Nice tie thanks for sharing

[@CarlettaBailey]

Wow that looks amazing

[@hardyschlegel1048]

Nice pattern , this body looks like it would be a good modification for my Mickey Finns !

[@PiscatorFlies]

Hardy, that sounds like a really cool take on a Mickey Finn. Best of luck at the vise. Cheers

[@tomthecat9780]

I'm trying to learn how to tie flies, thank you for the video.

[@PiscatorFlies]

You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for stopping in, T V. Cheers and Keep a hook in your vise!

[@shandramacniven5964]

Great tutorial! I haven't tied much for a couple years and Dad's been asking for bucktails for Christmas, so I've been looking for some simple imitators other than the Black Headed Dace to tie for him. A dozen of these should work great!

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thank you Shandra, much appreciated. I hope your Dad enjoys the bucktails. Cheers, see you in the next video.

[@TheStreamUrchin1]

Man, never knew you were tied into that bucktail site. One of my favorites

[@PiscatorFlies]

Stream Urchin, thanks! It was a fun project to put together.

[@TheTwispAngler]

This is a lot similar to what I fished in Alaska. Well only one dolly varden on it - and I gave it a whole lot of weight to fish it on the Kenai River. : )

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thanks a million, The Twisp Angler. It's great to have you stop by the channel. All the best!

[@tedperotka279]

very good think i can now tie the fly

[@kerrypitt9789]

If you read this old friend, try Haig-Browns streamers. His tend to be a bit sparse but a lot of his fishing was done in estuaries. Not sure if that makes a difference?

[@jamesvatter5729]

That's a good one, Darren.

[@brandonfobesoutdoors4108]

Love the ending scene

[@stevetrybalski3082]

Nice pattern. Already tied a few of them up.

[@PiscatorFlies]

Steve, thanks for watching. You're a quick study, I hope that pays off on the water. Keep me posted. Cheers

[@liljohnwhitetiger]

Nicely tied pattern, the head is very well proportioned, I picked up some good tips and will apply them to my bucktails in the future. Thank you

[@PiscatorFlies]

Craig, thanks for stopping in to watch and leave a comment. I have a bit of an obsession with bucktails and streamers, I'm glad that you were able to glean a couple tips. Cheers

[@kerrypitt9789]

Hey man a great fly! Great tying instructions! The tyers I like to watch are those who do narrative tying. I don't enjoy head banging music while tying with no instructions at all, or the high speed video with no instructions, just seems the lazy way through a pattern. Ray recently gifted me Gierach's new book, autographed and dedicated. It is raining hard today. I am hoping it will bring on the mushrooms, I think it will be a good reading day. I think of you often Darren, I hope you are well, please stay safe.

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thanks Kerry, I really do appreciate it. I haven't had a chance to read the newest Gierach book, but I've enjoyed at least a dozen of them over the years. Trout Bum is one that got me into fishing smaller streamers for small trout with bamboo. You stay safe too. cheers

[@timh5395]

Thumbs up, nice fly.

[@PiscatorFlies]

thanks Tim, Cheers

[@garybon.]

Nice pattern Darren. Need to put an order in for buck tail. Lots of flies I want to tie that include buck tail. Keep em coming

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thanks Gary, I have to refill my bucktail stock as well. I just got the news today that my favorite brand is no longer going to be making fly tying materials. Gotta stock up on them. :) Cheers

[@zkstudios4696]

Good job, I’ll definitely have to try making this fly

[@borsey]

Great tutorial & I've tied & fished this one with great success. Thanks for sharing!👍

[@PiscatorFlies]

James R Borsevich, thanks for sharing your experience with this pattern. I love tying and fishing bucktails, and can't wait to throw this one on the weekend. Cheers!

[@maddoxzakai2479]

I guess Im randomly asking but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.

[@casenbrixton1345]

@Maddox Zakai Instablaster :)

[@maddoxzakai2479]

@Casen Brixton Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@maddoxzakai2479]

@Casen Brixton It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out!

[@joeduca8582]

Chimo, you do an excellent job on streamers too, hair or feather wing! That has a perfect "sparseness" imho. Now i know why you thought that perch streamer I mentioned to you was too heavily dressed. Petti harped on that a lot in the GFF article. I like his writing style too, very down to earth regular kinda guy. The GLBTB he tied for 365 was beautiful also. I like these patterns with the belly below the shank rather than part of the wing. I missed the notification for this upload, different format on this device. Glad I saw it... Cheers

[@PiscatorFlies]

Chimo! That's too bad that you missed the notification. This is pretty much my ideal image of a classic bucktail. I'm always striving to match Bob's flawless ties, but, I'm always coming up a little short. It's fun to practice though and to keep trying to improve. I just posted another today as well for you to have a look at. Cheers!

[@joeduca8582]

AWESOME!

[@pjr324]

nice pattern. Always looking for patterns I can use in the ocean

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thank you pjr324, much appreciated, Cheers, see you in the next video.

[@mountaincreekfliesjimmy8386]

Awesome and I will be giving this one a tie

[@PiscatorFlies]

Mountain Creek Flies Jimmy thanks, I hope this one works well for you. Cheers

[@lymanmayhew935]

What kind of paint do you use for the eyes? Thanks😊

[@hardtomello364]

Den-e-ier is how you say it

[@TheEzzieboy]

den-yer, den-year, den-e-ear. Wgaf, right? We all get it.
