#flytying #flyfishing #honeybee #satisfying #asmr
until i looked at the comments i thought you were gonna put a bee on a lil leash 😭
HA! That might have been easier than tying this fly!!
Same 😭 it took me a second to find out it was not.
The ASMR people getting their first look at fly tying!
I was pretty much the opposite, I was wondering why the microphone was so close to the vise with its gain set to 11!
Then I realized oh this is that AMSR stuff. 😂
Same, which sounds kinda cute. Imagine being like “Yeah just walking my pet bee” 🐝
Me too 😂
My grandfather taught me how to tie flies. He passed away not too long ago and seeing this reminded me of him. Thank you.
I’m so sorry for you loss but glad you have great memories with him 💙
That's a work of art. I'd be scared to fish with that in case I lost it. Stunning. Well done.
Thank you so so much!
I don't even fish, but these are some of my favorite videos to watch. So satisfying and so goood😭
I love hearing that!! Thank you for the encouragement!
I clicked on this because of the picture alone. Come to find it's going on a FLY?!? Amazing
Glad you made it here, even by accident!
Normally newer youtube channels don't have this level of quality. Your videos are extremely well made and very good.
Huge compliment! Thank you so much!!
i've never seen or heard of fly tying before, but this is really cool! it's amazing how you made a bee come together from bits of string and wire
So glad you’re here! Glad you enjoyed it! My favorite part of fly tying is creating order from chaos 😊
Wow finally someone filling the niche. I’m glad to find someone who isn’t only doing shorts or narrating in the background. I don’t fly fish but I feel like making your lure is an under appreciated art. Nice video. 🤝
I really appreciate that! We put a ton of time and effort into making these long form videos so I'm really glad you're enjoying them!
You gave it that perfect buggy look 🥰🐝
Thank you! This one was a CHALLENGE!
You have like the mythbusters blueprint writing❤
Never thought about it but that's so true! I miss Mythbusters!
Wow. That is a beautiful pattern. I loved that you are using a varying innovative technique on building the buddy. Great job!
Thank you!
Amazing 👏 You are a true artist! Your videos are good for my Soul Thank You!! 🙏😊
I love hearing that! I’m so glad you’re enjoying them!! 💙
i just randomly clicked this video, and i gotta say, the level of effort you put into your content is astounding, i saw you reply to like every comment, and every piece of feedback, and obviously this is just so impressive, this looks like piece of art, you’re an incredibly respectable content creator
Wow - thank you so much! It's not lost on me that people have a lot ways they can spend their time, and if they choose to spend it watching my content, I'm extremely grateful. The encouragement and even the constructive feedback from viewers is critical when it comes to moving this channel and my content forward. Really appreciate you being here!
This is just perfection! The painstaking attention to detail, the creativity, the videography, and soft aural atmospherics all combine so beautifully. You made two pieces of art: The fly itself and the video! 🐝 ❤ Thank you for sharing your craft.
I really appreciate that! We’re a team of two - my boyfriend is the videographer and editor and he’s absolutely brilliant. This has been such an amazing passion project for us!
Have you ever considered doing some commentary or just chatting whilst you're tying flies? When i was in highschool i used to watch a soft spoken man tie flies (i cant remember the channel but the videos were all years old on it) i yhink commentary about what has worked for you or why something works could be very interesting.
Keep up the good work! Real pretty bee.
Absolutely! Working on adding some soft spoken videos to the workflow 😊
I bet the man’s name was Norm Norlander. He as always so relaxing to watch (and super talented).
@@kimballcarr he was! Thank you so much for telling me his name. It brought me back. May he rest in peace.
The use of feathers as wings is so smart! 🐝✨
I love the feather folding process! Not something I invented, but definitely my favorite part of this fly!
Wow. That thing is as much a work of art as it is a useable fly. I could seriously see myself collecting them and I’ve never even tried to fly fish. Also your channel is what I’ve been looking for; the combination of fly tying and ASMR. Thank you!
So glad it’s right up your alley! Thanks for the encouragement! 🥰
Been tying and watching videos, for years, absolutely addictive, will say by far , one of the best fly tyers I've seen. Seriously world class. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Never stop making these videos the music is perfect the sounds are perfect!!
Wow - thank you! Plenty more on the way! I love making these :)
I don’t know anything about tying flies but holy moley your videos are so cool and relaxing 😴
Glad you’re enjoying them!
Just ran across your channel. Wow! Fly fishing and ASMR, two of my favorite things. I'd love to see a video with talking along with the tying.
Working on adding some soft-spoken videos - hope to get some in the mix here soon! Glad you're enjoying these!
I randomly saw TH-cam telling me to rate this video and I happened to be interesting so I clicked on this video and now I'm very interested in your content. Great work I love this nice little project, keep up the good work 💯
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!
kept bees and flyfish, super good as per usual!
Appreciate it!
Fell asleep watching old Norm Norlander fly tying videos and awoke to this masterpiece! New subscriber!
Amazing!! Glad you made it here from Norm! 💙
Wow!! That’s amazing 😮
Thank you so much!
I genuinely never knew this was a thing. This is super impressive! That's quite the unique talent!
Welcome to fly tying! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I truly enjoy the music and artistry
So glad you're enjoying!!
OMG, fantastic 🥹
Thanks so much!
I was introduced to fly tying interestingly enough through NBC's Hannibal, and it's honestly so nice to watch. Lovely video :))
Thank you so much! There have been many Will Graham comments 🤣
omg stop i was literally scrolling the comments about to make this EXACT one
(ps so sad about the fourth season)
@@kiwibirb13 yeah 🥲
But im delusional enough to think another rewatch will fix it :,D👍
How did i miss your channel! Excellent work on the vise👌I too tie on YT and have always appreciated those that step outside the "norm" and treat it more like art. Subscribed. Realistic is hard, well done🐝
Thanks for sharing!
Steve
Really, really appreciate that, Steve!! It’s such a great community! 💙
The feather wings are unbelievable!!!
My favorite part! The technique is called origami wings and it's so much fun!
So fuzzy! Beautiful work!!
Thanks so much!
Superb a true entomologist ...well done
Aspiring, perhaps! I do love insects and arachnids!!
This is a work of art 😮
Thank you!
What gorgeous work! You are so talented. Thank you for another amazing video 🌻
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Looove the background music- this has been my go to video for the past few days 🫶
So glad you like it!! I fell asleep to this one the other night 🤣🤣👋
So glad I stumbled upon your channel. You are extremely talented and I found this video to be very soothing. Absolutely phenomenal job
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it and found it soothing!
That's some insane talent! The 🐝 looks wonderful!
Thank you so much! He was quite the challenge!
Listening to this while the crickets that I feed my gecko scream at the top of their freaking lungs at 12:46 AM goes hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤣🤣🤣 We have a leopard gecko over here - I feel this comment 🤣
@@shetiesflies every. Night. 😭😭
I feed dubia roaches because I don’t want to deal with the annoying crickets hahaha
Crickets don't scream, they rub their legs against their wings to make noise!
@@skedizzle I know I’m making a joke about how it sounds like screaming
You are ridiculously talented!!!
Thank you!! Still so much to learn! 💙
this was super cool
WOOW! Greetings from Brazil!
Greetings! Glad you liked it!
Just stunning work
Thank you so much! ☺️
Ngl if I made something like this I couldn’t fish with it. It’s too awesome. Also the wings look so realistic it’s crazy!
Thank you!! This one isn’t overly practical, so it would take a lot for me to dunk it. 😊
Ah this is a great idea for (sleep) asmr. I have struggled for years with staying awake to certain tying videos. Haha
Perfect!! ☺️
Please never stop! Much love from the UK ❤
Lots more on the way! Thanks so much for watching!
Fantastic!
Thank you!
You have gained one more subscriber, I like fishing and I finally found a channel that makes flies and in ASMR I liked the video, greetings from Mexico
Really appreciate that - thank you so much!
Could you upload one of a grasshopper
Grasshopper is in my queue :)
I’ve never seen anything like this, it’s amazing. I also love how you gave her a little haircut 💇♀️ haha 🐝
Thank you!! It’s different, but so much fun!
You are so talented
Thanks, Toby! Lots still to learn, but I'm having a great time making these :)
Amazing!!!
Thank you, sincerely!
Awesome stuff!
Much appreciated!
I stumbled into this heaven and I don't know how to get out of it, just feel real peace
My favorite thing to hear! So glad you made it here!
YES IM EARLY!!! I love these so much you’re so awesome and talented pls NEVER STOP
Plenty more in the queue! Such amazing encouragement makes it easy to keep going 😊
Gorgeous work. 🖤💛🖤🧡💛🐝
Really appreciate that! Thank you!
My brother is truly talented
Great job once again
Always appreciate it, Jerry!
She ties bee flies
Asmr is unfortunately hard for me to watch due to some sensory issues 😅 so im glad youtube has the speed up feature because it makes it perfect for me so i can still be watching these, the process is insanely talented :) (muting also bothers me, pure silence when I know theres supposed to be noise)
I totally get it!! Glad you’re still able to enjoy on double speed!! I’m hoping to fit in no whisper versions and soft spoken versions to the work stream to accommodate more viewers with difference preferences or sensitivities 💙
I learnt about the existence of fly tying a few years back, and it's lovely to see it pop up in my recommends again after so long. Especially such beautiful and skillful work you do. I'm really curious if you fish with the pieces you make, or they're more of an ornamental kind of thing. Keep up the great work!
I’m so glad you made it here! I fish the ones that make sense for Tampa Bay, but not as after as I’d like! 😊
Why are your videos so fucking good holy shit
Thanks!!!
Freakin amazing!
Wow - thanks so much! 🥰
Awesome 👌
Thank you!! 💙
This is Art 😳🖤💛
Thank you so much 🐝 🥰
i understand this tiny work can be tedious or tiresome, but WOW did you do an incredible job w detail and visual. it looks so cool :]
Thank you so much! I enjoy tedium, sometimes!
Amazing
Thank you!!

Thats sick
Thanks! 💙
Well done boss
Keep on
Roger that! More on the way!
I would love to see this in 4K 😮
I must tie this one! I have no idea how it'll do around here, but I'm interested in finding out. Thank you for the video.
You bet!! Let me know how it goes!
I've been tying for a long time, even commercially, just to say, in the words of Linda ronstadt " you so good, lady you so good." Shortened and more respectful. Wanna learn, keep watching!
lol Thank you!
i would love to see a video of someone using this to fish
Working on that possibility! 💙
those feather wings are just the most STUNNING thing!!
also what happens to the flies after? do you use them yourself, sell them, collect them? I'm just curious lol
Some we use if they make sense for our water. A few are on loan for an art exhibit right now. Considering giving some away to followers, as well 😊
I’d love to see a show of your flies. What a fun and unique exhibit!
@@shetiesfliesо боже , я хочу такую пчелу сувенир 😢😢
Wow. That’s incredible. You don’t actually use them for fly fishing, do you? Way too pretty 💛💛
I use the ones that make sense for my area for sure! This one ended up being fairly impractical and will likely be a show piece. :)
A fantastic looking work of art. I don't know how flexible the legs are, so I can't tell if they would interfere with hookups. I see you mentioned hook-size, but what do you think about this? Thanks.
They absolutely would interfere with hookups. This one was impractical but a really fun challenge. At a minimum, I would use a more flexible material for the legs. 😊
@@shetiesflies a few years back I made a couple wooden top water lures that resembled Murder Hornets (Asian Giant Hornet). I didn't know a lot about making lures at the time (still have a lot to learn) and used stainless-steel wire to make the feelers and legs. Talk about heavy! The first one sank like a rock. I should have looked to the Fly Tying world for legs. 🙂
Ha! Live and learn, right?
@@shetiesflies So true. I even learned that jig skirt is lighter than stainless steel wire! LOL It works so well for legs too. 🤫
at no point in this video did i know what was coming next, where it came from, where did it go, WHERE DID IT COME FROMMMM cotton eye joe????
🤣🤣🤣
Wow 🐝🐝🐝
Glad you enjoyed it! 💙
I thought you actually tied houseflies and bees to a tiny microphone and had them buzz. I want my money back
🤣🤣🤣 Sorry to disappoint!
@@shetiesflies hee!
I remember seeing a documentary or something when I was about 11 - some guy would attach a housefly to a tiny balsa wood plane, and it would fly around. 😂
I never understood why these were so expensive until I watched this video.
Some patterns do take lots of time and focus!
Can you tie a vampire leach next please
Never tied one! I’ll look it up!
how did you learn to tie? i'm pretty much brand new to fishing but baitmaking has piqued my interest. got no one to show me the ropes but tying flies looks fun.
I'm self taught from books and online tutorials, but recently started working with some mentors to sharpen my skills :) The Orvis Fly Tying Guide and Barry Ord Clarke's beginner tying series are great places to start!
i love these videos! i always get them on my instagram reels and binge watch until i fall asleep sometimes lol however i notice you use gel polish with some of your ties, do you only flash cure the gel polish? i only ask because i am a licensed nail tech and uncured gel can cause some serious allergic reactions and contact dermatitis! i hope this isnt too nosy i just genuinely care for your health and wouldnt want allergic reactions to get in the way of you creating these beautiful ties and videos :)
Really appreciate that!! I cure for the full 60-90 seconds unless for some reason I want some extra tackiness for additional inclusions before sealing. That said, any advice is welcome and appreciated!
You are a master 😮 where do you learn to do this?
Thank you so much! Not master yet - still so much to learn! So far I’m self taught from books and tutorials 😊
I LOVE your nails. What product do you use?!
Thank you! It’s an SNS nail dip 😊
What brand of fingernail polish is that? And glitter suggestions please. Great work, very inspirational.
Hi Robert!! Any relation to Rune Westphal? So glad you liked the videos! Both the nail polish and some chrome nail powder are in this list (it’s a list for Alphlexo crab supplies, but same stuff): www.amazon.com/shop/shetiesflies/list/NP92DJNV9ANF?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfshetiesflies_8PH5P46TNJMSFKCVZA4H
It took me way too long to figure out what was actually happening here 😂
🤣🤣 You’re not alone!
this is the most precious thing i’ve ever seen 🥹
🐝 💙
do u happen to have any advice for someone starting out in this hobby? this is gorgeous!
Thank you and yes! There are so many great tutorials out there to get started (may make my own one of these days) and plenty of books that can help you. If you have a local fly shop, I highly suggest you go take a look and ask questions. Find out what works for your local area of target species. Even better would be to find a mentor who can help you avoid pitfalls. I linked some Amazon lists to materials and tools that I use in the description, but I encourage you to shop local if you can. 😊 I would get a solid rotary vise if it’s within your budget - solid tools make a huge difference. Before you start working with a new material, do a quick search for tips and tricks for that material. There are so many great ones out there that can help you avoid rookie mistakes. Most of all - have fun with it!!
im so slow, i thought it said fly trying asmr
I would watch that video!
I don;t fish but this gorgeous! Do you sell them? I would love one for a decoration :)
Thank you so much! I don't sell them at the moment, but may give some away here in the future :)
😊
🥰
im ngl i thought fly tying was taking a dead fly and wrapping string around it to make it into a different bug or smth 💀 but this is way cooler
🤣🤣🤣
My brain read…
Tie flying ASMR
That would be a cool video, too!
❤
I did a realistic fly as well,took me days too! Lol!
Not for the faint of heart, to be sure! :)
❤❤❤
Тарантула....)))
🕷️
@@shetiesflies неё)) свяжите его, вы сможете, я верю в вас))
I have no idea how to guess how complicated this thing is to make since it seems so but i was wondereing how much would you pay for a piece like this
Truthfully I wouldn’t know what to sell a fly like this for. Time spent making it would make it pricey, for sure.
I mean if I was fish and got fooled by lure... Idk how I could even be mad.
This one was hyper realistic - can’t blame the fish! 🤣
