There is something very satisfying & magical about watching & tying a basic, buggy looking fly. Thank you. Is there a particular reason why you used the split-thread method of preparing the dubbing rather than making a dubbing loop, or using wax & touch-dubbing the thread?
Thanks fly tyer, I use the split thread technique only for fine and light materials, because its quicker than making a loop and using a dubbing spinner. It also not only holds the material better than just using a wax-touch-dubbing technique but it makes for a buggier dubbing result when spun.
Hey Barry, That is a very nice fly. I had bought a couple that looked close to them and they worked great. Do you think you will do a vid on the Clarke's Caddisfly featured in Fly Tyer Magazine?
Barry! How is life treating you my friend.. summer is over here and the rains have started.. I only got out to fly fish about 4 times this year between the remodel and the fires and this covid thing it has made it a busy year.. My fingers were not quiet ready for fly tying this summer so I have been doing some model building to loosen them up.. (That was a funny experience I used to be good at it) But I think this winter I will be up and ready to tie again.. I have loaned out your book to a couple of friends.. they are smitten.. Great book... People think I am really hip to fly tying now.. ;-) Well this was a great little fly and I look forward to having more time to watch your videos and learn some more good tips.. It is good to see you again my friend! carry on!
