Wow, great demonstration, Jay! Always appreciate your tips!

Thanks for another great video Jay.

I never meet Mark, but heard he was a character and creator of the carpet fly. I found places on amazon to buy small skeens of yarn and hope to crank out a few of his creation. Ill never go thru 7 big skeins of all that yarn.

Another great video with tying tips. Thanks. I thin Sally's Hard as Nails with regular lacquer thinner from Lowes. I don't know if it will thin other nail polishes.

Thanks

Awesome tying session Jay, great tips too. Love the use of the bump or shoulder to prop up the hackle. I tie my soft hackle wets like that. Thanks!

Another great fly and thank you for spending some time to review the materials before tying the fly. Most often I end up tying with materials on hand. Reviewing the materials gives me a better chance to match up my material to be hopefully close enough. Take Care

Another stellar performance. Thanks Jay.

Keep the tying vids coming buddy there GREAT 🎉

Great tieing tips!!! The sr should be firing up after the rain and warm weather that they're getting.

We used that fly a number of times great results when we need to class it up!

I like green butts and I cannot lie!!! Except when they have lumpy butt disease 😅

This is a amazing fly!!!! You been slamming steelies?

I'm really enjoying your videos. Keep them coming.

Always a pleasure to watch how you tie your flies. If I may, if you use Danville 6/0 thread it lies flat. Bill Hunter once told me to then use your dubbing needle and rub the head and the thread will further flatten. There after you can apply what ever head finish you prefer. The heads will have a nice appearance. It is very interesting to me that you deliberately provide "shoulders" to have your hackle stick out. You see that style of tie in West coast steelhead flies. I tie Atlantic salmon flies and find just the opposite. I slim profile seems to work far better. Then again it is a fish and there isn't much of a brain there. They are apt to do things that don't make sense to us. Though many Canadians will tell you that thin black flies imitate elvers which are returning to the salmon rivers.

Love the fly video. Thank you

Enjoy your tying style and tying tips. Keep posing tying vids. Thanks

Tied one a size 6 stonefly hook...i forgot the antenna lol.

Hey Jay...i dont uave many scud hooks in size 6, but have hundreds in tmc 200 for stoneflies. I assume they would work. Im always leary about changing ingredients on tested and proven flies.

Yes, another great tie, with tips. Thanks!

Great pattern and the various colors are great. Do you have the material recipe or did I miss it.

Great video! I enjoy wayching them! One question, i noticed you a blood knot to connect your leader sections. I thought i heard you say in another video, you only use double uni knots, i may have misunderstood and in this video you used it to connect your leader to tippet?

Keep making the fly tying videos. Thanks Jay.

Some great tying tips in this video Jay !

Great video!! Your videos are very easy to follow!! Keep them coming!

Great medium-sized steelhead wets Jay! As an old steelheader (over 70) I've been thinking about flies that have worked for me over a lifetime. Despite my interest in having intruders and large sized flies being a remedy for consistent success, looking back 50 years finds size 4 and 6 traditional west coast patterns being far more productive, almost 25 to 1. Fall favorites, polar shrimp, skunks, etc...I think your great take on modern steelhead wets will take over my fascination with intruders😂.

Thanks for another great fly pattern. What size range do you tie and do you ever add weight to the fly? Take Care

That was great, Jay! What are the largest/smallest you've caught with on this pattern? I'm glad you showed the hackle technique: I've only tide softs with partridge up until now.

Tie the hackle in by the tip and fold. It ties in easy peasy, always flows backwards. My little hint for the day.

Awesome fly.

Thank you so much for doing these.

Great hackle winding tips! Thanks

Nice tip on keeping your hackles from twisting. I will definitely be using that from now on. Best tip of the year….. so far.

Nice pattern! Thanks for the “hackle pinch” trick!!

Thanks Jay! Keep the tying videos coming. I think they're great and your tying tips are very helpful.

Hey Jay still glad to see the shop still open. Is Carl still with us, I've visited the shop for close to 50 years now and always enjoyed his knowledge of rods reels and tying tips, not mention the awesome standard dry flies he had tied up. Still have one of his original wing burned bwo.

Awesome video! Thanks Jay!

Thanks for sharing your patterns…I noticed in other videos that you have a Norvise, I would love to see how you use it.

Thanks, Jay...always like your fly tying videos! I guess you are swinging these wets on a spey with MOW tips?

Love the fly tying videos! Keep tying Jay! See you soon on the river

Beautiful wets Jay. Love the colors too. Thanks.

Nice tie, Jay. Enjoying the tying videos.

Very nice!

Beautiful flies. Can wait to swing them in front of some steelhead this spring. THANKS!!

Like the videos. I'm a steady viewer. I have moved to pulaski ( village) just above DSR. I watch vids and fished here on and off since about 1998. Anyway just saying hi. And as far as fly comments. Have u seen the fairly new both MFC and the FNF squirmy material. U can get it tied with out any worry about slicing the thread.

In my 4 years of swinging flies I have had pulls on a big intruder, say, and then waited 10 minutes and throw back a small wet fly and got a solid take. This is what they say to do. It works.....sometimes

Thanks for another great video!! Appreciate your dedication and hard work!!!

Going to tye some of this the hook 2151 what size do you recommend

Awesome Jay thank you again.😊

Hey Jay, just wanted to reach out and say how much I appreciate the tying tutorials. Even if they aren’t your most popular videos they are very valuable as a subscriber and fellow SR angler
