I'm putting this thread up for those of you that want to share there flies with tying instruction, photos and video's or what ever you got about your special fly. It has a sticky note on it so it won't lost and buried as time goes on. I hope that you guys will have a few to add... :)

Here's the 1st one with a tying video I just did with a very successful fly that I've used over the years. Hope your enjoy it... :santa:



Here's new tying Video I just published on 6/28/12

Rich, very nice, some great twists on the time tested clouser. I'm going to have to try a few of those. I will often use synthetic black fibers, especially if I'm into some toothy critters, they seem to hold up better than the deer hair.

Start working on the next in your series, I enjoyed it.

This is a great addition to the fly fishing topic. Thanks, guys for posting your videos. I will try to get a video together.. I also find that the toothy critters tend to ruin my deer hair flies, so I have started using synthetic materials. The flies last a lot longer.

Have you tried yak hair? I been using them in my muskie flies and doing well especially larger patterns. EP stuff is great also but I lose about 1/2" off sometime with them muskies but they are easily made though.

Nice video plus I really like how you did that black Clouser Rich. :thumbleft:

Well, I'm a super newb but there didn't seem to be a ton of activity in the thread so I figured I'd share mine. I can't claim credit for any of them but I've had fun making them.

Kudzu: Thank you for posting and waking up the thread! I like the way the Seducer and Whistler turned out. Your Bream obviously likes your fly to! Appreciate you sharing it.

Thanks, Rich! The Whistler (esp #2) is my favorite. And the hopper barely touches the water and the bluegill are on it. They hit it hard. It's a great little fly!
