Love your tying - you are so detailed and patient and precise - also, love your tying music! Thanks for the great video

[@dantejaiudijr2610]

You're meticulous about your creation and the finished fly is terrific. Enjoyed your presentation. 🧐👍

[@rubenmartinflies]

Thanks

[@Snookman7]

I hope people stop complaining about the cost of hand tied flies after seeing the amount of time and skill it takes to create one. Great job sir!

[@rubenmartinflies]

Thanks a lot my friend, some flies take more time than others, but if you want to tie a good imitation for trouts that used to reject most of the flies you have to go to a better imitation like this one and trust me many times this do all the job. Best regards

[@bruceevans9664]

Thank you your work is inspiring. Your choice of music is excellent, on some videos I have to mute the distracting obtrusive music. Yours is truly background music. I was stunned that someone actually tried to give you advice on how to tie a better fly. I had to laugh.

[@rubenmartinflies]

Lol. Thanks my friend. Best regards!!

[@hvidgrafisk2134]

[@michaelpalmer7641]

Once again Ruben, I am indebted to you for instructing me in the fine art of fly tying. This was a great lesson. I am still learning the art of spinning and watching you do the body on this fly was informative. Thank you sir.

[@jolllyroger1]

I made my own fly vise from a pair of forceps with a 3 inch screw soldered to one handle.... Screw it into a log in the bank.... Actually works better than any vise I have bought.... Bring a few tools and things and tie on the bank what ever it is they are eating... I use natural material found on the side of the creek..... Seem to catch way more this way.... I use bark grass weeds pine needles and always find exactly what I need to match the bugs there.... Never had to buy any of the expensive stuff that fishermen bite on in the shops.... Made all my own custom tools when I was a kid because I couldn't afford the fly shop stuff and these days it's easy worse the costs... Now I have a 450 dollar Powell fly shop carbon rod and custom self made reel.... Also have rods I made myself from bamboo or other stuff..... Expensive stuff does not catch more fish... The only thing I do buy that is important is mustad hooks and a nice sharpening stone..... And now that I'm old and need glasses a good magnetic hook threading tool..... My favorite fishing is fly fishing then cast net then bobber and beer lol

[@rubenmartinflies]

Great-looking pattern. Can't wait to try it on our warm water species down here. Also, killer choice for the music. So tired of all the garage band stuff on KZbin.

[@docandry77]

South Louisiana. Warm water includes bass, sunfish (bream) crappie. Salt water (inside marsh fishing) includes redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and flounder,

Good night. Can you please indicate the name of the tool that holds the hook?

[@rubenmartinflies]

Peak Fly tying rotary vise

[@DavidGarcia-sx8th]

What is that machine called...the one grasping the hook...and also the machine that has the fishing wire...????

[@rubenmartinflies]

Hi David, Fly tying vise

[@DavidGarcia-sx8th]

DAMBBB that is nice...im really thinking about getting into that...looks very nice..

[@Goochigoop]

What kind of fish does this catch? Fly looks too large…

[@rubenmartinflies]

We use it to catch trout here in Patagonia Argentina. Regards

[@theklamps9305]

Would this fly actually survive more then one fish biting it...?

[@rubenmartinflies]

Yes, buddy it will survive, we use it a lot here on Patagonia Argentina in lakes, we have very selective trouts and when they sims not to strike with any fly we use imitations like this one and if the fly brake after one or two catch its ok because the fly made his purpose. Best regards

Will it float?

[@mightyjake1]

Instead of using those tubes to build up the sides of the body you could take lead wrap and rap it around that area and smash it down with pliers. That way you have added some weight and made a nice body 👍

[@ricardoaguilar4582]

Exelente gusto por la música 🎵🎼🎵🎼

[@bogaugon]

jaja me ganaron de mano con lo de la manicura! Muy buena ninfa, además aguantadora de varios mordiscones, se la ve fuerte. Hace años me enseñaste a atar una que andaba muy bien, pero esta se ve mucho más simple y realista. Qué usas, cemento teñido o esmalte de uñas? en la mosca digo... con el que le das color en las patas y el lomo?

[@rubenmartinflies]

Hola Gustavo, muchas gracias, es una laca translucida artistica. Abrazo!

excelente trabajo artesanal , enhorabuena Ruben.saludos

[@rubenmartinflies]

Muchas gracias. Saludos

[@mikelundrigan2285]

If you used brown raffia or other color of your choice as the top covering over the dubbed body, it could be even better. Also if you used 2 or 3 wraps of a partridge / grouse / ptarmigan body feather etc. and trimmed out the excess with sizzors it could be faster and easier for your legs. Excellent concepts and very good fly. I fish in Newfoundland for Brooke's and often find them full of dragon fly nymphs....this surely will catch them!

[@rubenmartinflies]

Thanks mike. Kind regards. Ruben

[@sheilaemes51]

ptarmigan in winter is white so there

[@snappingbear]

I like thin skin for thoraxes because it comes in many thicknesses and can be colored with permanent marker pens. It also looks more authentic and is more durable than something like raffia.

[@snappingbear]

Sheila Emes white ptarmigan would be excellent if it could be colored with permanent marker pen or lacquer paint.

[@rubenmartinflies]

Hi my friend i love to tie as much as i love fishing so is not a big deal for me loosing some flies, and here on patagonia Argentina we have very big wild trouts and sometimes they get very selectives and the only way to fish them it to have some flies like this, and when i catch some really selective trouts i forget about of the flies ive lost in the way.

Yes you have to add weigth so the fly works reversed, if not you will only have a fly tied upside down. Best regards
