Ahrex - Y&O Dahlberg Diver - tied by Andreas Andersson

[@FattyMateo]

That open clip it's tied to at the end is horrifying

[@dylanbarney3290]

Watching this for maybe the tenth time, still finding mind blowing subtleties. Goat level deer hair work...

[@paleozon]

Man! What an awesome piece! I wouldn't dare fish this fly. This a museum or a gallery art piece worthy of an heirloom trust. Thanks for sharing.

[@steveg8322]

Sculpting rather than tying, or a mixture of both. Amazing.

[@FishfryOGMcTaco]

My God your work is nothing short of amazing. Truly beautiful.

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Thanks 😊

[@djavidianmx1832]

Much as I can never trust a skinny chef, I don't trust a fly tyer with such an immaculately clean tying desk. It's not natural🤣🤣🤣 Amazing tie. Way above my patience level.

[@2_h279]

The Pringle lid idea is so helpful ty

[@Mrfluefiske]

I would really love this video with a “vocal”. Andreas has so many different techniques that is impossible to show just with “video”. I have tied flies with this master before and my god he is good! Is there any chance of uploading this video with the vocal? All the best, Eivind B.

[@FlickingFeathers]

I agree, 43 minutes of bad music is nowhere near as interesting as a good explanation

[@chucksmith5002]

Such a master very detailed . I`m new at this I like the way he just takes his time and so precise and methodical .

[@the_forgotten_angler]

super sick hair work.

[@TabobandungT]

This is very helpful, thanks, I didn't realize how much you could actually fit on one hook. Incredible technique, I'm just starting out and watching a master really helps, even without words.

[@bobmiller7753]

My first time watching Andreas. Magnificient! I have never seen deer hair done as well. Will be looking and hoping for more to come perhaps with voice and some instructions. Bob Miller

[@IulianBud]

Great fly, great flytyier and very good flytying tube👍

[@joeschatz6617]

Larry and Andreas, a great combination.

[@tommythompson9090]

Came for the pimp fly tying and stayed for the pimp music. Oh, exceptional tying, BTW...

[@emhankinson]

My gosh! That is one beautiful fly. Nicely done!

[@bruceking9927]

So over the top cool!! Unreal and i would love to fish this diver. Absolutely the nicest stacking and trimming i ]have seen! I took a class from Dave Whitlock and Larry Dahlberg in the 80's on tying this fly. This takes it to a whole new level! Most excellent.

[@keithcorreia5937]

Bro -you are beyond amazing..blows my mind!!!

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Thanks, Andreas is true master!

[@domtiesflies743]

43 minutes without narration and I think some parts may even be sped up. It's an awesome pattern I just can't imagine it would be profitable for a commercial tyer unless you were charging $25 for it. Probably something I'd keep to myself. Much respect to the tyer though, amazing skills.

[@ahrexhooks3652]

We didnt have the right sound-recording at that time, but we do now - and off-course we will try to get Andreas in the studio once again and make him tie another and explain during the steps :-) he is indeed a master when handling and tyind with deer-hair :-)

[@charlieboutin3341]

I’m figuring they’d be starting around $100.A local tier ties 15” Gamechangers that take about 40 minutes and gets $75 and he’s back logged for months. I’ll just stick to tying and using Wooly Buggers.😂🎣

[@domtiesflies743]

@@charlieboutin3341 that’s crazy lol. Shoot I’ll stay at home and tie game changers all day for $75 a pop.

[@richardstrouth2359]

Great Job. Loved seeing a true artist work

[@lucioperca72]

Super,super,super! Accuracy like a watchmaker ...🙏👏👏👏

WOW... truly a master of his craft.

Beautiful tie!

perfected perfectionism. Great Tying Andreas

[@Aloistruebner]

crazy!! nice tie.. loved to see this

[@StatesideFishing]

Great tie 👏 thank you for sharing.

[@Podobed]

I agree Mr. Andersson needs a t ying dvd with full instruction on some patterns.

[@iflysw1]

Thanks for sharing, nicely done !

eres el mejor crack saludame te lo estoy pidiendo desde hase mucho por favor me encantas tu vídeos 😲😲😲😍

[@jameshazen2907]

This man is an artist! That’s all I can say 👍

[@telecasterblast]

Music is better at 2x playback speed. Nice bunny.

[@brandondirocco9816]

I'll just keep buying these i don't think I'm ready to try and make one yet

[@docandry77]

Great-looking fly. I don't see any replies to any of the comments but I'll go ahead and ask a question here. I'm a fairly experienced deer spinner and I make pretty good poppers and sliders. However, the three times I tried the Dahlberg Diver, I ended up cutting my thread trying to trim it down to look like yours. Any suggestions?

[@andrewlomas5877]

Smaller clumps of hair at the front end will help you get a tighter look without cutting the thread.

[@mariomagana130]

Great job, congratulations...

[@montanastrongremodelrenova1632]

do you have a fly recipe for this one? Thanks

[@ahrexhooks3652]

@@ahrexhooks3652 thank you and you make spinning deer look easy.. ughh i can do it well but its a pain in the arse still

[@MattsFishinMission]

Just out of sheer curiosity... what would a fly like this cost??

[@NWFlies]

imagine snagging this fly on a rock first cast after tying

[@johnsmith-sw7ii]

You are an artist....my friend!!! What would you have to charge for one of these???

[@danielfonseca2558]

a work of art congratulations !! just a question about the material used on the front of the popper whether it is deer belly hair or deer body hair?

[@markrigg6623]

Its probably belly hair. Thats got the most sponginess to it which is what you need for it to flair well. Most brands won't tell you exactly what it is, they'll just call it deer hair. The thicker and spongier the better.

[@cachi-7878]

I would think it is belly hair, as it is white and can be died nicely in any color.

[@redshaftedflicker]

If you're patient, pay attention and turn off the music I don't think that you can get a more informative tutorial on how to tie a Dahlberg diver than this. Damn, this is some fine tying!!

[@redbear801]

Very nice tying. i would like to tie one of these guys. What size of the Ahrex PR320 Predator Stinger you got to tie this fly? 4/0 or 6/0?

[@truthbetold2012]

so wheres the fish?

What is that super magnum hair stacking tool? Thanks!

how on earth do you manage to get so much hair on the hook

He is just a master in deer-hair work, hard work behind the vise just pays off 🙂 Please check out the other Dahlberg Diver he has tied in our studio with explanation and tips for packing deer-hair 🙂

Makes me wonder how many thousands of these he’s tied over the years to get them this perfect......

Blesk!!!

[@biasedharold3613]

The goat

[@markrigg6623]

He's not but he's very good. There's a fair few of us that can tie to this standard. The books I learned off in the nineties actually have some photos of flies that are even a bit better than this. Just in the control of the bands of colour. The density of the hair is no better. I've lent all my books to a client and can't remember the name of it.

[@donaldmcglaughlin235]

wow

[@judgetoogood1033]

No Talk No Good

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Hi Judgetoogood. It is a older video we made with the equipment we had at that time - but we recently made a new video with Andreas tying a Dahlberg Diver - hope you like this one better 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJfHYYtrmdWZjbs

[@mikeking453]

Wish he would do something a little harder

[@markrigg6623]

Its not that hard. Youve got to be prepared to waste a bit of material and make a bloody great mess but you would be able to do it if you want. Jimmy Nix's old video on tying bass flies was how I learned.

[@troutstalkersflyshop9426]

word

[@cachi-7878]

First cast, he loses it in log… 😬

[@vicenteochoa2950]

I would not mind at all you cutting my hair ,...

[@charlesw7012]

This would have been a lot better if he would tell what he was doing has he was tying the fly, instead of playing that crappy music, this was usless to some one learning to tie flys

[@markrigg6623]

Jimmy Nix's old video on tying bass flies was how I learned and it got me to this standard just if that's helpful. But you're right, its frustrating that its a display of skill more than an actual tutorial.
