I drank scotch I was playing no pads football and went to emergency for 7 stitches in my head. Seems I lost my taste for it! Enjoy tying and fishing this cool little fly. C u next time.

Love the calm easy casual tying session. I tie and fish for the enjoyment, not to make money so I appreciate a video like this. 👍

Nice tie, gotta love pine squirrel it makes some sexy flies for sure. I also like John Barr’s slump buster, it’s another great pattern I use for river fishing in Alberta.

Nice pattern, I will copy it for my fly box, here in Chile, in the Patagonia.

have you caught fish on this fly? if so what seasons,spring,summer,fall ,winter ?

😅😅😅 Laughing at starting with the Scotch!!! 😂😅😂

Love the Scotch.

Solid tying my friend.

Love this fly-that orange bead head is a classic trout attractor. Only difference for me is to leave the marabou tail longer-you can then trim it shorter if you are getting too many tail nips 👍

Pumpkin head is a fly I actually never touch...Am I missing out? What’s your go to method for fishing them? And when are you fishing them?

Great job on the video.

Awesome video! Those will pierce some lips for sureee

Right on right on!!!

What a great way to battle the winter doldrums! Beauty tie, trout won’t be able to say no!!

If you add a tiny bit of zap a gap before you add your Holo you avoid the unraveling tendencies and the pressure from the holo sets the zap instantly.

You should try using a thin UV cement for your first or second coat of hardener. The zap a gap doesn’t set properly or takes a long time to set without pressure contact whereas the UV sets up instantly allowing you to do your second security application immediately. My opinion only.

Looks great but when you put on the crystal flash just fold the first piece back and you will not need the extra thread to tie in the second piece.

Nice looking pattern for mix and match colors. I think the wine color would have looked good with the second fly. Nice choice of beverage too.
