Thank you Mike.

Great tie. Sheer 14/0. I have quite a lot of reels in stock, and I like it very much. More recently I've been wooed and wowed by Semperfli 24/0 and 18/0, which is (too) bloody expensive, but amazing. For hooks smaller that #20 the 24/0 comes into its own. Downticks. I cannot imagine why or even how someone would downtick this excellent demonstration of a successful fly. Other top class tyers would not be so crass as to do such a thing. And note - they do not comment to explain their action. It suggests, 1. they're cowardly, 2. they don't know enough to explain, 3. they are stupid.

Thanks D, yeah I have grown to like Sheer and its remarkably strong for 14/0. I'v not tried the Semperfli so I can't comment... Yeah each to their own, but iTs a little disappointing when they don't comment...

Outstanding! 🤠

Thanks, Good luck with them.

Such clever usage of the CDC here. I imagine it can be used for mayfly dun patterns as well

Brilliant. I love the Sheer thread, I use it on a lot of patterns, even on some larger flies.

Hey Cariboo, thanks thats great to get a name put to it, I'v always known it as a cripple midge, but KZread have become so touchy regarding 'forbidden' words in video titles, I'm even considering not using 'nymph' anymore! If your video has any touchy words in the title like cripple YT will take it down right away, so I had to use hatching midge!

Forgot to mention I read your article in Fly Tyer magazine, also watched the video. Great job on both, waiting for your book to come to Canada.

it looks great, we'll see how long it lasts when hunting. How long will the CDC wings last after a trout attack?

Thanks, you would be surprised how robust they are!

I like the scissors - nice sharp fine tips - what brand or model are they? I'm using the Tiemco tungsten carbide razor scissors which are hard to beat but really like the shorter blades of the ones in your video.
