[@SveninColorado]

That, sir, is a work of art! A tip of the ol' Filson to you.... brick Just moved to N.E. Arvada from the N.W. Highland neighborhood of Denver. Its a real blessing to have found you and your brick&mortar fly shop so close by. Tight Lines and blue bird days.

[@silvertip8k278]

Best golden stone ever!

[@kevinjtoner]

Looks good enough to eat! Excellent instruction. Thanks for the video!

[@rightmarker1]

Excellent precision - great looking nymph. Thanks. John. 🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@dgreathouse10]

Beautifully done. You are truly talented

[@seanmooney3907]

Thanks for that great pattern. Great looking nymph. Deer Creek has a great UV resin that dries with no tack. Solarez is also great. I have it and use it as well. All the best, Sean

[@LanceDean1981]

Thanks for the demo Charlie! I was hoping that you'd do this one!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

One of my favorite golden stone patterns , gets down fast and is very durable . Use it here on the Madison year round size 12 & 10 :-)

[@bloodborne6]

Amazing videos! Truly inspiring

[@paulvalley2125]

Hi Charlie, I'm a new subscriber because I am thrilled with your fly tying abilities. They are very impressive and an inspiration to a fly tying novice. If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, your introduction audio level is plenty loud enough but for an aging fly fisherman it's a little hard to hear when you're speaking. Could you please increase the audio level during the time when you're instructing us? Even with my volume up all the way it's sometimes difficult for me to hear you at those levels. TIA, Paul

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Paul Valley , thanks for the input! I’m a pretty soft spoken guy so I’ll have to make a point of speaking a bit more loudly!

[@paulvalley2125]

Charlie's Fly Box Hi Charlie, I was in broadcast video and you can usually increase the volume in post-production or you might want to consider wearing a wireless lapel microphone. They have a crisp audio response and will easily increase your volume before post-production. Thanks for the fast reply too. Paul

[@paulvalley2125]

Charlie's Fly Box I forgot to ask does that clear coat work as quickly as shown in your video? It seem like you only had it on for three or four seconds before it was hard. Paul

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Paul Valley it cures pretty darn quick. The lamp is powerful and zaps it in a hurry.

[@donaldburleyson3099]

As far as the curing goes it does harden very quick. I accidentally cured the top of my bottle shut from about 12 inches away. The lamp is alot stronger than you think!

[@MatthewEvey]

Gorgeous..

[@mg-by7uu]

Beautiful fly. Don't you worry the fish will spit the fly easy with all that weight?

[@stewynofly]

Great looking fly. Excellent tutorial. But, something looked different to me, are you a southpaw?

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Karl Stewart I’m right handed but I tie left handed.

[@jkdurden]

Thanks Charlie!

[@kellysmith4555]

We're is your shop

[@brooktroutangler5917]

3/32 beads are very small. what size hook is this? I realize you have TMC 5262 8-16 listed, but what size is the hook on this particular fly? Cheers.

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Brooktrout Angler this is a size 12 Tiemco 5262.

[@erniewalker5050]

very nice!!!

[@keithkijowski8077]

which uv light do you prefer

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Keith Kijowski I use the Resonator lamp from Solarez. I think the key is the rechargeable battery is always at full strength.

[@jordanduchein691]

Yeah I’ll never be able to tie both tail biots at once and I’m ok with that

[@john-michaelrobinson3994]

Epoxy is a resin

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]
