Light Cahill Dry 

Thanks for making these great instructional videos! I haven't tied for several years. This was a great refresher!

Spinning the Bobbin is a really great tip. I always have the problem with the thread jumping forward.

One of the very first dry flies I learned to tie, that and the Quill Gordon.- I learned about fly durability or lack there of in my early fly tying with the Quill Gordon.I learned that a little super glue on the sank side down of the peacock quill would make the fly much more durable and last for at least a good dozen or two of browns and Bookies vs one or two fish with out. Fly tying is much easier today than it was when I started in 1964, better tools hooks materials, Hoffman and Metz did us huge favors with the feathers we can buy today. And then there is RU-vid, you can get all kinds of good tricks and techniques to add to your bag of tricks at the vise. Rods Reels flylines and leaders and tippets, We are in a golden age.

that counter clockwise trick was so great

Very good instructional video. Good tip twisting the bobbin.

This is by far the finest presentation I have ever watched on fly tying. Congratulations!

👌💯 Grew up in Northern NJ learned to fly fish in Catskills when a teenager thru my twenties. Cahills, Hendricksons, Quill Gordon's were our go to dry flys.

My favorite instructional videos are just like this one. Information that is clear, concise and full of useful tips. This video addressed at least three concepts I've struggled with as a new fly tyer. I hope to find more of your videos. Now I have to wait patiently all day just to get to my vise to try these techniques. Thanks a million.

Thank you very much for the compliment. I'm glad you liked it.

Beautiful pattern, really enjoy tying this type of dry fly as I personally believe it is what true dry fly fishing is all about

My problem is separating the wings with X's. I've been leaving the wood duck as a parachute and allowing a closer blend with the hackle. It's been catching trout.

Love the instructional videos. What do you use to cut your thread when finished? It looks a lot smoother than using scissors.

Thank you!

Wow, you are a master of fly tying... Can I be your apprentice?

Do some fishing videos with your flys

👍

is okey to do like you just yellow

Old video but i couldnt help but laugh that there is a debate what it represents its obviously a PMD, what else has that color?
