Hi. What kind of Kajaks are those?

From my view, the loop got larger as you pulled the standing end to finish it up.

Nice poper!

👍👍

I can't find these hooks in the smaller sizes! What would be a good substitute hook for these popers? Barbless ok but not mandatory.

You can't push on a rope - or a fly line - with ANY fly rod. A fly rod can only PULL a flyline.

Thank you Simon!

I may have forgotten this or it might be the first time it's been explained so succinctly .... great short video, thank-you Simon and Rio. Love the Lumilux slick cast floating lines BTW.

Seems great till I saw you have to buy 2 of them. At that cost just a little more and I can get a rod vault.

This is easy loop thx

Great Gotcha

Awesome fly and great video as always

Easy with that big line. Try with 7x tippet.

Super easy way to tie tippet on

I'm a week into my fly tying journey and I was looking to make one however the chenille I got was flimsy and not as stiff as yours. Is there different kinds of chenille?

Excellent tip!!

thank you man

I feel like I saw this already..?

Those are some beauties.

Love new flies.

Damn I was wondering if there's a problem with guides on my rod.

Can you tie some of these flies for me I'm having such a hard time trying to time myself😒

Great tie, thank you.

How much do they cost 💲 and where can you get them?

👍👍👏 Send this to me to Russia, please!

It’s also retracts $60.00 out of your pocket 😂

1st bite and those back legs are GONE!!!

Question When you apply the dubbing are you holding the tag end of the thread to keep it taut?

Wow very nice looking fly I need to do one

Caddis flies are typically thicker near the tail and taper smaller towards the head.

Suberb fella 👍👍👍👍

Moose hair makes the finest Mosquito flies (for light and dark bands on the body,, which you apparently haven't tied!! I've been a Deer and Elk hunter since 1973, but I haven't analyzed Deer, Elk, and Moose hair like you seemed to have done, and with most due respect, I don't understand how your lecture is helpful to fly tiers in any Practical Sense!! Oh Caribou hair float good, but it's Very Brittle!! Hair stacker is another waste of money, as I just use my wife's old lipstick top, and it does the same thing. And Bodkin can be made with the cork top of a wine or carbonated Juice bottle, for almost nothing.

Great channel, as always, I’ve been doing it wrong

So it will work on.051 wire

Three minutes to videotape a knot that takes 20 seconds to tie, and a marginally effective knot at that. Simpler is always better. Simple loop knot to attach a fly, double surgeons knot to attach tippet. Don’t over think it.

Recently started using thos knot for my droppers in place of the 3 turn surgeons knot. I find it easier twisting the big loop once and pinching with my thumb before feeding the tag ends through.

I use this (when I'm not being lazy) on most of my trout flies. Much prefer the loop which gives the flies a more realistic movement. This is simple and effective.

This knit is easily tied using forceps as well! Notmsure about the audible pop when it seats as my ears ain't what they used to be, but youmcand definitely feel it! Great know for old mumble fingers like mine

Thanks just needed a refresher class

Hmmm… You can throw a 2” - or slightly bigger - weighted streamer with a 7’6 4wt fiberglass rod and a 150 grains Commando head, but can you fish the streamer with such a light rod, actually control it with the rod , or are you limited to stripping the line in linearly ? And what about the fight with a decent sized (not a monster either) smallmouth on such a small rod (4wt in this instance), won’t it take ages? It’s all very well to cast a heavy fly on a light rod, but it’s just the first step in the act of actually fishing.

I NEED one!

Always amazed at your flies. If that were tied in black thread. I'd buy. Very impressive work. 11 years old doesn't rate, its classic there.

This was $170 in 2017 (when this video was recorded). In the year 2024, it now retails for $250!

Thanks for that

Do you ever find that some glue completely melts/burns the plastic legs off? Good idea with the knot!

Very nice. Size of hook please

How do you tie it to the lure?

Nice

Would be cool to see how the hook is added…it would help tube fly noobs like me 😂

Excellent instruction
