Hi Rhys, Its nice to see the little tweaks that could make a difference. I agree with oldgold on the epoxy bit. But in place of the plastic tinsel, I use clingfilm. Mess about with it, fold it, stretch it. Very versatile. Makes nice wing case. Well done.
Rhys What make are the scissors that you are using in this video, I like the look of them, appearing to be longer than the ubiquitous 4” which with large hands I find fiddly.
Great pattern Rhys. I tend to go for epoxy buzzers for deep, thread less ones shallower and sub surface I use a cool black cruncher variants and an off black seals fur spider ribbed with stretched plastic tinsel type stuff that you can get from craft stores. It's the sort that crafter's use to make Easter egg nests etc... Give it a stretch until it becomes really thin and wiry,.....not sure if it does reflect it, but looks like it under a UV light....shhhhh don't tell anyone!
Sweet little buzzer Rhys 👌
Thanks
Whip finish by hand, first time I have seen this in a long while, I rarely use a whip finish tool 👏👏👏🏴🏴

Nice Shaun. I'll give it a try on one in the future!

Janome Professional scissors :)
Want to tie some dries what are the go to dry fly hooks
Nice. Interesting using the pheasant tail to segment rather that something on top. An 1/8 inch! Surprised a man of your few years uses that term...
Not so few anymore Peter! Thanks for watching!
Great project i really enjoyed it
Have a nice day and i wish you more succes in the future
Nice tie.
Cheers Mike
Very nice fly - Cant get hold of UV tinsel at the moment - do you think pearl mylar over the purple tinsel would have the same effect?
It would make a significantly brighter fly than the original but would work just as well 👍

Nice Oldgold! amazing what you can find in craft stores or pound shops!
What vice are you using and what vice would you recommend?
I’ve only ever owned a mongoose and still use it to this day 👍
Hi Rhys, What size is the wire?? This will be my first ever fly I’ve tied!!
Small
@@RhysFishes thank you
