I really like this wet fly and think it’s a fish catching fly. Anxious to get my starling from J Stocker. Thank you Sir Matt for making these great videos.

Interesting, you tie your North Country spiders the same way that I was taught, by tying in the base of the hackle feather. I've since been told by experienced tiers that you should tie in the feather at the tip, because that part of the stem is more flexible. I've been trying it that way for a while and I'll allow as how it's easier to tie this way. But, tie them the way you like, they still catch trout! Thanks, Matt!

Thank you for this video Matt. I’m finding the history you share to becoming very much more intriguing to me now. But your tying is still at the top of my list. Thank you Sir. Great fly.

Absolutely! There are only a handful that I've gotten my speed down to about four minutes. A CDC elk hair caddis is my main. This could easily be another. 😁

Matt, you did a good job tying up this Bloa. I have some old hooks, gossamer, and plenty of hackles but I am not good at doing this ultra-simple fly. There is nothing simple about handling those Starling feathers.
@SavageFlies
@SavageFlies 3 жыл бұрын
Ha! I agree Jim... these tiny starling feathers can be a lot more difficult than they should be. :-)

Enjoyed the simplicity of this one. I like your tie off gizmo for the thread (can't remember the official name at the moment). Seems to me that could serve many more purposes that fly tying. And I thought your music level was just right.

Thanks Debora! It's called a whip finish tool and a whip finish is basically a half-hitch knot with several wraps. This does make me wonder who invented the tool, or when it first came about. That might be interesting research. :-)

I'm still learning a lot and getting the hang of what works and what doesn't work too well. Not sure if it's too early but I have bought a spanish wine that I like to celebrate #1000!

Nicely tied fly and if you're really interested in North country spiders have a look at Robert L Smith's book the north country fly,also no criticism but two suggestions tie your spiders on normal shank hooks and even less than half the dubbing for the body the tying silk should show through the dubbing

I wonder how one goes about inventing a fly, if that's even possible these days with there being so many flies out there?
@SavageFlies
@SavageFlies 2 жыл бұрын
That's a great question Cody! I imagine lots of very similar flies have been "invented" by lots of people with decades and miles between them. It seems to be rare that someone comes up with something as novel as the Elk Hair Caddis or Copper John anymore. But who knows? I'm sure there are some uninvented flies just waiting to emerge. :-)

Lovely fly and tying. However, I always thought that the dubbing should be so sparse that the thread should be visible? Anyway its great ot use modern threads and available materials. people idolise Peasall's silk to the point of fetishism. :-)

@SavageFlies 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you Terry. And I think you're right, the body should be a bit more sparsely dubbed. I'm still learning here myself, and the few I've done since this I made them a bit closer to the original. Thanks for the note my friend!
