I was fortunate enough to meet AK and Tie Flies with him one afternoon. He showed us some of the tricks he used to tie patterns a bit faster and to be more attractive. He is the kind of person I would like to be as I age through fly tying.
I feel like I'm watching an artist. This fly, as simple of a tie as it may seem, is so lifelike and so wonderfully tied. I sure appreciated this video.
Great fly. Can I get onto another subject? With all the dubbing you have collected, how and what do you use to store and organize it in? My plastic bin turns into a jumbled pile.
Funny. I've never seen this video and I just happened to tie the exact fly pattern, But with brown hackle and grizzly hackle for the wing. Can't wait to swing it.
