[@terrytotch6496]

man I have to tell you that ol kelly has nothing over on you ,,every time I watch you tie it makes me want to set down and start tying you make it all look so easy ,,and you have so many ways to make the tying so much easier ,, thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@scottdavidson4446]

Thanks for improving the filming with more close ups and the narration! So much better 👌

[@ahrexhooks3652]

You are welcome - hope you got a few (or a lot) trick from the master himself 🙂

[@OculiCorvus]

Never been fly fishing or tied a fly in my life, but the passion, innovation, and skill is captivating. Such a cool artform; a dance between beauty and utility. Well done, and thank you for the video!

[@rlwkirsch]

Spectacular job! I have the worst time shaving the bottom without nicking the tying thread.

[@ageorge7140]

You're the Mozart of fly tying Thank you for another great video and sharing your experience with all of us.

[@markrobinson3841]

An amazing pattern and serious deer hair skills. Well done Andreas fantastic video a pleasure to watch

[@NickDelleDonne]

Wonderful Tie……beautiful deerhair art! For a fishing fly, a tan head would be simple as that is what the fish will see from underneath the fly. Nice Job!

[@scott4350]

Thank you for making this video!

[@dylanbarney3290]

Thank you so much Andreas, and ahrex for releasing this! I've probably watched your first dahlberg vid at least 50 times, watching and digesting your techniques. Adding the narration, has provided so much more. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!🙏🙏🙏

[@scott4350]

You are without a fought the hair master! I have learned a lot of tips for spinning hair from this video.

[@Stoops1973]

What cool technique. I’m just getting into tying with deer hair/spinning. I probably won’t make this my first tie 😂, but soon enough I’ll be watching this video again and making a Dahlburg Diver. Simply amazing!

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Thanks ☺My guess is that Andreas didnt "nail" it the first time - or second either... but a thousand deer-hair flies later he gets it every time😉 He is a true magician behind the vise ☺ Happy tying 🙂

[@sarah.sconnie]

I come back to this video again and again - such a great pattern and really wonderful instruction!

[@bogoins9348]

Fly tying art. Too beautiful to fish. "Life is Good on the Fly!"

[@timwood8733]

what a master piece -well done

[@andremiegies4005]

Super cool tying work Andreas! ansd also perfect filming! well done guys!

[@paulbridgers3820]

Absolutely amazing, beautiful tie.love your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@craigklintworth9009]

Nice video !

[@judgetoogood1033]

Andreas, very beautiful. I usually don’t like music since it is always so loud. Where can we see you exhibiting your fly tying. Thank you and take care….

[@RollinRollinReelin]

This is so awsome! I hope to be as skilled to do flys like this some day.

[@ahrexhooks3652]

I know he har worked hard to raech this level of tying for years... lots of practice, lots of good and bad flies and a lot of vaccuming of deerhair below his tyingtable (and the rest of the room). But he is a world class deer-hair tyer 🙂

[@edhead5296]

Amazing 👏.... I'll have to add a handheld hoover to the toolkit before I try one of these!.... Andreas, what vice base are you using?

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Thanks and he is a true magician 🙂 He is using a Regal Revolution but with a costum base. But just seen Regal introduced a bigger and heavier base which is more stabile when tying flies and putting a lot of pressure on the tying 🙂

[@montanastrongremodelrenova1632]

how long did it take you until you could actually create good Dahlberg heads? You legit do the best I have ever seen by far.. even better than larry himself

[@mattroberts9199]

Great sound track. Who is that 47:08

[@chrisfahlbush2663]

Wish there were links to buy everything along with the recipe. I would love to tie this. I just don't know the proper names of everything to look for everything to find them online.

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Thanks for the respond. Tying a fly like this - and at this level, has made Andreas go through a lot of deer-hair for finding the perfect type of hair for his flies. But if you go through the tying description in the start of the video or in the video-description you should be fine 🙂

[@FISHUNDERTHEBRIDGE]

Wood love to see somethink like this agen this dudes sweet at these all day

[@janipotry]

I dont get it how you can fit so much deerhair.

[@biggiesmalljaws]

His thread tension is masterful and he never wastes a single wrap of thread through the whole head tying process.

[@biggiesmalljaws]

I’d love to get my hands on a set of Marc Petitjean’s here in the states….. 😮‍💨

[@nicholasmortallaro221]

Can you make these work with body hair if it flares well or do you always do belly hair? Thank you sir. Magnificent job.

[@biggiesmalljaws]

Belly hair is more buoyant than body hair and it’s naturally white so it dyes extremely well but yes you could use body hair such as a primo strip or hair designated as spinning hair as those have the hair density you’d be looking for, just know it won’t be as naturally buoyant. 👍

[@thomasgreenup1049]

Larry never tied one this nice.🇺🇸

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Thanks for those kind words 🙂

[@sebhoudard3898]

Awesome !master !

[@leonardwells9613]

FANTASTIC pattern….utterly consummate tie to say the LEAST !!!!! Not sure I wouldn’t put it in a frame as a personal tying treasure rather than fish it though (kidding….kind of 🤣) truly excellent technique, many thanks for this video. L 👍🎣👍

[@feroxgordon]

Really good video completely ruined by the unnecessary music which is so annoying

[@Aloistruebner]

100% neat mate!!!!

[@davincifpv3983]

How does it swim?

[@ahrexhooks3652]

It swims very badly... splashing and popping water all over and attracing predators ;-) No you can retrive it slowly and just let it slide on the surface - but with more agressive retrieve the fly will dive a bit and pop the surface. It is also effectice to be fished on a sinking line. A really effective style of fly that can really trigger predators like bass, pike, muskies and big trouts - give it a try 🙂

[@davincifpv3983]

@@ahrexhooks3652 Thanks! Thinking about using it saltwater, here in New Zealand, on Kingfish (Amberjack ish)

[@judgetoogood1033]

What type long scissors are you using? Looks like Jean Petijean long rounded scissors. Thank you….

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Andreas uses several scissors, and a lot of razor-blades 🙂 A long for cutting the hair from the hide like: www.hareline.com/item?phrase=&category=Fly+Tying+Tools+%2F+Vises&line=Scissors&stockcode=LN1957 And this special curved for trimming the collar: www.hareline.com/item?phrase=&category=Fly+Tying+Tools+%2F+Vises&line=Scissors&stockcode=DRS74 Hope it is useful 🙂

[@biggiesmalljaws]

They are Marc Petitjean Long Fly Tying Scissors 👍

[@loosieclocker]

The man

[@bobbypetro1218]

One more marabou away you would have big bird nice job my friend😂🦩🐓

[@djavidianmx1832]

Two things I never trust: A skinny chef and a fly tyer with an immaculately clean tying table.. It's not natural🤣🤣🤣

[@ahrexhooks3652]

😂😂😂

[@tattvamasi_1]

👏👏👍👍🔥💪

[@tejano2828]

Vise nes jsing please

[@juliofernandez6063]

🇺🇾👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@timmckennie4276]

Lose the background Muzak.

[@timmckennie4276]

Incredibly close. If you prefer “random noodling on steel guitar which makes it harder to concentrate on the fly tying”, you can go with that if you prefer it to “Muzak”

[@djavidianmx1832]

@timmckennie4276 clueless to the actual definition and content of Muzak

[@timmckennie4276]

Does “generic background music” work for you?

[@douglynch9012]

Are you sure that fish can't count, after all they do tend to travel in schools ? 😁
