STF Glass Shrimp: Relaxing Fly Tying

[@tomt5176]

I gotta say, your creativity gives me inspiration to - tie to fish - and tie for eye candy. Super gluing the tiny beads to the shank is a great time saver and looks very realistic coated with UV resin. Beautiful work as always. ❤

[@shetiesflies]

Nothing makes me happier than hearing our videos sent someone to the vise to get creative. Would love to see what you tie up!

[@tomt5176]

@ I’ve been away from the bench for a while, but I’ll try something from one of your videos. Allow me a little time and I’ll have a fly worthy of showing off, and maybe fish it too.

[@victoriancuddler]

it's almost a shame to watch these to fall asleep, cause all i want is to be awake to watch the progression and the finished product

[@pamcunningham9608]

I think this is my favorite of all your ties so far! It's just so beautiful and natural looking! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@shetiesflies]

I think it might be my favorite, too!!!

[@daveporter-jm5jq]

Since I live in SW Florida thinks for the next pattern I will be tying up for Snook /redfish , beautiful pattern and I’m sure will be effective.

[@shetiesflies]

Absolutely!! Let me know how it goes! Would love to see them ☺️

[@turtlepoi]

Snook! Now that I miss about being down there. never took on on a fly rod though. Nice.

[@turtlepoi]

Swimming the flies is a great addition for me. I hadn't seen you do that B4

[@shetiesflies]

Thanks!! It’s new - they really come alive in the water!

[@wayned5872]

Definite bonefish catcher, very nice job

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you!!! Hope to try it on some bonefish one of these days!

[@goldfishwishes]

my father just passed an very old vintage fly tying set to me. I most likely wont use it but its so cool to see all the things inside that are used. I think if i remember correctly its from the mid 60's.

[@shetiesflies]

What an amazing gift!! Will you give tying a try, do you think?

[@goldfishwishes]

@@shetiesflies HOnestly im not sure. I dont really have the room at the moment and i have cats LOL im afraid they might eat the feathers. Its a really cool hobby though, it seems so relaxing. For now though, its sadly going to sit in my dresser drawer where i keep the things i dont want in the sun lol

[@abairgoodman8045]

@@goldfishwishesfind a cheap tackle box online to store your materials in. Most vices don’t take up much space anyways. I always buy materials for the recipe I’m working on so eventually you’ll have excess very relaxing and satisfying if u catch one on ur own fly

[@hot_sour]

I just discovered your channel a few days ago and WOW! This is content I didn't know I needed in my life. This fly is just incredible - your work is art!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so so much!! I felt the same way when I sat at the vise for the first time!! Welcome - I’m glad you’re here! 🥰

[@kacerss]

your art is so beautiful. i wish you whispered more, your voice is so relaxing ❤

[@shetiesflies]

Hoping to add a few whispered/ soft spoken videos to dnd catalogue soon ☺️

[@BeyerOutdoors]

I will make this, this afternoon! Wow.

[@shetiesflies]

Let me know how it goes - would love to see the finished product!!

[@woodchuck243]

Wow great job will be tying a few of these in different sizes

[@shetiesflies]

Please do and let me know how it goes!! 💙

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

I also use thinning scissors on my flies sometimes when I want to cut a taper and not have my tail, hackle, ep fibers, flash, what ever not so thick at the tail. Works very slick!!!!!

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

I have tons of tricks and hacks I could share that I've learned over the years with you

[@shetiesflies]

I appreciate each and every one!!

[@johnjwm2984]

Inredible! When you started this fly, I wondered where you were going! Nicely done!

[@shetiesflies]

It’s especially fun when the fly starts upside down!

[@marklucas588]

The most unique fly creation I’ve seen. Not much tying but very cool. Great job!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you!!! You’re right - for a tied fly, there wasn’t much thing involved, but so much fun to build ☺️

[@b2zzz-v4h]

Absolutely incredible, and I love the demo video at the end. Makes me want to try fly tying!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you and please do give it a try!! Let me know how it goes!

[@Vuhlositee]

Just too cool

[@shetiesflies]

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much!

I didn't knew that fishes needed this much artistic skills to be fooled. (coming from someone who never fished ... ever)

[@shetiesflies]

☺️ They typically don’t - I just enjoy making them with this level of detail!

[@patrikrugolo6973]

Wonderful!!

Much appreciated!! 🥰

Glad you enjoyed!

Very nice. Looks awesome.

I appreciate it!

[@ColtSievers1000]

Great fly want a steady hand for all that glue known my luck I'd have everything stuck together .

[@shetiesflies]

I've been known to drip some on my vise from time to time!

[@tomt5176]

You mean, stuck to your fingers

Fly tying has left the chat.

[@shetiesflies]

Sorry to see you go! Thank you for giving it a shot!

[@randellgribben9772]

this is probably the most impressive fly i have ever seen tied. how long did this fly take to develop?

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much!! This was a freestyle pattern, so I hadn’t tied one before this session ☺️

[@randellgribben9772]

@@shetiesflies perhaps you might want to post your videos to the ' north american fly fishing board ; i am very sure,, the folks on the board, will enjoy them

Is she meant to be berried? So nice!

[@shetiesflies]

Yes!!! Glad you like her!

[@bl00jay]

I love your videos! They are so calming and relaxing and help empty my mind to fall asleep. Would you mind showing the materials at the beginning a tad slower? Maybe it's just me but it feels a little too fast to be able to fully read the words and look at the items. Just a suggestion. Other than that, please don't change a thing! Anyways, thanks for the great content!

[@shetiesflies]

Love the suggestion!!! I’ll bring it up with my boyfriend/editor/videographer! ☺️

[@BSBombers]

If I was a fish, I would eat this.

[@shetiesflies]

High praise!! ☺️

[@kristiebarnes8573]

[@predatorking3131]

Do you think the mallard will stand up to the abuse of things like redfish, snook, and small tarpon very well? Been curious, thanks!

[@shetiesflies]

I wondered the same! Added a bit more than I thought necessary and thought some ravaging from a good eat could make them look even more organic. Eventually, though, I'm sure the mallard will fail, but there's still the bucktail and flash - I'm thinking it'll still fish :)

[@predatorking3131]

@@shetiesflies that's fair enough! Hopefully you can catch some on it one day!

What got ya into tying

[@shetiesflies]

I’ve been a fiber artist for over a decade and fishing my entire life, but I got into fly tying when my boyfriend and I started dating and I found his vise and small stash of materials in a drawer 💙 Never looked back!

[@bendrewry7008]
