Beautiful tying Sir and beautifully presented 👏👏

[@ianashcroft7865]

The lockdown and isolation has taught me, patience and attention to detail like yours is a fly tying virtue. Thanks for the lesson. Cheers

[@AndyAlsop48]

Love your patience and attention to detail of your dressing. An example to all, especially the young!

作り方が、カゲロウに良く表れていますね！最高の毛鉤です。

Nice way of tying the CDC in. Better than wrestling with 3 or 4 feathers in one go.

Couldn't agree more

Very interested in tying flies, I'm in Central Oregon. Appreciate the video. I shall subscribe! Keep it up! Tight lines.... Gotta hit that 1k.

That's one very nice fly verry good job

[@tracys4161]

Out here in Oregon, that would work great in a size 16 or 18 to imitate the blue winged olive mayflies. Nice work!

[@tede6784]

Even with twisting the glo-Brite, how durable can the floss be against trout teeth?

[@jsboyle3459]

nice fly

[@kenbaumback9375]

Really nice fly. Do you use any float ant on this when you fish it Thx.

Интересное решение с телом!

[@trevorluft6032]

will this pattern work on still waters? and what time of year is best to fish it please?

[@geoffjohnstonflyfishing]

It was tied for the river, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work on stillwaters.
