Your skill builder series is terrific! I've been tying for nearly 50 years and I learn a ton with every episode. If you are looking for suggestions for future skill builders - the segment about labeling deer hair patches reminded me how poorly I understand the characteristics of deer hair from different parts of the animal's anatomy for use in different fly patterns. I wonder if you might describe the characteristics of hair from different areas on the hide, and how that translates into the appropriate use of those characteristics for different patterns. DB

Fantastic!

These skill builder techniques are great! Thank you and keep them coming!

I really like the Gator grip dubbing Twister. It even works pretty well, keeping stuff out of the way when you don't have one of those newfangled clips that always seem to be out of stock, Cheech. I just may buy a black one to go with the yellow one that I bought from you fellows back in 19 I guess. Spring can't come soon enough.

Can you put a white paper under your vise to highlight the hook?

[@laurencomstock7364]

Hey Cheech, I like the look of your magnetic fly box, I haven’t seen one like that before. What is it?!!!

[@FlyFishFood]

Custom jobber. No longer made.

[@66bigbuds]

Elk actually are a deer breed.

[@christiannilsson4071]

None of those are available...i call BS.

[@FlyFishFood]

What are you looking for? These videos aren’t necessarily to sell the products used it’s just to show a skill. We order weekly on most things, so if the manufacturers aren’t back ordered they usually show up quickly.
