Nice 👍🏽 simple caddis pattern! Thanks 🙏🏾 for sharing! IOBO would be cool 😎 with Ostrich too. Like 👍🏽 your buddy said. I’ve got to give that a try!

Annoying watching you struggle with the vice.

Phil is a real one 👍

Nice work. If you're ever at Bennett on Wednesday mornings stop by the fly tying group

That perch matulka looked very cool

Great explanations for us folks new to fly tying. Mega Thx !

I will be using a yellow schlappen feather. Thanx for the patterns.

and it still works today. It's one of my go to if nothing else is working. World renowned Bow River browns candy.

don't throw the Gard hairs away.I use them and the under fur (cut up the Gard hairs) and blend them in my coffee grinder((I bought at Walmart) and it makes a high floating dubbing. When dubbing on small hooks I invert my hook(rotary vice) so it's upside down this way you can get right up to the hook shank and you save your fingers from getting stuck . Nice feather ,I choose to use a feather from a wood duck wing ,the colour and speckling on them is unmatched.

I'm an old dog (70+) and I can still learn a thing or two ! Watching you tye Mr. Beatty has taught me a lot of tricks I never new before watching you tye. My father gave me my first fly tying kit when I was 14 ,for Christmas. I later found out it wasn't SANTA but my DAD.I've been tying and fishing ever since. It will always be my passion , hobby and art .Thank you so much ! Ken from Calgary Alberta Canada. tight lines !☺👍✌

Love the Beattys fly tying I enjoy watching your channel. Thanks.

Gidday guys. Nice flies from both of you.

Looking good, Mike. Tight Lines - (Gretchen &) Al Beatty

John, we LOVE the video. We must admit, we've never shaped balsa wood popper heads. Now that we know it's so easy, it will be in our future endeavors. Also, we really like the double camera feed for the material addition part of the presentation at the end of the video.

Good job. I’m glad you will be getting to the Woolly Bugger soon. It’s a great fly for beginners to learn & so vital to have in your fly box. It won’t be of much use in Omaha, but if you pick up viewers on the East or West Coast, they will find saltwater versions of the San Juan Worm or the Wooly Bugger will be useful to imitate saltwater worms. You can use a variegated chenille like you showed or a solid color, especially white, black or red. Fish take them as sea worms or small minnows. Best wishes in your series of videos for Healing Waters. I tie for a local Healing Waters chapter near Boston, & it’s a wonderful program. They are sponsored by a local angler club which has it’s own pond, so they focus a lot on trout & bass flies which are likely to be pretty much the same ones you would choose.

Gidday Gretchen and Al. Nice work and great tips. Thanks.
