Bells and whistles and super camera!!

[@thomasw_]

I know it is a variation on an old fly but the form of that pattern is just a smashing winner in spite of which materials are utilized. Great tie CC -- I like the hen CDL loop with the dubbing.

[@maknifeandrods7701]

This is so f---ing crazy. I have watched you forever and consider you the best fly tier in this country. Buying a 4K or 6k camera would be certain death for your credibility. But damn this camera has just enhanced your work showing how great you are. I just started up tying again from 3 years ago. 70 years old and starting to shake and for sure having to use my old surgery mags to tie and just can’t get what I use todo let alone do this quality. Thank you for such perfect work.

[@anablakp3200]

Carry on tying and you will be like Charlie "How great though art".

[@Adipper]

New camera looks great great Charlie. That fly is a “kitchen sink” approach in having many fine materials that trigger wily trout.

[@paulbridgers3820]

Really like the older patterns. Thanks for sharing and the camera looks great.

[@brianfeeney9493]

King 👑 Craven …… LUV that New Glass Brother !!!!!! Thank You for that Wonderful Investment !!!!!!! The Resolution is Phenomenal !!!!!!!! ✨🎣💫

[@marshallbaldwin8960]

New camera shows much clearer image. I appreciate the option of using the dubbing loop collar. It will definitely make my collars better. Thanks Charlie. You’re the Best!

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

Looks 👍🏼 great!

[@flyfishhunter]

One of my favorite patterns. Like the collar idea too. Thanks Charlie!

[@deansimpson3231]

Good looking fly, thanks for the video.

Gorgeous looking fly, Charlie Thanks for the tip, and thanks for the video

[@phillmartin6196]

Your new camera is great yet you are still greater, i do use specticals and i am still learning from you, we spoke 14 years ago . Thank you Mr Craven.

[@mommaangler]

Way to rock the new camera! Love the video, as always. I really appreciate all the tips and tricks you share that help me become better with each fly. Keep ‘em coming! You know I’ll be watchin’ 👊🏼

[@kirkdonnelly7982]

Very nice tie and the camera is great. Thanks for the added technique for making a soft hackle collar. I will need to look that one up.

[@fifthelementfliesmvpattern4626]

Sweet thumbs up

[@Michael-hg6ky]

Just a fantastic presentation Charlie....That new camera really makes the detail so clear it is a joy to watch. Thank you!

[@frankwilliams5475]

Camera looks Excellent 👍👍👍👍

[@richardjones2129]

I agree Charlie, slick it is! ThNk you for sharing this productive fly. I like the new Camara as it is Very clear n easy to see even with my eyes! Ha! God Bless n fish on!

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

That's a hot fly!

[@mrcrashash]

As always, another great video. I have all four of your books and love watching your tying vids. I have learned so much from you, thank you for sharing. Also like the new camera. Even with my bad eyesight, I can see the improvement.

[@phillmartin6196]

Great comment I have two books, wear specticals as I'm over 70 years and still learning

[@robertandersson331]

Have to try that hackle in dubbing loop thanks

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

I watched this at some point and do not remember when. So I figured i'd drop a comment and it'll give me a reference haha. If you fish the Provo River in Utah this fly is on fire right now. Give it a Fl. Orange/Red collar or bead and you'll be dragging them in =)

[@chrisbukowski9434]

Nice 👍

[@goldenvise]

Love how excited you are about your new camera. :) Great pattern. Great tip on using longer feathers for wet fly hackle. You got any tips on the same for dry fly hackle? :)

[@cliffbutcher2573]

Great definition with the new camera l. 1080p, or is there better now?

[@GeorgeSemel]

Well, I like that hackle trick, now only if I can find some Hen CDL. Seems it like a lot of things like Federal 210 primes are in short supply. As for the camera, yeah it's a sharper video, but I watch for the technique to tie better flies. I am just not that picky. Creating content is time-consuming. As for the fly, well it's a hare's ear nymph with a few extras what is not to like? As for the Euro Nymphing business, I have not gone down that rabbit hole yet. It's warmed up, I think the Hendricksons will be showing up any day now.

[@conorlinehan4434]

Don’t discourage him silly goose

[@wyomingtrout5581]

Charlie, this fly needs a wire rib too to reinforce that tinsel. What say you. Maybe a turn of dubbing behind the tinsel too. I have had flies fail and the rib slides off the back of the hook if I don’t.

[@randymatson5710]

Great tie Charlie. Hey what are those tweezers you are using?

[@CCBadger17]

Looks great - what is the new camera?

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Nikon D850

[@ronporreca9574]

Be careful with that new camera, Charlie. We can make out and copy your fingerprints! Going to put your prints on my vise to tell everyone you have used it before! 😂
