I have been extremely lucky in the 70 years that I have been on this planet. I have been able to combine ,if you will, two of my favorite pastimes. Bird hunting and fly fishing / tying. I like to hunt pheasants, grouse-ruffed and sharptail, Hungarians and ducks. I have been able to harvest the birds and utilize their feathers to create flies that usually catch fish. When I was younger, I also trapped fox ,raccoon, muskrat and mink and was also able to use their fur. I also have been able to show these pastimes to my sons and several of their friends. Thanks for the great videos.

Thanks for posting a video with a smaller streamer. I'm a trout fisherman that mainly fishes with 4-weight kits, sometimes 5, and I could throw this (line taper and head-length permitting) with both.

Tied a variation of this on a size 8 jig hook balanced got a fish first cast. would love to see a tutorial of you tying one like that with saddle for the tail but I can only hope. If your around the driftless region of minnesota I'll give you one I tied since you've inspired most of my time at the vise

Great informitive video as usual. Really enjoyed watching this one. I normally tye crappie jigs, but stretching out a bit and learning new techniques. I may see if I can get it down to 1-1/2"s and see what I can catch. Thank you for posting.

I was looking for a tying video for our PHWFF advanced vet's class could used but the critical part was it needed to use inexpensive material. I didn't know you for a small fly (trout) guy and just decided to click on my subscription to see what you had that was new. To my surprise I saw this video. You have opened new doors for many tyers. Keep up the outstanding work you magnificent bastard! LOL Also, that new Ahrex PR378 hook IS awesome. Been tying a bunch of weedless pike patterns (yours) on it.

I like the trick about using the pad if paper for mixing epoxy. We used to have a system like that when I worked in an auto body shop. We would mix body filler (bondo) on a square pad of paper, and when we're done, throw the top sheet away.

I really like how you use the mono thread to your advantage to lash down the eyes. I have a whole drawer full of these flat adhesive eyes. The glue loses some of it’s adhesive properties over the years, and lashing them down never came to mind. I’m going to make some of these flies for catching Minnesota crappies. Also have lots of pheasant. Keep it up, glad to see working an under utilized natural material like pheasant.

There is one major drawback to 5 minute epoxy and that is that it will turn yellow and get cloudy as it ages. The slow setting epoxy does not have these aging problems. If you do get bubbles they can be drawn out with a quick touch of a flame of a BIC lighter or a match.

Really like the hackle attaching technique but I find it simpler to rotate the hackle feather 180 degrees and hold from behind the vice, that way you are not folding the hackle back over on itself and you are still on top of the hook shank.

@phoult37

The underside of pheasant rump is grayish color and lacks all the markings. My guess is he wants those colors on the outside, not on the inside, so he puts the curve to the inside.
