April great to have more woman in the sport. way to go . there's a lot of men who are just pigs. but true fly fisherman apriciate your true fly tying talents. thanks for sharing your vidios with us. happy tying and fish on. god bless
i just purchased my first rotary vice. some say you don't need all that fancy schmancy stuff. old timers i swear!!! i have an old clunker clamp style that i used for a while. you have to loosen too much to turn your fly and risk your hook falling out. i can see all around it now and do other things i couldn't do before. also, when you space your feathers like that and say it looks life like in the water really made me think about tying my own like that. thanks alot! i've watched some of your other videos too! very nice fish you landed. wish i could live at the ocean!!!!
Nice work April...& the use of a nail-clipper is a neat trick lol.. I wonder if she fishes her flies as well ? I've only ever seen two vids of lady fly-tyers . I like the expression of total concentration on her face..she looks so happy tying .
Nicely done...at a pace where each step is easily comprehended. Use of the f/nail clippers is both ergonomic and economic at the same time. Ya, I'd fish that on the Bulkley in a heartbeat. Cheers, KD Smithers, BC
Try it. I took a course with her and thought the same thing at first. I don't cut everything with it, but it does a great job cutting the feathers close to the tube.
April is truly a work of art to watch both fishing and tying. To look at her is perfection.To watch her cast a fly line is perfection. Truly any mans perfect partner. Great job April keep up the good work .
Great tying! God this girl must wonder if all fishermen are pervs, give her a break and focus on the fact she's a fine tier and angler, just because she is blessed with stunning looks doesn't mean her talents are of secondry importance.
i know this is older vid so dont know if you will see it but if you do im wondering why tie on a tube over tying right to the hook ive never really seen anyone using tube flies before
It's an intruder fly, krystal flash, craft fur / arctic fox fur, rhea (which she used) or maribou ( however cold water destroys maribou) can use ostrich as well if you are in a pinch.
Its almost like her beauty is a detriment. This woman is a phenomenal fly fisherman. Yet we all (including me) struggle to see past that. She's that beautiful.
Hi Larry! Have a look at adh-world. We listed some materials below that she used for tying: www.adh-fishing.com/adh-world/adh-fishing-tv/fly-tying-video-steelhead-fly Best regards, Ben from adh-fishing
Am I the only one who didn't notice what she was doing. LOL, PS, April. Were ever you are, please stay healthy. Very best regards to you and your family. God bless and good luck fishing.
Hi Rick! April is using a Tiemco Ceramik Bobbin: www.adh-fishing.com/fly-tying/fly-tying-tools/bobbin-holders/tiemco-straight-heavy-duty-bobbin Tight Lines, AK
I use $100.00 pair of scissors. April uses 0.59 cent nail clippers. Think about that ... your teaching skills are very precious. Best regards and God bless.
Totally confused! I am a fly fishing newbie. Just bought a fly rod and I have been practicing my fly casts in a field. Now I am trying to learn about tippets, leaders and flies. I stumbled on this video looking at types of flies to use. Forgive my ignorance, but..... I see fathers, I see fluffy stuff, I see sewing thread but I see no HOOK. How do you catch a steelhead if there is no hook? It looks like the fly is attached to some sort of steel rod
Tube fly. The tube is hollow. You put your tippet through it and then attach a hook at the back. There is a place in the back of the tube that is bigger in diameter and your "stinger" hook-eye sits inside there. A style of fly used so you can size hooks differently and also get more life out of your fly because the hook usually comes away during the fight and the fly is not left to get mangled by the fish.
Oh please marry me! Lol...ur awesome and there is nothing greater than watching talent like urs... And u love fishing!!! That's extra points...passion for fishing! Awesome! Great video:)... Hope you dont I'm not a creepo...Lol. Its just tremendously impressive:)
Can I ask you something? I don't think this question fits the fly tiers? Does head cement break down upon contact with plastic worms and lures b/c it is acrylic? Worm burn to be specific? I don't wanna to use it if it does. I am going to start tying my own trebles. Thanks.
Good thing i just scanned thru this vid...why no talking?? No explaining why shes doing what shes doin?? Useless vid, yeah great a hottie tying a fly, but if she isnt speaking other than being sorta short with the people around this demo. Like i said good thing i watched really only 4 mins...did she explain anything in the rest of it?
One of the best fly tying vids......very easy on the eye!

Indeed, a sparse yet effective steelhead intruder fly in their favorite colors too ( blue / pink ).

What flies did she tie, missed that part
Nice work April...& the use of a nail-clipper is a neat trick lol.. I wonder if she fishes her flies as well ? I've only ever seen two vids of lady fly-tyers . I like the expression of total concentration on her face..she looks so happy tying .
She pays so much attention to detail. I don't fish tubes just because of where I fish but this fly looks amazing. Awesome
I know this video has some years on it but very nice and this is the first female fly tier that I have seen .
Nicely done...at a pace where each step is easily comprehended. Use of the f/nail clippers is both ergonomic and economic at the same time. Ya, I'd fish that on the Bulkley in a heartbeat. Cheers, KD Smithers, BC
That's the coolest fly I've ever seen very cool and intricate. I love the colors :)
Congratulations ... really lovely the highly capable flies. Greetings from an old Italian rivers Wolf

This is the first fly fishing video I watched where I didn't spend the majority of time wathcing the fly being tied. Just wow, completely mesmerized.
Great tying!

Thanks for the video. Great job, April.

Very nicely done and a great video. Your a credit to the sport :)
Congrats April. First time I have seen a girl making a fly. Nice lure!
Love the looks of this fly. Would love to see a material list of the ribbons and feathers used to make this fly.

I remember when Dan bailies fly shop used to have 6-8 ppl tying in the front window of the store. I guess chiiinna put an end to that.
Very wilkinson shrimp like with the colours ?.
Does any one have any idea what type of bobbin she is using?

Mrs.Vokey,beautiful tying...i have to but you one of mine!
I just bounced around the video but I never saw her put this tube fly to a hook. I guess I missed it.

Is this supposed to represent a fingerling trout? rainbow?
I use $100.00 pair of scissors. April uses 0.59 cent nail clippers. Think about that ... your teaching skills are very precious. Best regards and God bless.
Are you planning to do any demo's in England? I know for sure you would have a better audience than Germany.

Boss technique April. Looks eeeeeasy to cast too.

Opting for perfection there (Y)
April is very well known within the fly fishing industry and is a total bad ass, all of this is known.But damn she makes fly tying sexy.
Really. Try it the next time you tie an intruder style tube fly.
Спасибо, красавица! Молодец!
I think she is one of the most beautiful women in the world.
Not a place for flirt
SUPERBE !! ;-)
Simple the hardest thing to do when on the vise.
Lol, it's a tube fly. The leader goes through the tube, and the hook goes on the end of the leader behind the fly.
Elpresador are going fishing with her.
Wow, in all my years I never associated fly tying and sexy. I like it.
Is she maried?
wow
AV♥
So this is the famous April Vokey....
Can I ask you something? I don't think this question fits the fly tiers? Does head cement break down upon contact with plastic worms and lures b/c it is acrylic? Worm burn to be specific? I don't wanna to use it if it does. I am going to start tying my own trebles. Thanks.
Shes perfect.
I prefer the squidro
I don't want to sound sexist ,,but with her smaller fingers hands and attention to detail,,nice fly tier
The fly is nice but nail cutters for material?? Really? Nail cutters?
