[@nicolelewis1828]

Nice fly, Mak. I am curious: what are you using for a dubbing brush? Also, why do you varnish the thread at the end before whip finishing? Thanks!

[@Makflies]

Hi Nicole Thank you for the comment,, I am using Sticky Velcro on a wooden Stick, ANd Varnish Seals the knot and make it stronger and Waterproof, Regards Mak

[@user-bs1yp2ce6j]

🔥👍

[@Makflies]

😊😊

[@JEMHull-gf9el]

Superb tying. Where can I get that dubbing?

[@Makflies]

Thank you lockTest, you can buy Black Hare's Ear Mask from ebay :):) :)

[@gregb8824]

Hi Mak, what species do you like to use this fly for? Trout in mayfly season?

[@Makflies]

Thank you G Bank,, It's mainly for Tout & Grayling River Fishing , 😊 😊

[@schmoonkie]

Thanks for posting. What wax do you use? I suspect tying this down to a size 20 would be effective when midges are keyed on by fish.

[@Makflies]

Thank you friend, I am using Prepared Wax from Veniard, you must have a good Eyes for size 20 lol,,:)))

[@schmoonkie]

@@Makflies Thanks for the speedy reply. I found an outfit that sells it in the US: Stone River Outfitters. Actually, size 20 is a boat anchor in Colorado. We frequently tie down to size 26 and even size 28 - 30 are not unusual. For example, see Gamakatsu C12-BM Barbless Large Eye Midge Hooks. I had the experience that Tricos in size 24 were refused. I dropped to size 26 and started catching fish. My 87 year old friend ties his midges down to size 32.

[@Makflies]

@@schmoonkie Wow, you lot must have great Eyesite, I struggle to tie that small lol,,, :))

[@marksleeper3752]

[@danieloleary4560]
