FSE Thread Baetis (Fast,Simple,Effective) 

Thank you! Happy it’s working for you, thanks for checking out the channel.

Been a great bug for us. Hope it works for you.

Thank you! Great tip on the brush

😂

I do prefer the profile of the English style PT over the American style. Thanks for checking out the video.

Thanks!

Merci!

New baby is keeping him trim. 😁

Many of the comp hooks are dark which can darken the thread after resin is applied. Truth be told I think TMC has the best small bug hooks when I’m tying >20. Fullingmill is about to drop a line of midge hooks that I’ve been testing and I dig them.

@@AboutTrout Thanks.

It occurred to me that I'd love to know what hook you would use to tie nymphs such as these in larger sizes (say, 12-18)? Again, many thanks.

Absolutely! The San Juan has a large baetis population.

Thank you

I didn’t know LAW made a travel vise. Thanks for sharing. Just looked it up and it’s beautiful and packs down small. Can’t find any in production anymore. A piece of art.

@@AboutTrout A piece of art indeed, i dream with one of them for sure! Sadly as he passed away there isn't any chance anymore, except for a second hand one.

Sounds perfect on my end…?

You’re lucky

For sure

Because this isn’t a pheasant tail. It’s not tied with pheasant tail.

I shoot with a macro lens in manual focus. If I bump the vise it knocks the fly out of focus.

I shoot with a macro lens in manual focus. If I bump the vise it knocks the fly out of focus and ruins the video. It’s a surprisingly sturdy video for being so light. Thanks for watching!

Just for filming. The base is light so if bump it, the fly will get knocked out of focus of my Marco lens in its manual setting. It’s a great vise for travel but my Renzetti master is what I tie on daily. It’s a great solution for travel but I wouldn’t recommend it as your daily driver.

This one had cracked pretty hard for me on the San Juan. Easy box filler, but more importantly it’s very durable.

To each their own 🤷

As someone who guided for 12+ years, quick, simple and effective is to the way to go. Tying one or two is all fine and good but when you are tying 2-3 dozen at a sitting, the time constraints change a lot.

@@austinhaacke67 absolutely agree. I skip a lot of steps with patterns and it really doesn’t seem to matter at all. Anglers tend to forget that selling flies is a business. “Bin appeal” and what trout like are sometimes the same but most times they’re not.

Fly tying is an art. If you really want to catch trout just use a piece of corn or a nightcrawler.
