Baetis with spent wings (dry fly)

[@joeduca8582]

You are welcome ;-)

Nice Fly ! Worth a try tying for the upcoming season !

[@phillipbriles4128]

Viewing this video tie made me feel as though I were watching a HD movie in the cinema. The sound track was perfect as well. In my experience, you are the first tier to place the cam corder between the vise and the tier, which is precisely what we would see as we tie our own flies. I believe that you gave all of this some serious thought before you began tying/recording. You are an incredibly skilled tier. Thank you for all the trouble you took on our behalf. Stunning. I'm subscribed.

Hi Phillip, good you like it. and many thanks for your kind words. :-)

[@makotosasaki3491]

Great beauty is splendid

[@stonefly8622]

Good Work. it looks like a nice flypattern. Greetings from austria

[@SMHAEN]

Thanks for the kind words. ;-)

[@flytyer2368]

Stig: another excellent pattern and some fabulous techniques for creation of the wing. I have one question...where did you get your whip finisher? I haven't ever seen that type. Cheers my friend!

[@adriancedrola]

felicitaciones por el atado, gooddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SMHAEN]

Thank you very much :-)

[@guybaumgartner4244]

very much fly compliment

[@Flying_High_Again]

I love all your ties! I also like working with CDC. The suggestion I'd have ID to call out the color. I know one guy that ties that is color blind :) makes for interesting bugs sometimes!

[@SMHAEN]

Scott Blackhurst Thanks good you can use it. :-)

[@ghart91]

I must compliment you on your great looking flies. What type of whip finisher do you use?

[@guybaumgartner4244]

parfait tank you

[@JoeBillingsley]

Beautiful, as always. I know you said you use a flat 10/0 thread, but what different brands of thread do you use for various applications? Thanks for the great videos, Joe

[@SMHAEN]

I Use a lot of different kinds of brands for all my flytying. the White thread i am using in this video is a Danville I think.

[@MatteoOnlyFlyFishing]

nice tying!

[@SMHAEN]

Thanks ;-)

[@crazytrutas]

Nice fly! How many CDC feathers are in the dubbing loop?

[@SMHAEN]

crazytrutas thanks. there are two cdc feathers in the dubbing loop.

[@bastianvasquez159]

where can I buy?

[@striperjohn]

very smart fly. I enjoy watching your use of CDC. Could you share the maker of your hackle pliers? It is a never ending quest of mine to find a "better" plier. Keep the uploads coming, I enjoy very much and thanks.

[@SMHAEN]

Hi John, Thanks a lot for all the kind words ;-) the plier is a very old one. I dont know who makes it.

[@urbancorpse5547]

seems that this fly could have been simplified and still looked exactly the same only with a few less steps to tying it, tail should have been tied in first, splint the thread with a bodkin needle no need for a dubbing loop, and the ribbing kinda defeated the purpose of using the quil for the body, over all this fly could have been a lot lighter and more likely to "Float" and not sink like a rock

[@SMHAEN]

Fly tying for everybody my friend 😉

[@BillHilbish]

Why didn't you use the rib thread to split the tail?

[@SMHAEN]

You could do that in this case i dont do it because of the bug bond keep it in place.

[@sshen51]

what brand CDC do you use?

[@SMHAEN]

Hi Sshen51, I dont use any special brants, because the quality always change. I look at the bags and always go for the bags looking good. hope you can follow what I mean.

[@joanibca]

To much feathers
