I like your stuff Jim........no music, no long-winded explainations.....just nice clear simple instructions. Perfect ! And...less than 5 minutes....well Done.

[@TheFlymanJim]

+Glenn Rogers Not all are like this but thanks. I also try to explain things for beginner fly tyers. I feel it's our responsibility to teach the sport to keep our numbers growing.

[@glennrogers4274]

yes.....I see all the members in my Flyfish club are are grey and silver....no smolts coming into the club. Can't be good for the future. Guess I have to work on those two sons of mine. cheers.....

Hey Jim I just stared fly fishing and have had a couple of trout on my fly rod and I got a fly tying kit for Christmas and this video really helped me keep up the good work. Jack

[@TheFlymanJim]

Glad to help Jack let me know if you have any questions.

[@jackblaubach5717]

What are trout feeding on around Wisconsin and Minnesota boarder and what kind of fly should I use? Thanks jack

[@TheFlymanJim]

I live in Pa. and the water is too high to fish right now. But if you look out for early black stoneflies you may have some dry fly action. You can find out what is hatching on your waters by going to google and search "Hatch chart Wisconsin Minnesota". These hatch charts will tell you what to expect and when.

[@jackblaubach5717]

Would you ever consider doing fan mail with and giving some of your flys to help a young fly fisherman get into the sport like me?

[@TheFlymanJim]

Send me your address in a private message. Face book me.

[@Enpassantful]

Nicely done Jim, is that a dry or wet fly?

[@TheFlymanJim]

+Joss Cues This is a dry fly.

[@Hitter5658]

Hey, Jim...what exactly are you using for the tail? Looking to order the materials to the some up. Thanks!

[@TheFlymanJim]

This is just hackle barbels. You can use microfibbets (artisrts paint brush). And lastely Coque De Leon Barbels

[@Mastershake1217]

jim have u ever fly fished kettle creek up in Potter county

[@TheFlymanJim]

No I haven't I live near Scranton.

[@Mastershake1217]

[@upperprepper8233]

This tie's pretty much like an elk hair caddis. Beginner here.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Not really. Elk hair caddis has hackle in the body. Although you don't need it, unless your fishing riffiles.
