Absolutely 🔥🔥

Pulled a piece of wool from my sweater. Wrapped it around a Gamakatsu hook. Caught more fish than the rest at spot. Weren't too happy with their fancy flies

Love it Charlie. Love the new camera. Very clear picture.

Sweet . I’ve only been in a few Green Drake hatches on the Frying pan and on the Provo . It’s such a nice change throwing a #10 fly with the fish crushing them . We still use hares ears here on the Madison and I think I will tie some like this and see what happens. As always thanks for sharing.

[@billknepp1965]

your a right handed tyer.. but I just realized you wrap in reverse of what I always have... just wondering if there's a specific reasoning beyond just personal preference?

[@CharliesFlyBox]

I’m right handed, but I tie left handed with the bobbin in my left hand. My wraps go over the top of the hook away from me just like almost everyone else’s. I tie left handed because my first vise had a wing nut on the near side when the vise was facing my left so I thought that’s how you were supposed to do it. As it turns out, there’s tons of advantages to it.

Killer pattern

Was looking for a drake nymph. Perfect timing

[@RJZS1]

Great looking bug Mr. Craven.

[@firebert010]

Kickass bug Charlie.

I luv the thought of adding the Soft - Hackle Charlie 🎉 NW Michigan Trout beware …………….. ✨🎣💫

[@AK2HI]

Lots of steps but I'm gonna tie this today and try it

[@unscarred24]

Oh boy, Charlie’s free ballin! Get this man a lozenge! Nice bug dude👍

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

Hey sir, Does the Nm of the UV light matter? I've got a cheapo very bright rechargable one from Amazon, the issue i'm having is that no matter how slowley I let the UV harden it still flakes off.

[@glennplatvoet7111]

Use flex resin if it's not working change brands might be the best thing for you

[@wcdunn]

I have been through this, it's very frustrating. The folks at my local fly shop told me it was probably the resin I was using. I was having tons of problems with the loon stuff. I started using bone dry and I haven't had any flaking since. I really like all of the solarez stuff. I hope that helps.

[@glennplatvoet7111]

Very nice thanks
