Hi eagleflies

Thanks for your comments.

Sorry I do not know much about American patterns. However if you have the materials for the pattern the technique is the same.

Happy fishing.

Hi Ron

The man behind the lens is my younger son Jon.

He is getting even better all the time. I have the easy bit tying the flies and Andy does the background music.Neither fish but they support the old man.

Happy New Year

Dear Dave,

thank you so much for all the tutorials. I started with flyfishing 3 years ago. Thank to your videos it is now a natural thought to me, to tye my own flies.

This makes this poetic sport even more complete. Watching your Klinkhamer-pattern I ran into the question, if the Upside-Down-Paradun of John Goddard/ Brian Clarke ever was a successful or widespread pattern? The idea of not showing trout the hook of my fly sounds perfect? Has this USD ParaDun worked properly? Best wishes Bernd

i really love these vids

[yvonnebowe]

hiya Dave, what a lovely video, I use hare all the time and increasingly parachutes. The best thing about parachutes is that you can see fly and the rise to it and this makes all the difference in broken water with difficult light. Thanks again for a lovely video. Yvonne

Hi Dave,

Its Funny; every one has their own method as to what the klinkhammer should be costructed of and how its tied.

I first thought that the body would have a problem penetrating the surface film with such a heavy dubbing but then you have copper wire which will add the weight needed and pull the body under. Its well thought out!

Me, presonally, prefer a Turkey Biot dyed BWO for the body and a light or dark tan throax (match the hatch)

David, I'd like to see this fly in action!

could this pattern be improvised to imitate the blue winged olive, green drake or other mayflies using the egg yarn for a parachute pattern?

[chrissept21]

@gdizzlesfc spin slower and use less pressure

if you have to pull the to arms that hold the bobbin apart so its not so tight

[WEESTRAWZ]

your bobin holder might have sharp edges.

Just get a bit of sand paper or the like and give a few turns inside the shaft of the bobin holder!

check the thickness of your thread, it's measured in deniers and will be indicated somewhere on the spool. You may want to be closer to the 210 range if you're starting out..
