Ive only been tying for about 6 or 7 months, but lately ive been getting as much fulling mill stuff as I can and ive liked all of it. Granted its just been marabou and dubbing, but theyre my favorite for both. When steelhead are running i will use spinning, centerpin and the fly, so im tying a ton of jigs and flies both and its brought me so much joy. Unfortunately i blew all of my 20s and first couple years into my 30s with addiction problems, and having started going back to school this past year im fairly broke and cant get as many materials as id like (but still probably spend too much tbh), so videos like this are helpful in that they help me decide which materials are priority. Cool pattern
Glad you're on the right path!! Fly tying and fishing in general are definitely an amazing source of enjoyment and can absolutely provide some calm and quiet for the mind. Thanks for watching and keep tying!
Great tie, Pete. Tied some just the way you directed and then did a couple substituting India Brahma hen for the CDL. Came out looking pretty buggy also.
