Your information regarding materials was very helpful, when I first started tying I was constantly breaking my threads, so this information helped greatly. The extra tips that you shared while tying that beautiful CADDIS pattern was really helpful, and again, your tying vide was easy to follow, thank you, MSG Leum

THE most important material is the hook. The hook accounts for about 1/2 of the total cost of the fly and its invulnerability to rust and bending open are absolutely the 2 most important qualities of a fly. Thread is my #2 material of importance. Thanks for the great videos:)

I chose thread because a bare hook isn’t a fly, but a hook with material is. I agree with your points, though. I think many of us take hook quality for granted.
@Oholisfliesandfishing Жыл бұрын
I am very close with hook there... As it was pointed out.... Without thread, nothing holds... But its just personal opinions of us all... Its the synchronised materials on the hook that make a good fly. Thanks for your comment. Tight lines 😀😀🍺

Also, you can catch a fish on a fly without thread, but you can't catch one on a fly without a hook.

@@frankwestphal4525 actually you can.... Aligator gars and needle fish get their beaks tangled in yarns... We're talking in most instances here... Not about exceptions. Majority of flies need thread as well as hook.... 😀

Inspiring as usual! Buying Semperfli threads in NZ is difficult now. It is my go-to. They evidently require large orders of big money and the old importer has stopped importing. To buy from overseas is prohibitive as the postage is 4 times the unit cost. I will have to go Veevus or UTC and your demonstration was very helpful in deciding the correct thickness. The thread relative to hook size is considered my most important consideration. Kindest regards from NZ.
@Oholisfliesandfishing Жыл бұрын
Thanks so much. Glad you liked it. Regarding semperfli, its good but as you pointed out others are good too. Veevus is great. And they have GSP as well... So no worries about the brand. Jts type of thread that matters. Cheers from China 🍻🍻😀

superglue. when i've snapped my thread, had the deer hair spin on the hook, hackle come undone and dubbing undub itself superglue comes to my rescue. The flies don't necessarily look like any kind of creature unless its one thats been stepped on, the glue dissolves in water and all the components float away until i'm left with the bare hook again. Thats why i'm watching Oholi's videos.
@Oholisfliesandfishing Жыл бұрын
What you described is a nightmare for all of us :))) There are some superglues that are water resistant. Loctite comes to mind. Glad you like my videos. I will make some videos as a series now, know your materials. And it will be all essential materials for me and hopefully for viewers. Tight lines, Vladimir

Nowadays its semperfli nanosilk in 18/0...they make it even thinner.... But i havent tried it yet. Also veevus, sheer, utc... All have great threads. Sizes from 10/0 to 18/0 Utc is 70den...as thinnest i think. It makes great body material too
