Thanks for your kind words.

Thank you for your videos. I've recently started fly fishing and tying and you have been a wonderful help.

Jim....The wire would certainly help to shore up the post and replace the use of adhesives or excess thread wraps. I can also see why those who tie a great deal of these use parachute/extended body attachments on their vise...Simple is always better and the wire seems simple...Great tutorial ! Thank You

thank you for an excellent video this answered my question

Jim: I don't have trout where I live, but bluegill here tear this patten up. They LOVE it, specially when you cast it over on a bunch of them "on the beds". Chuck

Thanks Chuck, There are many mayfly hatches on lakes and ponds, I'm sure this will be a great fly for the gills.

Hey Jim, I am so happy I watched this again. I thought I was the only one that put ribbing on some of my dry flies. I like the trick to stiffen the post too. I don't need to do it but I am sure it will help someone. I may need to do it myself on a particularly difficult fly one day. I am watching a listing of your flies I have put together over the years. There are a lot of them on here. You are one of the most prolific tiers/teachers on KZread. Thanks buddy, All the best, Sean

Nice job Jim as always you make it look ez

Thanks Stan take your time and it is easy.

Awesome! I have never seen the 3 loops to tie around done before. Now I have a new toy to play with. I got it right the ....second time :~)

Practice makes perfect. Thanks for your support

Learned a lot - wing post using ultra-fine copper wire for support, securing grizzly hackle to the wing post. I will have to practice a couple of times to get it right. Also need to learn how to whip finish by hand without the tool.

It is easier by hand.

Jim, could I use deer hair for the tail and wing post to get a more buoyant fly?

I have to admit it Jim. Davie and you are by far the best but my 1st best is Joe Humphrey. Thanks to all 3 of you I have been tying new and improved flies same as all of you, But different materials and they look great. I can't afford the grizzly hackle yet but i'm right there... Thank you so much

@@TheFlymanJim . Hmmmmm. I would say at least intermediate, especially with that wire in the post. But excellent video. I will save and try that tie when my skills are a bit more refined.

Great videos but the dirty hands, bitten fingernails, and bloody hangnails up close is a bit much to view.
