One of the beautiful bucktail's. On May 5th 2014 Vermont's Governor Peter Shumlin signed a law bill that designated Governor Aiken bucktail streamer as the official fishing fly of the state of Vermont, as a tribute to former Governor, George D Aiken, and the states historic passion for fly fishing.

Thank you for tying a beautiful bucktail streamer. Beautifully done!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Frank.

[@straubdavid9]

Barry ... I just love the classics! Take care.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Dave.

[@duderoony]

Excellent pattern there Barry. Little bit complicated but I’ll have a go (even though my jungle cock eyes look nothing like yours! lol). Thank you for another one dude.

[@kerrypitt9789]

I watched this but never commented? How not like me! Actually I just wanted to say it is a beautiful streamer, reminds me of a Magog Smelt!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Kerry, yes one of my favorites!

[@bigboy3332]

Barry, just man to man, thank you so much for your videos, you've helped me so much , seriously, thank you my friend , you're a legend to me!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Jason, always nice to get positive feedback!

Hello Mr. Clark. Danny here again. You will have to forgive me. My wife and I have had the Covid Virus and are now just recovering from it. Wife is still in hospital but doing very good. Thank you for tying this streamer pattern. I learned another pattern I can put in my fly box that will catch Salmon and Trout. Your tutorials are great learning tools and I for one have been taught alot of valuable information from them. I have downloaded a library and your videos are among them. I sincerely hope you don't mind the download. I have purchased one of your books but never received it as of yet. Barry, I would like to see a fishing tutorial of you using your flys you tie. I know fish are finicky, but that tutorial would be a great learning tool. Thank you so much for hearing this old man talk. You are one of my favorite tyers. Have a great day.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Danny, so sorry to hear that and I hope that your wife has a speedy recovery. Thank you and I am so pleased that you are enjoying the videos and learning something from them, thats my only aim... Stay safe.

[@dannyjett7225]

@@Thefeatherbender thank you Mr Clark. Just keep us in your prayers and we will be fine. You and your family stay safe also. Will be savoring your videos, LOL. All of them true gems. Cheers my friend.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Daniel.

[@Oberangler]

Super Fliege! Funktioniert in kleinerer Variante auf Forellen!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Danke!

[@comesahorseman]

And yes, I'd rather see a slightly elongated head as well. Well tied! 😅

[@Thefeatherbender]

Certain patterns require it ... Especially long flies.

[@kellygoddard3025]

Why do you use the wax? What does that do?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Kelly, fly tyers wax is very useful for attaching difficult or slippery materials it also stops your thread from un-winding.

[@АнатолийЗайцев-я1щ]

Великолепно 👍🤝😊

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you.

[@khaliskhalis2055]

more like silver doctor

[@Thefeatherbender]

Both are possible as hair wings.

[@richardherrington2852]

That Peacock Herl would last about as long as one fish being caught ... before it would completely break off.

[@MrBrysie]

I use peacock on most of my sea trout flies and caught many on the same fly. It really does last longer than you'd think.

[@Thefeatherbender]

I promise you that it doesn't Richard, about 70% if not more, of ALL traditional bucktails have a topping of peacock herl.
