Wasn't able to finish the class due to dinner and pup. but followed here and I'll definitely be practicing this one more. Thank's for doing this Brent.
Rather than trying to position the materials between two pieces of waxed thread, hanging from a dubbing spinner, I position my material on a single strand of sticky waxed thread, lightly spin it on the thread, with the spinner attached as weight. Then I bring up the second piece of the thread up over and parallel to the dub! I place it in position on the hook and attach the thread. The weight of the spinner mostly closes the loop as normal, spin and your noodle is done! I find this much easier than trying to position materials between two pieces of a premade loop, less tricky and much faster! Nice fly!
Appreciate the feedback. This particular video is apart of a 6 week class series that was focusing on different aspects of tying and different ways to achieve things. This video happened to be week 6 of 6 where the techniques become more complex and combine techniques used throughout the first 5 weeks. But overall I don’t disagree with your premise.
Very cool concept Brent. Great video and great fly. This idea is very similar to the methods of Jim Lisenring (the inventor of the "flymph" style fly) and Pete Hidy's pre-spun flymph bodies. I think they would have loved your take on it.
Interesting technique but I am not seeing any significant advantages to the standard way…tie in the tail, make the dubbing noodle, wrap and add a thorax, if desired to make your body! Then add hackle, one or more! Make your head, whip finnish and glue! No template, no rulers etc. To me your method is unnecessarily complicated! If I made the same fly, the standard way, it would be virtually the same! I make at least a dozen of the same pattern in a sitting, one after the other and probably just as fast! Newbies might find your method intimidating? Otherwise, nice fly! Have a good day!
Yeah there’s not necessarily any advantage here other than to push relatively new fly tyers to do and try things they didn’t think they can do. The overall idea for this particular 6 week session was to shine a spotlight on how much dubbing to use with a focus on pre tapered dubbing and how to use split thread effectively. That’s really the only point of this particular video. I really appreciate the feedback.. thanks 😊

You are very welcome
