Barry, I just want to say that you are truly an inspiration, a genius fly tyer and I have learned so much from you. I find it amazing that you respond to all comments. Keep up the great work, you are truly a rock star. It was thrilling to meet you last year at the fly tying show in New Jersey.
i have watch and read every book of yours for years tyed a lot of your patterns they work every place i go larry pauley u.s.a. n.c. thank you for your great time at the vice have a great day
Nice one Barry. Sometimes a delicate pattern such as your "Easy Street" is just the ticket to induce a tug from a wily trout. Will dress a few on TMC101 (straight eye). Thanks
Holy smoke…I make the same fly except I use dimpled silver Christmas Mylar tinsel, Sally Hansen instead of super glue and peacock hurl instead of PT…as my rib. My head is also peacock hurl! I will try your version and compare the results of fishing them! Great minds think alike! Ha ha!
Hi Barry, got your excellent book. However having used mustad hooks as a wee boy 50 years ago you cannot find mustad hooks in uk except a few types spread throughout differing tackle shops. Its virtually impossible to find the hooks you show in the UK. There is no one stop shop for mustad hooks
This is a pupa, it fishes just under the surface. The heavy nymph hook is not that heavy on a # 18 hook, but it's enough to get it through the surface and sink a little.

Thank you, so pleased you are finding them helpful!
Smart tip tying two strands in case one breaks. I unwind my thread and start over. Thanks Barry!
Thanks. Just something that you learn after tying many dozens.
Tying in the second strand, as they are prone to break, is just so...."why didn't I think of that".
Nice looking fly and will be added to the box.
Thanks Marius, just something that you learn to do after tying many dozens.
Your tying style is so neat that your flies are instantly recogniseable(sp?) 👍👏

Thank you, very much appreciated!
It’s a good trick to tie twp fibers for in case of break during ribbing. Thank you✌️
No problem 👍
Thanks, Barry. That one looks like a winner.

Thanks. There are very few patterns that are new Mike, they are just variants on old ones. Do and please let me know.

Thank you. The new distributor for Europe of Mustad is 'fly fish Europe', so they should be available soon at your local fly shop!
Great news thanks for replying 👍
So Swiss Vice Master or the C&F vise … which one do you prefer?
Both are great, I can tie on both anytime!
Is this a nymph or a dry fly? If it is dry fly, why the heavy nymph hook?
Definitely not a dry fly, surprised you would ask!
