Tying a Big Hole demon with Barry Ord Clarke

[@graymain]

Recently bought your flytying for beginners. Cracking little book, well illustrated and easy to follow instructions. Once i get some materials i will try making one of your easier flies.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks you James, good luck!

Thanks Danny.

That is a Alsome looking fly, it looks like a falcon in a dive catching a rabbit. I got to tie some of those. The first one of those is going on my cap. I've got to show it off. I finally go your new book. They sit on it six days before they shipped it. But, it was worth the wait. I love it !!!.. GREAT BOOK, Berry!!!... If somebody cannot understand these step by step instructions they have problem. Thanks a million Berry!!!...

I'm naming a couple of my fly boxes the, "Barry Ord Clark Collection," after all of the fantastic flies I have learned to tie from you. Thank you!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Greg, thats very flattering, just don't go and loose them, if they are found someone may send them to me!

[@gregsage1605]

@@Thefeatherbender I'll only loose them one-at-a-time... usually in trees...

[@tinkmarshino]

WEll done Barry-o.. I like that one... Why did you leave the UK for Norway? better fishing up there? Well let me know when you get those feathers and if they can be of any use to you.. carry on brother.. you have an excellent site here.

That is a very handsome fly. I have a question about the plastic tube technique though. Is the effect on the position of the hackle permanent? That is, does it have any affect on how the fly looks to the fish or is it mostly to make it look good to fellow fly tyers? Nothing wrong with the latter of course but I'm wondering if the last step is really necessary for us casual tyers. I would think that if your stripped fly in the water the hackle would lay back anyway. Thanks for all your excellent videos. I've learned a lot from watching them.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Ripig, Thanks. Yes it's permanent. It just puts the hackle in place as it should be fished, rather like giving it a perm. And as you say, it also looks a whole lot better, IMHO.

[@agustingerbaudo9885]

magniiifico!

[@TheRamonperez]

What kind of fish is this fly mainly used for

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Ramon, Trout in both fresh and salt water.

[@hankvana2149]

Nice one Barry! Think it more resembles a small minnow than a nymph and would tie it in several lengths to imitate the local forage. Will tie up a couple this morning, might use a longer and softer collar. Cheers!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Hank, good luck with it.

[@robertcarnot9015]

Have to try it here in Denmark

[@Thefeatherbender]

Meget bra sjøørret fluer Robert!

[@piotrr9334]

👏👍

[@enricodelsordo8734]

molto bella bravo

[@kerrypitt9789]

That tube method is great! I have a pile of it from my aquarium Air pumps, I will give it a try! Thanks Barry! I looked it up, wondering why it would be classified as a nymph, but there is no historical link to nymph patterns, rather the advice for fishing the pattern says it is a streamer in my books.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Kerry, yeah the tube works for many patterns and techniques.

[@Nikbaldin71]
