What silk/floss do you have collected in the background there? On the racks

What is the stone you rub on the silk tag

What is that stone you use to rub the silk?

Do you think any of the Alec jackson hooks would work for this ? Any specific model ? For the hen hackle would it be best to just buy a variety pack or a small saddle/ cape portion? Would you go for the biggest size I could get for that size hook?

Can I ask what brand and type of Japanese silk you're using ? This is awesome

Do you wrap that heron in front of? Or behind the flat tinsel?

Hi Rich: I still enjoy watching your post on TH-cam. Hope things are well for you. 😊😊

What kind of body floss do you use?

Little tip for folks who fish flies w/ floss tails or veils: When it gets all matted and clumpy after catching a fish or 2, there are enzymes in your saliva that will help break down the mucins and glycoproteins in fish slime. At a distance, it may look like a pagan ritual - but I think (hope) it's backed up by science.

Danville 6/0 seems like maybe an odd choice for the head. It gives about the crudest finish of any commercial tying thread. That said, I use it almost exclusively b/c it's much more forgiving for tyers with hand-tremors and/or cheap bobbins. I have to whip finish after just about every stage of the fly for insurance. ;)

Beautiful fly. Where did you buy the amgold feathers for the wing?

Hah still getting the good tips from ya Rich

Hi, Rick. I just found your channel recently and I am quite impressed with your skill. I hope you are well and will be making more videos.

I enjoy very much your tying and learning some new interesting technics. Thank you!! Cheers!!!

Is the black thread wax you use Cobblers wax and how do you make it into a ball? Thanks

Hello Rich, I live in Central illinois about 3 hours from Chicago IL . Ive tied low water salmon/ steelhead flies for some people and they seem to have some luck catching those species on my flies. I have some books that have salmon/ steelhead flies in them. Looks like a ton of fun and keep on tying. Have a wonderful day

true , but I like how it came out . Interesting to see how it would behave in the water

How do you store these small feathers and how are they attached to those small cards? Thanks love your videos.

In one of your videos you used a floss burnisher looked like polished stone what exactly was that? Thanks

Just saw the FB announcement from April. I will really miss your tying videos. I started into CSC’s a few months ago and they have been a huge help getting started.

Whilst Im genuinely amazed at the extraordinary skill and patience demonstrated here,certainly I couldnt match that ammount of expertise but I have to remind my self what we're trying to create. An artificial lure to tempt fish. Crudely put I know but its a fact...

I like the small head . It looks more elegant to me , and despite any other mistakes it reflects / suggests economy and efficiency

I learned a lot about spey style in general with the heron and tinsel process

I subscribed to your great channel and have been watching for hours on end learning from you. Much appreciated for the knowledge you are passing on and am glad to hear that you are doing so well after your surgery! I have a couple of quick questions if I may? What lighted magnifier are you using or recommend? I once had an older all metal one that used a small appliance incandescent light bulb that I loved and can no longer find one like that after it bought the farm. Would you also consider doing a Material Monday on Jungle Cock repairing splits and mounting. I have been having some issues with mounting them on the hook straight and at the correct angle, especially when trying to cascade a few at an increasing height, like on the Jungle Don. Thank you from the great state of Maine and keep up the good work!

I have it too......IPF....let me know if you are doing any new treatments and what is working? Not working?

Looks like Glen Grant, but there is not original tying Glen Grant!🤐Sometimes I had been talking obvious things, but it will be better if I keep the silence! Cheers, Aleksandr.😎

Great job Rich. I’ve tied a few, but w/o the herl head and the turkey for support. I need to try a few like this. Love the way you finished the head! 👍👍👍👍

Great video! I've been looking for a good burnisher and am wondering what you are using for yours? Thank you!

I think all of these methods have uses, so thanks for the demonstration Rich. I like 1&2 best as I don’t need to fight with marrying the feathers, and blended colours just look better to me for fishing. Thanks again! 👍👍👍👍

Awesome! Thanks Rich! 👍👍👍👍

Good review of shaping! 👍👍👍👍

Very helpful Rich. Thanks! 👍👍👍👍

Thanks Rich. Great instructions for mixed wings! 👍👍👍👍

Hi Rich again very beautiful . I'm still collecting materials so here is my first question . I would like to know how thick the silk gut is ? do you use different thickness ? I can order natural silkgut but it is by thickness so I thought let's ask Rich

Lots of good advice! Very helpful Rich. 👍👍👍👍

incredibly beautiful , Thank you for sharing so much knowledge . I am trying to have a go myself thanks too you except this is still out off my league lol , so I'm going to try the lady Amherst first and I have already a few questions all in good times Rich , very very beautiful

Awesome fly Rich. I like the blue background! 👍👍👍👍

Beautiful work. Inspired me to try as well.

Hello Rich, generous giveaway. I was wondering- where can one get the materials to tie classic salmon flies? (I live central US). I can’t find much online and fly shops near me don’t have much , especially in terms of hooks and jungle cock.

Thats so cool.

Excellent work and beautiful fly! (it's not the P-T recipe though).

Congratulations Mark! What an amazing prize! 👍👍👍👍

Congrats Mark!!! Generous giveaway!!!
