[@FHNate]

Brilliant work as always, my friend! Thanks for sharing!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Nate, stay safe out there.

[@FHNate]

@@Thefeatherbender Yessir! Thank you - we're safe and healthy here. I hope you are as well!

[@Thefeatherbender]

@@FHNate All good here thanks Nate.

[@paulsangster9153]

Thanks Bender, watching this is way better than the news. Lol.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Paul, I have to agree with you...

[@keithgillogly7675]

I learned a new way to tie a muddler head. Now all mI have to do is get the courage to try it. Thanks for the video,

[@Thefeatherbender]

Get right on it Keith, just remember to clean the hair well and stack it before you start tying. You'll need two bunches of hair the same size and one a little smaller. Good luck!

[@miroslavz.2996]

Thank you Barry 👌👌👌👌🐟👈

[@Thefeatherbender]

No problem Miroslav.

[@kurzhaarguy]

Very nice variant with endless options for colors. I always have a few Muddlers in my box. This will join them.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks, kurzhaarguy.

[@davidmcleish758]

Something strangely satisfying about watching the deer hair being trimmed by a razor blade...another outstanding demonstration and superb pattern performed with great patience and meticulous precision.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi David, Thank you. Yeah is just as satisfying doing it.

[@gordonmiller4439]

Thanks, Barry!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Gordon, stay safe out there....

[@robinred1851]

As always superb tying and a super catching fly. Greetings from the Čech Republic.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Robbie, you stay safe out there my friend...

[@duderoony]

Nice pattern Barry. Thank you for another nice tie dude.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Dude.

[@cryptocrush-823]

Barry! Received the card you sent me, along with the sticker, AND fly!!! Wow! Thank you very much!!! Way more than I expected! Btw! Great video! Going to take a crack at it tomorrow. Like the razor blade holder. A lot safer than holding it with just your fingers.

[@Thefeatherbender]

GOOD! Glad they arrived. The razor blade holder is from Stonfo, not that expensive and makes shaving deer hair easy.

[@anthonycaton850]

Very nice Barry, hackle pliers look as if there a new toy

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Anthony, yes I'v had them a few weeks now, the Cottarelli hackle pliers, so far they are good!

[@duderoony]

I noticed them too. lol

[@franckmilliot4656]

Thank you

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Franck.

[@tinkmarshino]

Just and endless supply of flies Barry.. Have you done the old gut eye salmon fly yet?.. I will check out your other vid's.. my grandpa liked that one.. thanks my friend.. stay safe over there..

[@Thefeatherbender]

The old gut eyed flies are what I started tying before I even started fishing! Look after yourself...

[@tinkmarshino]

@@Thefeatherbender Will do my friend.

[@andersklasson1226]

Nice one👍

[@Thefeatherbender]

Takk Anders.

[@wenboli5349]

Awesome fly! This version doesn't have the grey squirrel tail but a few wraps of hackle. I wonder what makes it fish differently from the original muddler minnow, or do they just perform the same.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Wenbo. Good question! I don't think any fly fishes as good as the original muddler minnow... but its another version that does work, especially for sea run browns.

[@wenboli5349]

@@Thefeatherbender Thank you for the response! This version looks very nice to me. I believe it fishes well too! Really enjoy your tying.

[@dougbrien9836]

Very good as always Barry. Why the saltwater hook? Nice hackle pliers by the way.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Doug, thanks. The salt water hook is for when I am fishing sea run browns in salt water.

[@ghart91]

Very nice. Love the barred effect. I was thinking with this virus stuff I would be able to have time to type some flies. Nope, other people have my time instead!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Gary, you'll find time.

[@simonbromfield9685]

Hi can you pls list the tools that you used ?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Are you thinking about the razorblades tool ? Its from Stonfo.

[@denisgagnon141]

Hi Barry! What species of feather did you use?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Denis, its a grizzle hackle feather.

[@denisgagnon141]

OK thanks!

[@joeduca8582]

Love that grizzly in a Muddler. Is the fishing for sea run browns done mostly during low light or at night? BTW how you doing? Thanks for the good will and humorous posts on your website. Keep the faith my man. Cheers

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Joe, Thanks. No its done all year at any time of the day from the shore. But the best times are when the water starts to get a little warmer +7C and up, hight tide, full moon, south wind. If you can get all these things to fall into place at once....
