Fly Fishing Skill Builder #16 | Coloring Hackle, Twisting CDC and Marabou, and Durable Hackle

[@albeatty1404]

Gretchen & I have been tying for many years and the tips you share here are GREAT!

[@beyforghani7962]

I try not to miss any of these skill builders even if I don't tie that particular pattern. Whom ever came up with the idea of skill builder series surely deserves a gigantic raise!

[@FlyFishFood]

Only thing that is raising here is my weight, age, and blood pressure!!

[@beyforghani7962]

That's the kind of raise I was thinkin!@@FlyFishFood

[@maknifeandrods7701]

I have been tying for over 40 years and still enjoy your skill Videos. I still learn new techniques

[@electrontube]

I just started fly fishing a month or two ago (in the middle of winter) and started tying flies right after that. When I needed CDC for practicing on Smokejumpers, you guys are definitely going to have it. Also: when my son saw Cheech, the first thing he said when we left the shop: "That was a large human""

[@FlyFishFood]

Well. He was absolutely correct 😂😂😂

[@WASATCH.FLY.CO.]

Something I would like to see In the next skill builder is wrapping goose biots as a dry fly body.

[@Equipubest]

"Narliness"! Love it!

[@edwardmlotkiewicz2343]

Thanks, Cheech, for another great skill builder.

[@mattn9628]

These videos are very helpful and I like your store. Thank you.

[@MarieMeredith-y2o]

Thanks Cheech😉

[@theLEFTY15]

I would love to see tips on splitting thread for dubbing and cdc. I’m using utc 70 and I spin it counter clockwise and for the life of me can’t see to get it flat to split it properly.

[@StuL7292]

Thanks for the great videos. Always enjoyable. What could you use to substitute for CDL fibers in tails?

[@FlyFishFood]

Any hackle fiber.

[@razorbackFlys]

I can't find the Hackle Twister on the website.

[@RollinRollinReelin]

Hi Cheech! I want to know more about this tool that allows us to twist up two or more marabou feathers from this video. It's that cottereli hackle twister. Please send me the link. Thank you sir!

[@ronaldstorman]

I looked on the website to find that hackle twister but can not find it how do you get one

[@FlyFishFood]

It is called the "Cottarelli CDCand Hackle Twisting Tool" www.flyfishfood.com/products/cottarelli-cdc-and-hackle-twisting-tool We also have the products linked in the video description.

[@andrewwebster13]

Oh, I think that’ll fish just fine…. That’s a great fly for active fish…. When my buddy shows me what he just tied and I try to be nice.

[@trappertrustgod4948]

How does anyone like the overhead view of doing these tutorials? What is your opinion?

[@FlyFishFood]

You can’t see my hands otherwise. It’s not to show how to complete a fly. Just the techniques.

[@benperchalski4825]

If this is episode 16 how is there 16 weeks prior episodes? I'm just making sure my math is right.....🤔 Keep up the great work guys

[@FlyFishFood]

You should go watch each one. There are Easter eggs everywhere.
