I like all your vids, Kelly. You're an accomplished tier and great instructor. But, this one pulled me back, gosh, 50 years. I grew up in northern Wisconsin and, as a very young lad, learned from a very old man: Hornberg, Cahill, Henry's Fork, Royal Coachman, and, yes, this. I can still remember Rich, with a pipe in his mouth and a glass of whiskey on the tying table, "keep the thread tight like you have a fish on." Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I haven't tied one of these in a long time and it makes me wonder why. There's layers of lessons for young and old alike. Thanks.
Well hell that was probably the same time I was tying these, just across the pond from you you in Mi. Glad to stir a good memory. KG
I’ll add that I’m a beginner fly tying ..but 57 years old. Fished for 40+ years, but Fly tying and fishing has opened a whole new world! Ive hardly used any other rod since. Thanks for helping me learn 🙂
Gotta say it. I love this guy. I never comment on Yootoob videos but this one is just so good I can't resist.
I can totally identify, Kelly. First streamer I ever fished was the Muddler my dad tied on my leader when I
was about ten, in 1963. From then on I became a streamer lover, and it's still my favorite way to fish.
And hair wing streamers were my go-to flies for decades, and still are. Including squirrel tail and bucktail
streamers. I'm definitely old school so this new video of yours is greatly appreciated, especially the tips on smooth bodies and tying in hair. Three cheers for Kelly G.
I remember taking Helen Shaw's book out from the library, to start learning how to tie flies. It has been a long way from Helen Shaw to videos. Thank you, I really enjoy watching your videos.
Squirrel hair cut at 45 degree angle... THAT is a great tying tip ! Thanks for posting.
Another great instructive video. Thank you Kelly for sharing your background and knowledge.
Hi Kelly I enjoyed your presentation at LL Beans in Maine and it was great to talk with you Thanks Mark
Love hair wings, love squirrel, love your background and history stories. Thanks for your excellent tutorials.
I’ve been on a classic streamer kick (feather wings and hair wings) and this I shall tie tonight. Good stuff as always Kelly. I’ve learned a ton from watching your videos.
I tied up something similar just because I had squirrel tail laying around, and sure enough it caught fish. Fun to use the "old" patterns and still have success.
I'm not sure how many times I've watched this vid. Perhaps because I was a kid in the 60's growing up where the U.P., Wisconsin, and Lake Superior meet. There, this pattern--exactly--was ubiquitous. Also, close cousin done with pine squirrel and body of gold over gold. Both were, and still are, excellent, season in and season out. This also presents great fundamentals and you do them very, very well. Make sure when you do episodes on tails that, for the sake of those from California and Colorado, you emphasize that they grow back after harvest.
Thanks so much for sharing your Professional knowledge with Great details for us beginners. I really love the way you explain it, better than any I’ve seen. I live in central Texas. Lots of squirrels. I’m going to tie some of these. I think these will work great on black bass, or any fish really.. one way to find out.. tie and fish em! I enjoy your narration and stories. I’m really glad you got your flies back and flybox your mom helped with. Thanks again! God Bless.. Fish On!🎣
I use these types of pattern for casting practice in ponds. Great for Crappie.
Great story, Kelly.
You were on the other side of the tracks, Kelly, with that fancy, French oval tinsel. I had to save stuff off the Christmas tree.
Kelly, with Spring starting up here, it would be great to see a few emerger patterns. Thanks!
Good tying👍👍👍Like✌️✌️✌️
My dad always said that a little bit of red on a trout fly never hurt.
Anything your dad said was the word to me.
Finally something to do with roadkill!
I could definitely see a guy named Johnny Lightning collecting roadkill to use for various purposes.
Is the sound really low on this vid? It is on my end.
It's low. Very hard to hear, even with head phones.
yes it's low, checked my volume 3 times. his mic must be far away.
No, he's needs to use a microphone.
Okay Kelly, how many fly boxes for your do you have with you when you fish? I carry 7. It's getting crazy...
Reese, in the boat maybe 12 to 15 bugger beast size boxes, to many. On foot I try not to do more than four, two if I can stand the separation anxiety. thanks for watching, Kelly
Wheres the video for the Salmon Fly nymph the man uses on the Madison pre-hatch, I've been on the Madison TWICE just as the hatch was starting and big nymphs I had were easily the biggest producers!
We've got that one on the list to shoot for this up coming season! We are just starting to roll back into the time where we can start filming again, so keep an eye out!!!
Why not use the shorter squirrel tail hair for smaller flys or tails, throats etc.instead?
I always try and find a use for materials, rarely discard it! I am frugal by nature and hate to waste
stuff!
Is it me yall? Or do i need some miracle ear. Or it may be my phone ,love the content but can barely hear it.
