[ragincraven]

SHHHH!!! I like quiet!

[cbizzkit]

great looking fly! you should tell what materials you are using, and tell the steps you take. great fly though!

[wrshero]

the silence is deafening..........I like to hear what materials the tier is using , not buzzing or unrelated music........good tie tho

[wadreon]

>>>>Meant to say "if the author wants others to know"........

[wadreon]

Im not sure if anyone wants to know, or if the author wants to know. But I am quite sure this is a very well know Tyer, Charlie Craven. He has books out, which are good sellers in the tying comm. They sell well at my Flyshop. With that, the ridiculous speed, accuracy, and quality is not so hard to believe. 2:13 for a copper john - VERY Nice!!

[Trailsthatflow]

do you tie 1,000 of them a day or something, you were flying, AMAZING!!!!!!!

[CutthroatCharlie]

Holy crap! Fast and quality. I aspire to be that quick, Amazing.

[Republikenny]

What's the black thing you use on the head and what do you use for the tail? Thanks :)

[Republikenny]

Nice video but instead of cutting the wire, try twisting it around the vertex so that you won't damage your scissors.

[ragincraven]

I used a separate pair of wire scissors for cutting the wire...much faster and no damage to my good scissors. Watch closely;-)

[allansumnall]

Trying to call out one of the best tyers in the world on the wire/vertex trick? Scadooooooooouche bag!! Charlie prob invented that lil trick dumbass!!

[majorob590]
