The slf dubbing is some awesome material, thanks!!!!

Charlie, I just started tying a month ago and your videos have been the core of how I’ve learned. Thanks so much for making them. I have a request for a specific fly if you ever get the chance. Bill’s Midge Emerger (Bill Fitzsimmons). I started fly fishing a year ago and have been learning on the Frying Pan and Roaring Fork rivers here in Colorado. As the founder of Taylor Creek fly shop, Bill is a bit of a local legend, and Bill’s Midge regularly shows up in the Taylor Creek river reports in the list of recommended flies (even though Bill sold the shop a while ago as I understand). There’s a single internet resource from 2009 with a material list for Bill’s Midge and that’s it. It would be incredible to have you cover the fly, I’m sure it’s effective beyond just the Frying Pan. If you don’t want to make the trip up from the front range I’d be happy to mail you some of them from Taylor Creek as reference flies. I’m not sure the ethics around publishing a video like this when it’s a shop specific fly and there aren’t already web resources to tie it, so if it’s bad manners to cover the fly without permission from Taylor Creek I understand that too. Anyway, thanks for hearing me out, and for everything you do.

Thank you.

You had me at the finely manicured nails…😂 great fly as always Charlie.

Great looking fly!

This one has been slaying it in the canyon the last few weeks! Perfect timing.

Thanks CC… Beautiful bug !!! I was hoping to see the new “Smhaen Thread Splitter” in action you folks just got in at CFB… I seen in your email today just before watching this tutorial… it’s a really nice looking tool! I’m sure there will be a vid before long, take care and thanks for the inspiration!

Great looking fly. Looking forward to tying some of these.

Always enjoy videos. This one especially.

Great looking fly shower I definitely will try this thanks for sharing

Looks like a killer fly pattern 🔥

Great as always Mr CC

Awesome looking fly!!!

Nice work.

Awesome Charlie

Lovely

Question about thread splitting. It seems no matter what I do, unwinding, flattening, wax, no wax, etc.. whenever I try to split the thread I get about 2 inches and then the thread binds and won't separate anymore without breaking. Maybe 1 in 10 allow me to split a longer section. Any suggestions from the master or anyone else is much appreciated. Cheers.

Ever think about making kits you can put on your site that has all the items in it for the flies you tie on your KZfaq channel?

Confused by foam. Is it two mm by 1 1/2 mm. Seems wide to me.

Looks like the "heathen"

Nice fly! It seems, back east, we tie smaller flies on average than what you westerners do (though not in this case). I find I use a split thread dubbing loop more often than the regular loop. Especially when working with CDC. I find it helpful to rub the shaft of my bodkin along the thread to help flatten it out, after uncording it.

Looks like a killer!
