[@Peterblack12]

I used to be big into this as a teenager. My dad used to fly fish. I used to make lures for him and got very good at it. I started making him lures, then making them for his friends. I didn't even fly fish, I just made the lures according to old recipes and sold them to old white guys. It was good money some guys would pay 200-500 dollars for some tied up feathers on a hook. The rarer the feathers the more money they pay for the lures. I use to buy rare feathers off e-bay for 10-20 dollars per feather and make lures according to these old English men's recipe from 200 years ago or something long ago and sell it. One summer I went on a 3 week vacation motorbiking through the pacific northwest at age 19 with four friends. It was the trip of a lifetime. Well, we went trout fishing near Reno Nevada area and in those mountains around there. I didn't have my lures. Out of frustration or whatever I tied up a werthers original toffee wrapper as the thorax and a tightly hershey bar wrapper as the body. And basically dried out grass as the wing and tail. I cast it and caught something immediately, then again and again. Other fisherman started coming over. Then I wondered if this would work. I took the hook, and stuck a werthers original toffee wrapper over it and tied it up and cast.....i continued to pull fish in. Others caught as much fish as me, but they didn't have candy wrapper lures. That's when i realized it's all Bullshift.

[@MaxMustermann-tq3lu]

500bucks? broooo .... and i thought skins were a waste of money... holy fuck! when was that? pls adjust for inflation, i want to laugh harder

[@Peterblack12]

@MaxMustermann-tq3lu Man, it's actually more ridiculous than you can imagine. As I said earlier, you could basically tie up a peppermint wrapper to your hook and throw it out, and catch a fish right away so the whole point of tying a lure is useless. In all honesty, it's probably only about 3 or four that I sold at a $500 price point. In order to justify those prices, the expenses have to be very close to that. For example, the feathers online, as I stated earlier, I had to buy the feathers. They will range from 20 to $30, all the way up to a hundred dollars for a single feather. I would have to buy a special colored line, a special colored, special kind of paint. Sometimes, the lures of that caliber took days to finish. This lure here in the video would be considered trash. On top of all that, one mistake and you would lose a ton of money. But these guys were millionaires buying them anyway. Roger Ailes bought some from my dad, and a friend of T Boone Pickens bought some.

[@TheKyleBrah]

First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice. Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it. Then you cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way. The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with the Holy Grail of Flies

[@michaelshaw8370]

One of the key points that for me massively adds to the appeal of patterns like this. The partridge at the head as the throat hackle gives so much more movement and life. When I personally produce these type of pattern for my personal use be they with or without a bead. I always add partridge or cdc fibres as a false hackle. If turkey is in short supply you can use duck slips doubled over or pheasant tail but add a coat of resin to improve durability. Or a clear tough plastic film to protect those more delicate fibres.

As someone who extensively researched dragonflies, that doesn't really resemble a dragonfly, as they have no Tufts, a long thin body, four wings, and their head is thinner than the bead he started with. Unless your talking about a larger species of dragonfly, in which case the lure is too short to resemble a dragonfly.

My dad got into fly fishing a few years back and he learned how to make flies himself with all the supplies. I’ve never taken any interest but he did show me few that he did. I’ve never searched for these videos but somehow this short came unexpectedly. My dad passed away (sudden death) exactly 10 days ago, and all his flies stuff are all I see in his home office.

[@Pray4Mojo1]

Sorry for your loss. The only family I had that fished was my mom's side, and I never met them. And my dad, well, he didn't do nothing really with me growing up unless he was interested in it himself, and the only person on his side was a weekend warrior fly fisher, my aunt. I always loved fishing and was fascinated with it. At age 12, I started fishing by myself, biking around the local river. I ended up getting bullied and had no friends, so I would take the bus after school to the downtown library and read fishing books. Knots, fly tying, bass lures, techniques, everything fishing related. That year I got a used fly rod for Christmas. I taught myself on the side of our apartment building green space how to cast. I never really caught much back then, but it was so much fun and good times. I ended up teaching myself how to tie flies, like your dad. All by reading books, and just tying my own patterns. I still have a few full fly boxes. I haven't had the money to fork over to get a new rod, mine broke in 2007 and I haven't fly fished since. But man, do I adore my flies that I taught myself how to tie! I hope your dad was proud to learn that knowledge too. It took me many years to learn fly fishing. Even though I don't do it anymore, it brings a smile to my face knowing when I get a new rod, I can put that knowledge to use again. I still have my very first vice in the closet! I hope you kept his hand tied flies, I know if I had a kid, I'd want them to be kept in the family.
