Yvon Chouinard: Tying the Pheasant Tail & Partridge

[@castandspear]

I could just listen to Yvon in the background while I work all day. He's like the cool grandpa every kid wanted growing up. Thanks for everything you do!

Cast & Spear I’m literally doing that haha. He’s personality is very calming

Love the background on more than the fly itself, master craftsman sharing his insight and transferring his knowledge on what works for him…old school on just how to be a regular guy (person) no nonsense or glitzy flash…just showing you a great all round pattern that will catch fish.

I distinctly remember discovering your wonderful outdoor clothing back in the 70’s. Very light , the most comfortable. It changed the joy of life for me. Up the elevations full pack and gear sweating like wet, remove a layer or two, shake vigorously back to dry in moments. The very best gear hands down. Yes, I love your fine video

Love the simplicity of this tying. Looks like a catcher so I will give it a try.Thanks from down-under in NZ.

bit of advice to all fly tyers, watch videos, you can always learn, Thank you Yvon, for your no bull approach, great book by the way!

[@paulbugeja5425]

I was watching an interview of Yvon on "Ireland on the Fly" where he discussed a pheasant tail and partridge fly tying book he is working on and was wondering when it will be available as well as will Yvon be doing a book signing tour as I would love to meet him. In the process of trying to find out more about his book I discovered this nice pattern that I will tie up tonight for some landlocked salmon fishing tomorrow.

Love hand whip finish! The more you know the less you need

Great fly, great video! Can't wait to try the method of tying the thorax last. Cool idea!

[@critStock]

BTW, I did it, and it KILLED! Fish can't stay away from it. SH PT was always a go-to fly, but this version now rules that part of of my fly box!

[@peterwormald8904]

What lovely presentation, nicely made film and what nice guy. Nice starter vice too👌🏻

[@gregsetter3913]

This is a great video. I remember reading about your climbing in National Geo when I was in my teens. A new idea for me with the thorax tied in after the hackle, I'm sold.

Wish I could fish with him. Such an icon.

[@cannibalmanimal2336]

Somebody said the more you know the less you need, and that’s what I’m working towards, just more simplicity… to me it’s the most satisfying method of fishing because it’s the simplest” -YC- I remember as a kid we would go to the lake and not have anything, we would scavenge old line & eagle claws along the bank and tie them to sticks bare hooks. Somehow we’d come out of the woods w our bags full

[@richarddvll]

awesome fly thank you for your time and wisdom sir

[@lawrencesmeen522]

Very nice tie Yvon !!

[@Aloistruebner]

great!! simply as it is...

[@uramag7]

like a boss!

[@MarcTelesha]

This catches fish. I spend a lot more on my flies and it is for my sake and not the trouts. Simple life message preached by a simple fly tying video.

[@stevestringham1095]

it's a horrible looking fly. i bet it catches the hell out of the fish. IOBO.

Did Yvon Chouinard buy furniture at Warren Buffett's garage sale?!
