Fly Tying the Elk Hair Caddis/Sedge with Barry Ord Clarke

[@kellygoddard3025]

Your videos are so good. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Kelly thank you, so pleased that you enjoy them.

[@Flies_the_limit]

Always have a little trouble keeping the butt ends on top of the hook they tend to get low on the sides making the head trim messy. Just saw you go underneath the butts on your 3rd turn. Brilliant idea. Gotta go try that!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Good luck with it.

A joy to watch sir! Thank you!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks FRH.

Hi, what’s the benefit of starting the hackle up front as opposed to the back? It seems easier to wrap the hackle from the back after you wrap the copper wire, will save you from having to dodge the hackle

[@Thefeatherbender]

Several! You don't crowd the rear of the fly, you get the longest barbules at the head of the fly, the copper wire is wound over the palmered hackle to strengthen it. Just to name a few...

awsome tx

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Leonard.

After saying that the wire is wound in the opposite direction (counter clockwise), you wound it in the same direction as the hackle or did I miss something. Not sure if I saw that correctly.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Richard, maybe! who knows it should be in the opposite direction but sometimes I just loose track of what I'm doing...

[@chrismac7691]

It is counter wrapped

[@josephmeier4597]

Hi Barry! I was wondering what size thread you are using.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Joseph, In this video I am using Dyneema 55 tying thread.

Can you or do you have a video on how to get a good dubbing bodyY

[@danjohnson6292]

Sir, I feel ashamed watching your videos. Each one of your flies looks like it should be in a museum. Mine, not so much. But boy do I love to tie...

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Dan, its only practice...
