Thanks for helping me learn how to tye flies wet, dry, and nymph. I got a kit for Christmas and didn't know what to do with it. Then I started watching and studying how to tye flies now. I enjoy it and at last tye a fly everyday now.
hey i tied my first royal wulff today and i doesn't look like yours but..... it is indeed a start.
Your videos are the best I have ever seen. Not only are you a superb tyer, but an excellent instructor as well. Even old dogs like me can learn new tricks from your "tips". Keep up the great work and thanks.
Great video! Love how everything is so clear, easy to see.
Many thanks! I like the non-conventional method you show here. It worked well for me.
That is a pretty sharp way to ensure even segments o the abdomen, kudos
Det är bästa som man kan kolla på. / Najbolje sto čovjek može gledati.
Fantastic instructions on a great fly to fish in the summer.
It's a bottle with a long narrow tube that's made by Wapsi. You can see it clearly at the end of the "PFD Rusty Spinner" video. They work great. I usually use clear Sally Hansen Hard as Nails and will stay in the bottle without thickening or drying out for a very long time.
Ahh!! My favorite dry and favorite to tie.
an artist, truly fantastic art and video presentation.
I've always thought calf's tail and kip tail were one in the same but I'm not positive of that. Certainly give whatever you have a try.
Best dry fly EVER!
What a beautiful fly!
Great question! If you go to the video called Beadhead Soft Hackle Pheasant on this channel and use the peacock herl technique employed there, you can use just one herl. Getting the stem side of the herl oriented correctly can be a pain, but once you get the hang of it, it's worth it.
I love the video. I especially like the idea of tying in the red thread after you have completely laid down the hurl. However, it would seem to make more sense to tie in the red thread over the hurl before placing the hackle. This way you are not getting the hackle tangled in when you're trying to tie off the red thread. What do you think?
Fleming Richard doubt the hackle causes that much trouble when whip finishing
just want to say this is beautiful. thank you for putting it up=] i fish and want to tie my own flies. if i need help i will be watching your videos
Thanks for the great video 🐟
Yeah, i love the way you record it ! :) nice video for beginners
Another great video!
It's not easy! My best advice is make very tight thread wraps but also really squeeze/pinch hard with your left (non thread) hand while you're doing it.
I only ever watch two fly tiers and you are one of the two you are my second favourite your videos are great but my favourite is Davie mcphail he is a great tier and a fellow Scotsman keep up the great video
and I could listen to him all day too cheers!!
Good tips - Thanks
Nice tie!
Damn i feel like an idiot now haha. I always used to tie it this way Herl>floss>herl. But just tying the floss over the peacock body makes this fly way, way easier to tie.
My apologies! I assumed you were finished when you hackled the fly and I didn't see you tie in the red band. That is why I was confused as to the name. I've never heard of a Coachman Wulff either but chose that name in reference to the original Coachman. Actually, I have been searching for this video because I do like the way you add the red floss better than the traditional method. D'oh!! Sorry again for my confusion. I like your videos and have tied up some patterns that I've never seen before.
One Handsome Fly.
Great tie. I am wondering your thoughts on adding a copper wire looping up the body like a candy cane- I have a version of that which works particularly well for me.
Thanks!
That's always been the traditional tie that was taught to me.

I'm new to fly tying so this may seem a little odd question but it looks like the tread you are using is more like floss than the threads I am familiar with. It there a flatter type of thread?
***** all utc threads are somewhat flossy. if you want thread that isn't so flossy and is more "round" you can look at mono thread or uni thread. i personally like utc better because it makes a more uniform body and is stronger but use what you like.
Great video, and tho the question has been asked already, but I saw no response, What is the tool you use for a hackle pliers? I used to have one! But never knew what it was for.
The hackle pliers is a Mini Test Clip adapter from Radio Shack.

Hello. Excellent video as always. What tool do you use to apply varnish?
Many thanks
David
Can you use polypropylene yarn instead of calf hair?
Scott Schmitt yes
No
hi i was just wondering if you could also use kip tail instead of calfs body hair or tail
thanks! very helpful!
You certainly could, especially with the Royal Wulff. We usually don't show rotary tying because many people don't have rotary vises.
Nice, but why is the title and the first fly shown a Royal Wulff but you tie a Coachman Wulff instead? Is that what you mean when you say you tie it a little differently?
It is in fact a Royal Wulff which technically is an abbreviation of a Royal Coachman Wulff. I've never heard anyone refer to it as a Coachman Wulff. I tie it differently than most because of the way I add the red floss, a remnant from when I was first learning to tie, but the technique works for me.

What is that tool being used to wrap the herl?
Cat hair? Where are you pulling the hair from, I have a Himalayan with long hair.Her tummy is white, is this where you get it from?
Brian Barrey not cat hair cow hair
He said calf hair😂

Trout hammer
What brown feather was that????

Why do you insist on using this insanely thick and flat thread. You would be much better of using sth like Uni 8/0 or even sth smaller. The thickness not only affects the bulk of the fly but whats even more when the thread is flat the grip of the thread is much much less prominent, in other words small and round thread as opposed to big and flat binds down materials A LOT better
+Kamil Ponikowski Kamil, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I do not agree with you.
+tightlinevideo About the bulk aspect, there is nothing to argue about, the thicker the thread the bigger the bulk, but ok if you are a skilled tier you can get around that problem and tie non-bulky flies even with a thick thread. About the grip, the issue is simple, big and flat threads dont bite into the material ( moose body hair is a perfect example) and slide over it, while slim and round threads do bite into the material and do not slide over it. Slim and round threads are also much more precise, for example in a situation when you have to catch and tie off some materials on the head of a lets say size 18 fly
Its nice. I have been tying flies for 43 years. When did we drift away from a proportion standard. I see alot where flies are tied one or two sizes bigger than the hook size. Or the hackle is not in ratio with the tail length. No doubt this fly will catch trout. What im saying is we need a base of reference.
This makes me want to go fishing!
how many peacock herls do you use on smaller sizes like a 16 an 18? trout like em small where i live.
This is not the traditional way to tie this fly but it actually makes sense and I'm going to try it.
Caught my first trout on a royal wulff. Going to tie some up. So thanks for he video
Why not use the rotary vise for it's intended purpose?
Your videos are the best and taught me soooo much.
thank you for sharing...👍👍👍
They're jealous.
absolutely great!
one like two comment to you...👍👍👍
Excellent close ups
Great video thanks, what do you use to apply the head cement
