[skipperfox007]

Hi, David a nice easy fly to tie. Alan

[madaboottroot]

the soldier palmer is great in late spring on it's own, fished slow on an imtermediate line, I caught 25 fish in 4 hours using this method, excellent video

[neosporin1231]

Hey Dave i realy like all your videos i am supost to get my fly tying kit on wednesday and wondering what should i make for a begginer?

[topflyman]

Hi Wandeagle

Thanks for your e-mail. You are not far wrong! The zulu is a red tag with a brown hackle palmered and secured with a gold rib.

Happy Fishing

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

[katorade5]

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

[wardog847]

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

[boozey1234]

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

[llathrum]

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. Your videos have given me a clear easy to follow guild on fly tying. I am going to buy the goods I need and get started. You make the art of fly tying look as easy as falling in the creek =D

Thank your for taking the time to make them.

[GAFlyGuys]

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

[door2yourheart]

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.

[Jeter2rocks111]

could you use red chenille for this one?

[topflyman]

Hi Jeter2rocks111

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