Thorax Basics-Tips

It seems that all new tiers seem to struggle with quantity of the materials they use. Here i am trying to show it on thorax. How small amount can actually be more than enough.
Hope you will like this one....
Best wishes... Vladimir

By far the best instructional video. I love the attention to detail. So here are the things that I highlighted that I'm doing wrong: 1) I've been using FAR too much CDC (Generally a whole feather instead of half) 2) When creating a dubbing loop I've been putting the material too far down the loop making me take extra wraps to get my material in position 3) I would add the CDC in a loop tie it off and then make a rope of dubbing material. Now I will create the rope on one side of the dubbing loop 4) I was putting FAR too much dubbing material Thank you so much for the video

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks for this comment. It points out exactly the reason why i made the video. I saw people struggle with these things and i remembered i did as well. Its was surprising for me when i first realised that fish will in general rather pick slim and sparse from too bulky.. M

[@platty9237]

FWIW I’ve done all those things as well.

[@brentshaffer1891]

You are absolutely right, you could tie the perfect euro nymph… And ruined it with a lousy collar. You are perfection. Thank you

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much. I agree completely 😃😃😃

[@timmanion2197]

Watched this just after another vid emphasizing thinning out materials: changed my whole approach to tying EVERYTHING, perdigons to intruders. Many thanks!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. Glad the video was helpful for you. 🍻

[@jp410]

What's the thinning-out video? I'd be interested in watching that one. It's an issue for me, definitely. Thanks!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@jp410 what is thinning-out video? Not sure i understand... Sorry.

[@jp410]

@@Oholisfliesandfishing Sorry Oholi, I was curious what video Tim was referencing in his comment.

[@danjohnson2098]

Thankyou sir.So appreciate your techniques.Especially the dubbing loop combo hackle fiber/prepared dubbing.Very realistic and durable.Looking forward to the next one.Thankyou.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Glad you like it. Hopefully i will continue to post once a week. It's challenging at times but i love doing it 😃😃

[@gregshark1546]

Very good tips, we just don't realise how often we tie the thorax to heavy!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Couldn't agree more. People use too much materials very often.... I do it too.... 😃😃

[@rplecker]

This is an excellent video on a variety of techniques. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Glad you like it and that it was helpful. Cheers 🍺

[@gregb8824]

Thanks for thinking of things so subtle that many of us do not think of till someone points it out. Well done, looking forward to all you produce in 2021

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much. I hope i wont disappoint 😃😃

Hi Vladi, I found your video just as I started to prepare a new box for a Vaal river trip. This has helped tremendously....I can see see the difference immediately! My flies are much less bulky and better defined. Warm greetings from South Africa!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Glad to hear that. Some little thingscan make a huge difference 👍👍🍻 Your fellow countryman wrote recently a wonderful book about tying... The feather mechanic... Great read.

Happy new year. Another excellent video, with some very well explained ideas. I’ve enjoyed your videos through 2020, so looking forward to more in 2021.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you Matthew, glad to hear that. I hope i will keep up posting quality videos.... Sometimes its challenging, job, small baby.... But i love doing it and i am looking forward to recording more. I just hope to post more fishing videos 😃😃😃

[@garynoonan7373]

Excellent video. Totally agree, but have been on 'auto-pilot' adding dubbing to jig nymph thorax. Thanks.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks for watching.... Just simply dubbing it is also fine... I like to add cdc thats when i prefer this way. Or when i need it really tight

[@danlim3763]

Awesome instructions ... thanks for sharing Happy New Year to you as well :)

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you very much. Have good holidays 🙏🙏🙏😃😃😃

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

How many “passes” through a hole where you are unsure if it contains a fish would you send your nymph before switching nymphs or moving to another place to fish?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

If i "feel" there should be some fish i would stay longer.... Even an hour. But, usually, its 20min per stretch.

[@newflyrod1]

Great looking fly 🪰, Thank you for the tips, do you ever attach your hackel while winding your post. Have a great day and thanks for sharing your talents 👍

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. Its kind of confusing. What post are you referring to? Did you watch my latest video but made a comment on another one?

[@newflyrod1]

Sorry I was watching your new video on Red parachute. I have auto play on and I didn't realize I was not in same video. I was wondering when tying parachute flies do you add the hackel with the posting. Material when tying the post.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@newflyrod1 i assumed you watched it. I like to make post first.... Same as in this video.... Later when i ads hackle i actually reinforce the post additionally. Thats the main reason i do it this way

[@tocayofishing6538]

Great job

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks a lot 😃😃🍺

[@jorgemerino4709]

Hi Vladi Happy New Year, best wishes for happiness and health. Thanks for the video, but unfortunately it came out without the possibility of subtitles …😢😢😢

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much. I wish you a very happy new year and to all your family too. I tried to see whats happening but it seems that subtitles are ok, i can turn them on... Are you watching on the phone?

[@kjw3823]

Very helpful video. What dubbing are you using for the thorax in the first fly in the video?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. I made a video about that dubbing too. Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/omWXd2d7l9N3eq8

[@pierrebatigne7696]

Excellente vidéo vlad,merci pour tout ces conseils, le vernis 502 que tu utilise peut d'acheter où, merci pierre

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Merci beaucoup. Toujours tester la colle avant d’attacher plus de mouches. J’espère que mon application de traduction fera du bon travail 😃

[@timothyalton3821]

I hate UTC 70 thread it snaps on me about every three minutes and gets frayed very very easily and it’s an absolute headache to use but it’s all I have in olive colour

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I love it. But it does fray easily. Thats why i am trying to keep my hand skin in ok condition. Even slightly cracked skin will fray it.

[@flyfishingernstl9548]

Goood video, as always, thanks! What’s about splitting the thread instead of making a dubbing loop? Split-thread-thorax is a bit neater in my opinion. What do you think?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you my friend. This one is super thin, 18/0 its pain to split 😃😃 otherwise its the same.... Unless one makes loop with thick thread.... Which would be a mistake

[@cpmorris1001]

@@Oholisfliesandfishing At what point do you NOT create a dubbing loop? Should you split UTC 70D?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@cpmorris1001 i do split utc 70den pretty often. I prefer dubbing loop with it because its stronger.... If i use GSP i can do split thread.. I use split thread with UTC if i use less material in the split thread.... In thag case less twists i need to secure materials. If i use thin (18/0) GSP i can do both. But dubbing loop is preferable. Not easy to split thin threads. Does this answer your question? I am asking because i am not sure i correctly understood first part of your question. Cheers Vladimir
