Flytying for Beginners Klinkhamer with Barry Ord Clarke

A new series of videos for those that are new to fly tying, to accompany my new book, 'fly tying for beginners' out later this year. Here I am showing techniques that may look challenging, but are totally achievable with a little patience and practice. I have slowed down the tying and explain every step in detail. If you are struggling, and have a question, post it in the comments box below, and I will try and help. Good luck!

I have a tip for you! When wrapping hackle on parachute, it is MUCH easier to get the hackle to go the way you want it to if you pull it down under the hook at a 90 degree angle to get a kink started, with the outside edge you want exposed being on top as you kink it down. I believe I learned that watching Tim Flagler a year ago

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks, I'll try that.

Thanks Barry for another beautiful tie!

[@Thefeatherbender]

My pleasure!

[@henktimmerman922]

Hello Barry, I spoke to you at the fly fair in Holland, two weeks ago. You recommended me your book for beginners. I doubted if I would do that, because I already have the techniques book. But in the end I decided to buy it. Now that I have it, I’m very happy with it. Especially the combination of the descriptions and the videos on KZbin is very effective. Thanks a lot! Henk

[@Thefeatherbender]

Excellent Henk, thank you and good luck!

[@leemowers9395]

great tie, informative, brilliant teaching of the techniques, thanks Barry.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it Lee.

[@jimflynn466]

Hello Barry thank you for another educational video, the step from the horizontal to tying the hackle on the vertical is inspirational, I’ve always struggled winding the hackle on horizontally, but no more thanks to this brilliant video. Much regards Jimf

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Jim, so pleased that it has helped!

[@fabulousrobert6607]

Nice! 👍🏼 This is The Fly!!! I really like how the horizontal hackle suspends the body underneath the water film. If you can keep the fly riding high like this one, it’s going to catch lots of great fish. And I did just that with this fly. I came into an old timers box, and I used a similar fly, and I was hooking on some great fish. I appreciate your tying expertise. Many thanks!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Robert, good luck with it.

[@tcnorthants3641]

Finally managed to tie a Klink! Only had the book a year and half and was putting that one off but then Barry says it’s a beginner pattern so thought better get on with it🤪

[@Thefeatherbender]

Excellent T, they all get easier when you know how!

[@midisax]

[@skylazart]

Hello, great instructional video! Can't wait for your new book. BTW, the link for the Mustad signature hooks in the video description is broken. Ty!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Awesome! Thank you Felipe.

[@richgrinham8684]

Hi Barry, I"m new to fly tying and wondering how I find the long slim hackles that you use? the hackle I have are all far too big and tapered to even attempt this tie. if you could do an instructional video on hackle selection from capes and packs it would be greatly appreciated.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Rich, Good to hear that you have started tying! They are saddle hackles. Unlike the cape that is from the neck and shoulders of a rooster the saddle is from the rump. As with any hackle they come in varying quality. Whiting in the US, produce the very best and are available in full saddles or economy packs. Maybe its best to start with the packs. They come in different hackle colours and they are also graded in hook size, this is important! On the top grade hackles, these can be up to 60 cm long, you can tie a dozen or more flies with one hackle, so they are not that expensive when you consider what you get out of them. Not sure where you are located but heres a link: www.amazon.com/Whiting-Farms-100s-Saddle-Hackle/dp/B0071BD3KK. GOOD LUCK!

[@mazman8343]

Your Barry about the bigger hackles better fishing fly 👍

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Maz.

[@ThatSB]

Question for you. I often hear you and others mention super fine dubbing on emergers. But would it not be more benefitial to use standard dubbing? As super fine is fairly buoyant dubbing and you want the back half of your emerger to sit in the water? I always love tying biot emergers for this reason. When using super fine I often notice the emerger wanting to sit up off kilter until the dubning eventually sinks, if it ever does

[@Thefeatherbender]

I understand where you are going with this, but I have never had that problem with it!

[@user-sr8gh1me8x]

Великолепно 👍🤝💪

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you.

[@Dr._Klopek]

Great video! Do you use floatant with klinkhammers like regular dries, or is it best to not use it since the body hangs below the surface?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks. Yes I do use floatant, when required! The key is to use the correct hook.

Left handed tiers

[@Thefeatherbender]

No POV right hand tyers!😀

[@philmepham8320]

For beginners.... hmmm. (sharp intake of breath) here goes....

[@Thefeatherbender]

Follow my lead Phil and you will get there. Good luck.

[@philmepham8320]

@@Thefeatherbender Thanks. I have complete faith in your ability to lead, I'm more concerned about a Klinkhammer being tied by a hammer thrower...
