Learn Fly Tying Lesson 5 For Beginners The Cats Whisker with David Cammiss

[BarcaBoyz23]

Great vid as usual. May I ask what does varnish do?

[sergentmadman]

these fly's are awesome Dave

[smvtr]

Dave thank you for these wonderful lessons. You are a truly a master at tying.

[jasonclark666]

Easy, exact and enjoyable to watch. Cannot wait to start tyiny my own!!!!

[uncledit2]

Dear David,

I am coarse fisherman, who has recently taken to fly fishing for carp using a dog mixer biscuit. Have you any ideas or patterns for tying flies for carp? The dog mixer biscuit is obviously a little too heavy really. I think your video's are absolutely brilliant and will enjoy tying the fly patterns you have shown in Videos 1 to 5. Truly inspirational, thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone.

All the best, David Richards

Do u think if i used black thread it would make a difference

[superdadenator]

This looks like it would be awesome on white bass during the run!! Thanks!

[blaize137]

thanks david i perfected this fly!

[jakeawake5763]

this fly has good results when fished as a streamer, somewhat like the wooly bugger, well in my experinces

[XooBONES]

How big is the hook?

Hi Dave

Watching you tying flys brings back happy memories of watching my grandad tying ready for a great fly fishing session down at chalk springs in Arundel West Sussex.

He passed away in april 2005 & in January 2008 i took up fly tying myself remembering what he had tought me back then.Since then iv tied some 400 flys for myself & my brother inlaw for his birthday.You are a GREAT inspiration & i hope you do more for the fly tyer keep up the good work for a dieing skill

Did this fly ,found it easy to ,great thanks dave

[trollin47]

Hello David, You mention all the materials being used to include gold beads. What size are the gold beads and are they tungsten material?

I really enjoy your lessons, trollin47

[bucksnort47]

Excellent Videos. Your expertise is making a big difference in my ability to learn this art. Please tell me what vise you are using in your video. Thank you again, John S.

[seamonstersinc]

what kind of vise are you using ?

I am afraid to get one, and then learn that it's the one that is not so user friendly ...

[derleineangler]

& a big thanks fom me to !

[sinamp]

thanks David

[crushacats123]

nice one dave very easy to follow thankyou.

[anfield2k7]

just try it boozey it may work

[boozey1234]

could you use chenel instead of pheasant herl when tying nymphs and buzzers?? anyone. i dont see why not???

[vemkanmanlitapa]

or you could use yarn instead of chenille?

why not?

[starmack450]

the peacock hearl give the fly a nice luminecient glow. Chenille would work, but underwater, it looks a lot duller.

[superps2gamer]

What size beads do you use?

[rgers123]

i think this fly will catch in any colour ive tied it with orange marabou and red chenille and caught fish

[snowboarddude117]

how do you think this fly will perform in the americas?

thanks love ur vids

[dphigh1]

man that puppy looks great

[lovechaff]

Love this fly. I have tied about 3 Cats Whisker's so far and I can't wait to see what I can catch. Thank you very much for your informative videos.

[isofaster]

[krudcokid]

I use the green one here in New York State and this one is great for steel head in sandy creek.

[P8ntballfr]

Hello from Washington State. Thank you for posting the very nice video and pattern. I also tie this pattern with a lite brite dubbing head. I ussually tie it with black maribou and a black body and a red lite brite head. It makes for an egg sucking leech pattern,,,

Thank you

[7archers]

Aah Dave. Now I got to go out and get more supplies to do this. Great video. Thanks.

I can't wait to try it.

[CasualMaggot]

this is cool, calm and comfortable to watch.

[mattye9]

[MClown69]

thats a great tip on wetting and twisting the marabou! i was wasting the edges of th feathers forever!

[corpsemunger]

[andrewswilly]

Hello from Arizona. Great videos, thanks for posting them.

[Rocket1771]

ilove your tip on the marobo

[Regan439]

Oooh I Tied One Of These This Mornin, But Wit Green Chenile And Orange Maribou ,, If Thats How U Spell It Just Got My Starter Fly Tyin Kit Yesterday :-D

[ThatFlyTyingGuy]

with the chinelle you can pull some off the end so you are just left with a tread of cotton that its holding on to i find it easyer to tie it down like that sorry about the spelling of chinelle i dont know if it right

[themangaking12]

i did catch 1 rainbow on this fly thanks for the fly video

[Scissors002]

And sorry but did u say the hook size??

[Scissors002]

A proper gentleman with a flair for clearly passing on information - makes learning to tie flies an engrossing pleasure. All his flies are catchers I assure you!!! Thank you very much David

[genoknave]

your lessons are great and very easy to follow, keep up the good work. Just wondering if you can do any crawfish patterns or maybe a pike pattern? The smallmouth in my river refuse everything except for crawfish lures.

[smithmccrum]

[cod120]
