Bucktail - BULKhead Technique, Controlling Flair, and Bulkhead Fleye Design 

I’m tying flies 51 years. Never saw as good a teacher and explainer of method and Techniques. Actually makes me want to get the vice out and tie a few up. Inspiring.👍

Great video, I really like your explanation of how the two different flies have a different movement. This is the first time I've heard that.

Cant wait. I wrote up a fly tying goal list and created a syllabus for 2022. First block is the Bob Pop/Gunnar Bucktail School.

Hey Man, you have helped me step up my tying game. I really enjoy the video emphasis on techniques rather than the patterns. Keep up the good work!

More great stuff Gunnar. You never cease to amaze with with what and how you teach. Keep it coming.

Fantastic explanation of differences between Bulkhead and regular BTD. 100% the regular BTD will tend to nosedive on the pause. I think the other thing going on is all of the buoyant material behind the hook shank lets the nose of the fly tip down. Thanks for describing the remedy for this. Perfect.

Nothing but excellence! Gunnar you have certainly took it to the next level . The future you do see is social media. Albeit I love books as an older fella but it doesn't compare to the video explanations of the techniques. One good example is I watched a recent Bob closer video of his minnow pattern that I've fished since the mid 90's . I had his books as well but the recent video took the technique to a new level . Thank you bud !

I'm improving my language too while I'm watching your "lessons". I called like that because you're telling us what beneith under each move! So we can learn every details. You're like a physicist :)

Sets the benchmark for tying videos imho.

Gunnar, thank you for all the instruction

Love it, and applicable to the hair jig/conventional bass tackle guys too! Lots of possibilities with this technique!

Great info, the time you take for the reasoning of procedural steps are excellent instructional techniques.

Doing a great job instructing us. Thx Gunnar

Great as always keep the new format of videos, they are Uber helpful....#killingit

Absolutely great and helpful videos. You explain it extremely well. Thx a lot and go on like this Gunnar.

Awesome tutorials. Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Merci

These short technique videos are super helpful. I’ve watched your longer videos on the Deceiver and Bulkhead flies and these short ones really hit the significant techniques. What’s the next topic?

Hola Gunnar. Eres uno de los responsables que haya vendido mis equipos de lance y los haya cambiado por equipos de mosca para la pesca del lucio en España. Debido a la escasez de lluvias, la vegetación del fundó a proliferado y los depredadores han convertido esa vegetación en sus nuevos apostaderos de caza, de hecho los niveles de agua no varían por la escasez de lluvias y se mantienen en los bosques de algas durante todo el año, ya no descienden a profundidades más bajas para protegerse en verano y para buscar aguas más templadas en invierno las algas les protegen de todo y les dan todo, protección contra el frío y el calor y escondites para cazar y ahora entran tus moscas y tus consejos en acción. Soy montador desde hace casi 20 años pero nunca que centrado tanto mi trabajo en hacer nadar mis moscas, siempre he dejado este trabajo a las líneas dependiendo de su densidad flotantes, intermedias o hundidas, ahora con esta algas solo puedo pescar con flotantes y con moscas tipo Popovics, el padre de estos estilos y usted tiene una forma de explicar las cosas muy atrayente, a parte de gustarle lo he hace hace que el resto se interese aún no dominando el idioma, uno el traductor que proporciona RU-vid y hago lo que puedo. Jamás pensé en el provecho que se le puede sacar a una bucktail y las verdaderas partes que lo componen, yo antes cortaba y limpiaba y tiraba a la basura mucho material bueno para otras moscas ahora aprovecho más cada fibra. El problema es que en España no hay buen Bucktail. Me gustaría ponerme en contacto con usted por privado para hacer una consulta haber si me puede ayudar si quiere facilitarme un mail. Mis felicitaciones y si accede a mí petición muchas gracias de antemano. Es todo un maestro.

Check out Joe Calcavechias " Spriper Dragon" It incorporates all the techniques you mentioned.

what books would you recommend to a amateur tier? for bass flies

Hi gunnar, how would this bucktail deceiver be different from the jerk flies in previous series? The jerk flies catch water and cause it to jerk side to side on the slack, but this BTD has a head dip during the slack. Thanks in advance.
