Probably the best tutorial I’ve seen to date. From the explanation of materials to the actual tying of the fly, spot on! Thank you!

[@venturesflyco]

Glad it helped! Thanks so much for the feedback. More tutorials in the works!

[@micahdean1856]

I have never been able to successfully tie this fly until I watched this tutorial!!! You made it look easy!!

[@venturesflyco]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@ronowen6324]

Just sat down and tied about a dozen of these flies. #16 hooks!! Being a newby, I found your instructions spot on. My fingers actually could manage it when tying down the Elk Hair. These babies look pretty good! Thanks for making me look good.

[@venturesflyco]

😂 Glad you found it helpful. Way to put in the work! 👍🏽

[@ryantherock7664]

You guys make the best tying videos

[@venturesflyco]

Very kind of you and glad you’re enjoying them. We’ve got a bunch more in the works as we speak. Stay tuned!

[@CBL138]

A lot of tutorials don’t tell you how much of elk hair to use….thanks for providing a general amount needed.

[@venturesflyco]

For sure! Glad you found it helpful.

[@CBL138]

@@venturesflyco you guys have a great channel. Keep them coming.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Looks simple to tie, but it's a tricky fly. Well done

[@venturesflyco]

Agreed! That elk hair sometimes. 🙄🙄🙄 haha

[@daverichards6557]

Hi I really like the way you tie this pattern. Also enjoy you and Spence on the podcast, serious tips and advice with a little humour to keep things light! “Like Diet Coke, which is light and sweet like a beautiful dry fly!”😉

[@venturesflyco]

hahaha love this! But you mean Coke Zero right?!

[@daverichards6557]

@@venturesflyco of course I do!! (I got that wrong didn’t I 😂)

[@berkler1422]

Good stuff. I struggle with getting the hairs just right with this pattern. Makes me want to try out these new tips tonight to see if I can now get them just right. Thanks Ventures.

[@venturesflyco]

[@billwarganich1875]

Great video on the elk hair caddis 👍

[@BP-1988]

I also struggle tying this fly. I've found that I try to use too much hair and tie it too close to the eye of the hook. Hope this helps others.

[@sdspearo]

Great instruction! How the heck do you not have at least 10X of your current subscribers?

[@venturesflyco]

😂 Just started a few months ago. We’ll get there. 😎🤙🏽

[@SM-dv6wi]

Question, is this a dry or wet fly? I am a rookie so I am assuming the wire would make the fly heavier and sink ?

[@venturesflyco]

This is a dry fly. Yes the wire is a bit confusing, but it’s really small. The buoyancy of the hackle, dubbing, and adding floatant greatly overpower the weight of the wire. Floats really well!

[@natew5005]

Hi i was wondering when i snip off excess hackel should I keep the excess?

[@venturesflyco]

Yup! Definitely. You can use that same hackle strand for multiple flies. 😎🤙🏽

[@kws74]

so after i cut the major excess of elk hair off. is there any use fore the left over?

[@lawrencepetrowicz7785]

what vise do you use?
