  • hey dave im 13 years old and i only started tying flys yesterday i find that its really hard to keep the half hithc in after im done tying it off do u have any tips plz comment back

  • i would do two or three half hitches then put some fly head cement on it to make it bomb proof

  • i find it easier with a whip finisher. you might want to try that also.

  • as long as you can get a nice knot to secure it until you get it varnished you'll be flying. that thread is goin nowhere when the varnish drys

  • I always wanted learn fly tying, I once fished the waters of Virginia, the James, New River, Roanoke River, and some smaller ones, like Craig and Tinker creek, I live in Alaska now, and Well sir, I thank you.

  • thank you, you make it look easy, keep the vidios coming

  • I prefer seals fur to Antron if you still have it. Also its best if the rib is wound in opposite direction to the hackle, far more secure.

  • could you use red chenille for this one?

  • Hi Jeter2rocks111

    It would be better to use wool or antron, but if you have fine chenille it might work for the body.

    Regards
