Nice demonstration of tying this fly . I find it interesting that you wrap your thread left handed but wrap your hackle right handed .

Is it an optical illusion or do you wind your thread in the opposite direction to every other right-handed tier on youtube? I'm curious bc I tie left-handed, and I found that I have to counter-wind corded materials like yarns and tinsels because they're all manufactured with the same twist and it looks lumpy or snaggy if I tie them the standard way (Try winding large oval tinsel the wrong way on a small hook and you'll see what I mean; I suspect it may affect both hook penetration and fly durability). Also, I have to use flat thread for dubbing - which I suppose most people do nowadays anyway.

Thanks!! Tight lines🐜🐛🕷️!!!!

Smolt A smelt is a species of another fish

👏👏👏 Nice Brent!

Interesting technique but I am not seeing any significant advantages to the standard way…tie in the tail, make the dubbing noodle, wrap and add a thorax, if desired to make your body! Then add hackle, one or more! Make your head, whip finnish and glue! No template, no rulers etc. To me your method is unnecessarily complicated! If I made the same fly, the standard way, it would be virtually the same! I make at least a dozen of the same pattern in a sitting, one after the other and probably just as fast! Newbies might find your method intimidating? Otherwise, nice fly! Have a good day!

Rather than trying to position the materials between two pieces of waxed thread, hanging from a dubbing spinner, I position my material on a single strand of sticky waxed thread, lightly spin it on the thread, with the spinner attached as weight. Then I bring up the second piece of the thread up over and parallel to the dub! I place it in position on the hook and attach the thread. The weight of the spinner mostly closes the loop as normal, spin and your noodle is done! I find this much easier than trying to position materials between two pieces of a premade loop, less tricky and much faster! Nice fly!

What an awesome tutorial! I missed the first two Gonna have to get em watched as well thsnks again for such detailed and we'll out together video

What superglue was that brother

Really enjoying these

I would wrap underneath the tail before wrapping forward to lock it down .

Great 👍

Thanks Brent. Used for #16 little stone flies. Want to thank you for the ideas on what to avoid with the feathers and the thread. Thanks very helpful.

Never seen the elevated pinch wrap before….thanks for sharing the technique

👌

Looks great!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice!!!!

This wing style is more commonly known as Wonder Wings. I like to use them for large stoneflies on hooks as large as a size 8 long dry fly hook. A Coq de Leon feather is a good choice because of the long, stiff barbules.

Great video Brent. Thanks for sharing.

Would like to see the finished fly?

Thank you Brent!

I have never seen this fly before , what book did you find this in ? Great looking fly !

Brent...who taught you this pattern? Did you read it from some book?

Man- you gotta tell us about the shoes !! I bet you are Pro Staff for those guys 😅

Could you add a bead for the head?

Could you use Krystal flash for the body?

Is it my imagination or are you wind your thread backwards coming from behind the hook??

Always surprised when I see someone tying with the thread in the “opposite “ direction. It looks so awkward, but obviously, each to his own. I do wonder though, why you don’t wind the materials in the same direction? It’s inherently more secure, i.e. tightening the thread automatically tightens the material, whereas if they’re going in opposite directions, tightening the thread will, if anything, loosen the turns of material. Not life-threatening, but it does puzzle me.

Nice tie .❤

Marvellous. It's tie we saw some fly illustrating! on You Tube:-)

Very nice indeed. Simpe and elegant. My kind of ffly. :-)

Interesting simple and quickly done

What fish does it catch?

Great easy minnow pattern.Thanks for sharing this tutorial

Dandy tie

Nice one Brent. Simplified Wood Duck Heron. I like it, thanks.

Nice one 👍

Like this pattern. Thanks for sharing.

What brand of hackle pliers are those.? They look so cool. 4:12

What number is the hook?

Quite interesting... I look forward to learning your thought process on creating flies. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Great fly!

Kootenay Lakes Nelson B.C here I come .There's a Kokanee Salmon waiting for my fly...... Till next time Brent🤠🥳🖖

I have a full Pheasant Skin + 4 different rump patches so I'll most definitely be trying this pattern out. Thanx for the pattern .Tight lines. PS. they tuck the end under the wraps at one of the end's on the card. I know it's a pain to find it.😵‍💫😋 I learned this on a Kelly Galloup tutorial for wetting my fingers. He learner it from a friend. In a sm. container (2") I put a round sponge in it " I cut it round then put some water in it and vwa-la .The good thing about it is there's a lock top to it and when I'm done I just put the lid on and move it to the side or discard the H2O . chow!

Im really glad you take the time to keep these videos as in depth as they are. Those of us that don't catch on as quick, really appreciate you.

Brent, as my winter arrives, I will be sure to watch more. THANK YOU by the way for sharing,,,,,,,

The video is way too long. Over three minutes before thread was put on the hook. Less talking. More tying.

Great tie, thank you for sharing!
