Thanks Keith, glad you enjoyed the video. Tying the bead on the pin as I did creates a balanced fly that hangs horizontally under an indicator or pitches seductively when cast and stripped, like a small jig. Thanks, Phi
Have you used the same method you demonstrated of locking peacock herl in a dubbing loop to secure a feather in a dubbing loop with its stem along the length of the thread ? I have trouble keeping the feather in the loop.
Hi Philip, I haven't as I would be concerned with the filoplume/aftershaft feather flying out when spun. In order to hold the feather in place, coating the thread with tacky dubbing wax is important. Once the feather is stuck to the thread you can then carefully build the dubbing loop around the feather and spin it tight to lock it in place. In summary, using a dubbing loop as I demonstrated with peacock herl might be something worth trying. All it would take is a bit of practice. Cheers, Phil
Thanks, I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. I also use aftershaft feathers for thoraxes too, such as my Grizzly Damsel and Grizzly Sedge Pupa. Both of these flies are on my channel too. Thanks, Phil
Thanks Phil!
Loved the way you tied on the bead. Learned a new trick. Thanks

Great use of a feather often not utilized (by me at least).

Phil. What size Sequin pins do you usually use ? Thank you
Hi Al, I am not sure exactly what size they are. I get them in the stitchery section at Michael's. Either gold or silver.
Thanks, Phil
@@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Thank You
И эта муха любима рыбой? And this fly is loved by fish?
