Hi

[@s312a22s]

This was a great beginners kit for a great price. kzbin.infoUgkxKRURvLsu9Vvyw7gIuvt8FsApoQNCdz-1 Its given us a huge variety to test out and see what works well and what we like to use. Majority of the flies have stayed together well, but some of the rainbow warriors did unravel after catching a few blue gill. All in all, this was a great kit and are so happy with the purchase and value for money.

Hi Ben, Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. You'll be doing the same thing one day. Jim

As a beginner, I have found that even I can do this, thanks Jim!!!!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks Dick, I hope all my videos can be this clear.

[@stephennolin8129]

Hey Jenn my nephew started to fly tying so I turned them onto you because that’s how I learned to answer by finding you

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad I can be of help. Jim

[@johnkendall6962]

Just moved back to central PA after being away for 20 years. I set the computer near my vise and follow step by step. Great instruction and I'm so glad you don't have useless music. It's a thrill to catch trout on flies I tied myself. My only problem is all my old fishing buddies are now to sick or crippled to fish with me.

[@TheFlymanJim]

I understand that. Being an old soul my fishing buddies have been much older. As a result I've had several pass away. Now I have two that are near my age, so hopefully we will be fishing together for some time.

[@chrisramm1]

beautiful, there is nothing more pleasing than catching a rainbow using a fly that you have made yourself.

[@markisdumbe]

thank you jim, you are an asset to humanity

[@kensmith2060]

Thanks Jim - I’m 58 and just beginning. Your video really helped me understand some very important techniques - I’d be lost without you tube! Thanks again.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Your very welcome Ken let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

[@corkcamden9878]

You are as down to Earth as you can be. Very informative and not intimidating as most fly tying tutorials are. Best Regards! Va. Cork

Thanks Jim for another great video.

[@scotsmaninthephilippines1659]

I've watched this video more than once and found it to be extremely useful especially as I'm trying to tie with greater precision than previously, now that I have more time at the vise due it lockdown cancelling my annual pilgrimage to Scotland.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks I'm glad it's helping!

[@taylorkissinger9154]

Great video. Great video. So much easier than trying to follow written instructions

[@TheFlymanJim]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hippiehens102]

Just came across this video and WOW! Great job. Very easy to follow. I'm a former fly fisherwoman..from the rivers in Alaska. Now in Texas fishing the Gulf of Mexico. INSTANT SUB! 💯 I've Got to Try This fly here! Thank you 😊

[@TheFlymanJim]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@7StringTom]

My favorite dry fly! Trout will pounce on this fly when you're not sure what to use. Nice to cast along the edges when just searching. Thanks Jim! I use them from 12. to 22. Hope you are well! TW

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks Tom I'm good hope to see you again this year!

[@larryjenkins7210]

I think that the demo was fantastic to see. Thank you sincerely Larry jenkins

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks You

[@carpediem1620]

Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate you taking time outta your day to record and post this. Totally subbed. It's really hard for me to learn things without someone right beside me supervising my hands on. But I totally did it!! All thanks to you breaking it down thoroughly and explaining as you go. You seriously made a heck of a difference to me and now I can teach my daughter how to do this. Tight hugs galore from a girl in Tn!!!!!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks for the sub! Your very welcome. I hope you browse the rest of my playlist to all the tips and tricks.

[@southernexposure123]

Sixty years ago as a teen I fly fished. Not long after beginning I started tying baits. I had few pictures to go by and didn't know what dubbing was nor how to use it right. I learned where hackle feathers came from and my parents had chickens for eggs and food. I chased down some hackle from live chickens. Those were the days. ha

[@TheFlymanJim]

Cool

[@carlodisano4064]

Great videos. Keep up the good work. I'm new to fly tying and just started. Your videos are helping a lot.

[@jamesgeist9535]

Super enjoyable. I can't believe what you created.

[@TheFlymanJim]

I only explain how to tie them this fly was created or designed many years back. It is a very effective pattern that's why it stuck around.

[@ronaldbartemy7310]

Very easy to follow great job , nice looking fly .

[@thomasleebrown3136]

I'm impressed ! This is a magnificent piece of art !

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks Tom

[@Gator_Bait_Motorsports]

Great video for beginners and those on a tight budget. Simple flies have caught me more fish than the fancy ones have. For panfish, I use a very simple mosquito fly or a skunk nymphs for wet flies and I use a green or black foam spider when they are surface feeding. I even use fur off me cats for dubbing and their whiskers for tails...LOL. Look at nature for fly patterns, Make them resemble food. Fly tying doesn't have to be expensive or complicated....just enjoy what your doing!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks for your input it is always great to get.

[@sydneyfisherm]

This video is awesome and very helpful. Starting my fly fishing journey and excited to learn more!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions, you can find me on FaceBook

I am intrigued by the aspect of "crew cutting" the hackle, I am sure this technique will enhance my fly tying immensely. Thanks. (subscribing)

Great looking fly! I just got a whip finisher and I'll attempt this fly soon!

Thanks

[@seanmooney3907]

Hi Jim, I tie my tips in much the same way but I tie them in over the eye, then go all the way back and do the tail, and body then I come back up and stand the wing up and get ready for the hackles. It works well for me. I read it in a book called the complete book of fly tying by Eric Leiser. Try it you may like it too. All the best, Sean

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks Laura, Good Luck with tying commercially. It is not an easy way to make money. Try to get patterns that are easier to make. Check out my GSS Emerger and try to get them to sell these. They are an easy pattern and very effective around the world. Just make sure you get the right GSS you want Olive not peacock. If you need anything let me know.

Sean, I don't think I have enough black deer hair, but I'll tie an orange or red. One that I have enough material for. It is a very good bass fly. It looks like a frog in the water. But the deer hair gets soaked rather quickly and it tends to sink. Floatant is a must. Jim
