I’ve been trying to figure out how to tie this one for months, after seeing it on your instagram. Thanks a lot for showing us how you do it! You are a true artist, mr Järvinen.

[@pasijarvinen5975]

radioglyserin You're welcome. Thanks.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Hello Pasi! This is not a fishing fly, this is a work of art. Love it! All the best from Argentina.

[@kurzhaarguy]

I watched this one a couple of times. Superb craftsmanship and an excellent demonstration of bobbin control. I played around with this a little and found that the veining on the side could be simplified by tying together the ends of the brown side rib, then using a dubbing spinner to pull them forward along each side. Great pattern and skillful tying.

[@Duschbag]

I am in awe of your skills and resulting artwork. If I were a trophy Trout, I wouldn't stand a chance.

[@caryverhalen]

In my humble opinion, this is the ultimate evolution in techniques and realism.>>>--->🎯

[@starskyarsky8374]

One of the best imitations ive seen.

[@leonardwells9613]

A better pattern I’ve never seen, stunning tie, just excellent !!!! L 👍👍

[@stevenzufelt9819]

Absolutely perfect, great fly. Excellent tie.

[@davidroth644]

Love watching this process! The views you have for watching your videos is sweet. Great detail!

[@jparryprodeal]

I love the segmentation, beautifully done, great fly tying

[@sonsoffishes1]

What took you 11 mins would sure take me an hour. This is super realistic and I'm looking forward to tying one. Tight lines! ❤

[@puccini4530]

That is truly exceptional.. Now I'm off to the tying desk.

[@cjt6314]

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

First cast and a pike gets it lol :p That would suck. Really beautiful fly. Glad I stumbled across your channel. I literally tried to buy a vise today but my bank flagged my transaction as fraud and has locked me out of accessing my money, was on hold with them for 3 hours to try sort it out but they never answered so I'm going to try again tomorrow. So close to getting started!!!

[@killerktm801]

Très joli merci

[@marccxxshammer6643]

absolute top class

[@Flyadventures]

Nice Work !!!

[@janmarkson6475]

Very beautyful creation, but i wonder, this pursuit of perfection is it for the fish or the fly fisherman satisfaction? 😉

[@robinred1851]

I guess both !!!

[@yakovlev_e]

Pretty cool!

[@juans3728]

I am totally speechless.

[@victordelabarra6758]

[@onceandaway]

Brilliant! Thanks!

[@pasijarvinen5975]

Thank You, James.

[@waortho]

Fantastic fly my caddis are just a little darker any source for darker latex materials? Or should I just color with marking pen. Finally you’ve given me a practical use for Swiss straw.

[@mygmail2402]

It looks tasty 😋 😅😅😅😅😅😅👍

[@vasja.kserov9604]

Лет 50 всё мечтал нахлыст освоить. На Нёмане увидел, как мужик плетёнкой (конической) забрасывал мушку. И пробовал, из кусочков вязал от 1 мм. до 0,1 мм. И, и, и... и........ Книги купил, пёрышки рисовал..... Выше спининга не получилось.

[@ronuhlenhopp9368]

If this fly fishes as well as it appears, it may be the best caddis pupa around!

[@survivorjohnny44]

Impressive

[@NikolajFreiesleben]

very realistic

[@kelverde]

That’s serious art right there. I bet it’s as effective at catching fish as it is at looking great!

[@falchemist1]

What hook are you using? Great fly!

[@pasijarvinen5975]

Thanks! Hook is Hanak H360BL, but any similar profile will do the job.

[@tomriddle5102]

But won't the fish be concerned about the huge stinger (hook) it has sticking out? I know nothing about fishing btw

I am looking for guest tiers for a zoom tying demonstration. Our group generally has 30 participants. Would you be interested in doing one? They are on Wednesday evening for about 2 hours. If so, let me know and we can talk.
