Fly Tying Skill Builder #23 | Are You De-barbing WRONG? Rotary Hack & Ribbed Nymph Bodies

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

The one-handed rotary method works pretty well, especially when your hands are big enough to palm the front end of a Buick. ❤

The Letterkenny “allegedly” in the beginning should have been saved for an ostrich herl tip! 😂

[@FlyFishFood]

Just wait for the ostrich baetis pattern that’s coming out. It will scratch that itch 😂

For the skill builder please show the proper way to adjust tension in both the wire side and the Smhaen wide side style of bobbin. I am having a problem with the Smhaen is too tight. Great help I look forward each week for the info. Just spent a half hour rewatching the Swiss CDC how to. I was struggling trying to get CDC in the loop. Another thought is to hammer home the idea of practicing how to do these skills until you can really do them before trying to tie a fly with a new skill and also tie larger size first of a pattern and at least 6 or more of the pattern. Also strip the hook back to bare if it isn't right this just makes you proportion better since you don't want to tie that fly 5 times in a row before you can tie the next one of that half dozen. Keep up the good work. Denis Higginson

That greeny chatreuse latex looks awesome! Thanks for another good video guys.

[@andytillack6998]

I think we need some videos on more idioms. Either way, these are great. I'm learning a ton! Thanks Guys!

[@yankeeloverio]

I always look forward to your skill builder videos! And thanks for getting my money wrapped up in materials 😂

[@FlyFishMike_]

👍👍

Good one, especially on debarking and thread holding. Thank you. One suggestion on debarking older saltwater hooks with thick barbs - after bending the barb down, file the thick part of the main body of the barb to a sharper angle to get better hook sets. ^

OK!! I need to remove the bobbin cradle right now. thank you for the video.

[@KScott-hd8vw]

Pinky idea is awesome thank you!

[@maxlytle6456]

Creech, thanks for the trips on wrapping latex. How about a segment on wrapping quill to create segmented dry fly bodies. Pun intended.

[@nicholasdeluca3580]

Great lesson, as always. Thank you

[@RollinRollinReelin]

Nice job guys!

[@scottgraham3492]

Thank you, that looked great to me!

[@marcbonvouloir6351]

How about doing one on splitting thread to insert CDC

[@FlyFishFood]

On the list!!! You need to check out the new SMHAEN thread splitter. It’s amazing.

[@SkiCop33]

Who makes that bobbin?

[@k9er233]

Stonfo. Made in Italy.

[@allenaviation5746]

When I searched "latex", I got ads for for some pretty daring garments. I suppose they can be sliced into 4mm strips.

[@petervanstone4097]

Wonderful video but l am concerned about your non dependable friend is he under control.nervous looking over my shoulder.

[@Speedring1]

How about ways to keep tail materials from fouling. I have used a small loop of mono. Any other ways?

[@FlyFishFood]

It really depends on the fly. But yeah. Good idea.
