This has been my reference video for biot body flys for awhile. Your instruction combined with your camera work makes the techniques illustrated here very easy to follow. I also use this 'pattern' for a paraloop version or hackle stacker if you prefer. Thanks Charlie
Charlie the ease you demonstrate in tying these incredibly precise flies is nothing short of amazing. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. Great tips on splitting the tails.
The badger hackle is a nice touch. I've been working on a mayfly pattern lately and one of the things I dislike about it is having the white grizzly stem around the thorax. Maybe I'll grab the magic marker on the next one.
Charlie, I've been tying for 30 years, since I was 24. I am not without tying skill, but you have überskills... Keep the clear demonstrations coming, I enjoy your videos and learn much from your frequent "hot tips". As I read you are right-handed, did you start out using the bobbin with your right-hand and then switched to left for bobbin-use in order to speed tie commercially, keeping the scissors in your right-hand?
I wish I was that smart! My first vise had a wing nut to tighten the jaws and it was on the near side when facing left so that’s how I thought you were supposed to do it. In hindsight, it’s a better way!
That biot is certainly easier to use than having to soak quill in hair rinse like I learned years ago from Del Mazza, the great fly tyer from Utica, NY.
Must be nice to catch SOOOOOOooooo many fish you can be picky about whether the fly is ugly or not... Love it. By the way, I will happily catch fish on ugly flies. haha
Ya know, you can pinch the barb after you tie the fly, right? I pinch them after I tie the fly on my tippet. It’s just how I’ve always done it. But thanks for that…feel better?
Someone attempted to correct you! Are you serious! I always love watching your videos. You take the time to explain everything you're doing and I appreciate that. I've really learned alot from your videos.
What a beautiful fly!! Definitely one of the prettiest I have ever seen!

Who wants to catch fish on ugly flies? Exactly...if you tie, tie with style. Nice instruction Charlie. Thanks.

Nice fly. Nice tie. Thanks for another one Charlie. Keep safe and keep keeping us sane.
Love these videos. Just fantastic demonstrations!
Really excellent I;ve often tought aboit adding some hackle to improve these flies. :-)
I really enjoyed your excellent video with all the tips and explanations. Thanks from down-under in NZ.
Love this Rusty spinner. I used to think it was named for Rusty Gates in Michigan.
Great video and pattern thanks for sharing
Nice one Charlie! Thanks for posting!
Great fly and you are truly a talented innovative tyer.

Great tie. Mad skills. You referenced the RS2 ? I’m a Newer fly Tyer.
charlie any particular brand of goose biots that you use that looks killer thanks
David B Davis these are wild Canada goose biots that I dyed. Not commercially available these days.
@@CharliesFlyBox
You should do a video on how to dye the feathers
Sweet!
I wish it was that easy.
What vise do you use?
Mirjana Gacanich Dyna-king pro
@@CharliesFlyBox Thank you!
Barbs on the hook??? Bad, bad, bad…

Palmering is a specific term for a specific job, like winding a hackle, terms best used for their own job. Nice fly though.
Simon Smith what point are you making here?
