You are the Bob Ross of fly tying. Would love to hear you describe your process and materials while tying.

[@shetiesflies]

The highest of praise! Thank you so so much! Working on fitting some soft-spoken videos into the work flow 😊

[@rookregent5623]

This one is holy SHIT so pretty i cant believe this is for fishing. What an incredible art form. That it also has important utility boggles my mind bc of how stunning the pieces are, but it makes sense! Replicating beautiful creatures that are also the food of what you want to catch, an amazing skill. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much for watching!! I do love that this art is functional! 💙

[@BeyerOutdoors]

Very unique. I've never thought of using hackle as a bushy tail. Usually, I use marabou for tails, but that's an interesting idea.

[@DB-iu8yl]

Beyond Beautiful! Mesmerizing! ART!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the encouragement!

[@therunningman_]

Loving the push and pull slow-mo shots!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you! Love that you noticed those cinematic shots!

[@Hischild1974]

Absolutely brilliant. So colourful and fluffy.

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you! I loved the colors on this one. So fun to tie!!

[@WOMUSH]

Amazing as always! I love the colors

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much!! The colors and the zonker claws were my favorite part of this fly!

[@roz6074]

Beautiful, amazing work as always. I would love love to see more cinematic shots like you had in the beginning and end! Also, I love the wide angle but sometimes your hair or face was covering the actual tie which made it a bit distracting but overall fantastic video!!

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you!! We got a new camera and lens so I’m definitely figuring out my in-frame boundaries again. So glad you liked those cinematic shots!!

[@honeybeesandbuttercups]

i dont even fish but this was mesmerizing to watch!

[@shetiesflies]

Thanks!

[@jillianwhite5493]

I have very bad anxiety that sometimes prevents me from sleeping. I’ve been watching your videos almost every night to help me sleep. Thank you so much for making my nights more peaceful. ❤ These are beautiful pieces of art.

[@shetiesflies]

Hearing this makes it so easy to keep making more! I have anxiety as well, and I empathize!! So glad I could help in a small way. Sleep well! 😴

[@user-xy3dt3cq6c]

Love your videos 🙏💯

[@shetiesflies]

I sincerely appreciate that! Thank you so much!!!

[@odettememiko5418]

Your asmr is kind of magic i love it is rlly paceful 😌💕

[@shetiesflies]

I sincerely appreciate that. Thank you so much!

[@BSBombers]

Excellent, as always.

[@shetiesflies]

Much appreciated! 💙

[@Eric_2614]

absolutely beautiful work! love the intriguing working process, and your whisper sounds really nice, i wish could hear more.😊

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much! Working on adding some soft spoken videos to the workflow 😊

[@Duplicitousthoughtformentity]

What kind of vise do you use? Looking at all the options is rather overwhelming and the one you have seems rock solid. Your bobbin holder is also interesting compared to the ones I’ve seen - what is it? I need one yesterday, it looks like it spools the line much easier than the pinch-style bobbins I’ve been using.

[@shetiesflies]

I’m tying on a Peak vise and it’s definitely solid! No issues so far. The bobbin is a standard Rite Bobbin. I really dig the tension dial on the side!

[@Duplicitousthoughtformentity]

@@shetiesflies Thank you kindly for taking the time to reply. Your channel has been a boon in learning to tie flies and experiment with making my own patterns. I’ll be looking into those - thanks again, and cheers from South Florida. Tight lines!

[@fritz1990]

A pair of these would make a very pretty set of earrings for a special lady.

[@shetiesflies]

Agreed!!

[@goldfishwishes]

This is soooo cute but also... can you tell me what fingernail polish that is??? Lol its also very cute

[@shetiesflies]

I wish I could remember! I’ll ask next time I get my nails done!

[@svwhippoorwill3599]

Ya got me girl....... I'm hooked.....😁🤦

[@shetiesflies]

Mission accomplished!! 💙

[@lalam46]

Do you personally use the flys you make? They are so beautiful! You are really talented

[@shetiesflies]

Thank you so much! Yes, if the fly makes sense for the Tampa area we try to fish them. I’m still learning to fly fish, but I get better each time we go out! 😊

[@daniel42020]

😋

[@pamcunningham9608]

I'm curious, do you have a large stash of materials on hand like many of us who craft? *looks guilty* I would love someday to see a tour of your workspace and your supplies storage!

[@shetiesflies]

Absolutely! I considered making this exact video and may in the future. I’ve been a fiber artist for over a decade, so I have a room dedicated to all the things - spinning, knitting, weaving, sewing, felting, and now fly tying 😊

[@zagnew304]

What camera do you use???

[@shetiesflies]

Sony Alpha Series 🤣

[@sammaloo]

If I was a fish, I'd be like, "Bro we can't eat that - it's too pretty!" XD

[@shetiesflies]

🤣🤣🤣

[@knowyourjoe8826]

If you make a second “normally narrated” channel please post the name of that channel in the description of the ASMR content so I can subscribe to it please. Thanks.

[@shetiesflies]

You got it!

[@user-pw9vv6ht8q]

Тарантула, я буду всегда писать))

[@shetiesflies]

🤣🤣🤣

[@zagnew304]

I'm transfixed
