I just started back into trout fishing in ‘21 riding up to the Catskills from Long Island. I’ve not been to the Museum, but this video tells me I should. Maybe a visit will give me some ideas to improve my fly tying.

I think you can use the the tag end that points up for your dropper with this knot if you want to. Less tangles perhaps. One of the benefits of this knot vs the triple surgeon. I'm a huge fan of your videos, thank you for what you do!

I have read that back in the time of Darbee and Dette spade hackle from the shoulder scapula of an old barnyard rooster was used for tying Edward Ringwood Hewitt's Neversink Skaters. What is the source now for the equivalent hackle that meets or exceeds the length, stiffness and concave quality? Also, if there are any Skaters at the museum or in collections, do any of them have a sharp outer concave to concave edge or were they always tied to have a "close enough" edge?

I love to fly fish but all most walk away from it completely long ago because of all the number of trout flies and sizes there was. No internet in the early 90's, and the attitude with most of the season fly fishermen back then was if you didn't spend at least $200 or more on a fly rod, you would never be able to throw a line correctly. Just as I was about to give up completely, a person I met at a fishing show me how to fly tie an all-black Clouser minnow and directed me to a location on a river where stripers, bluefish and Hickory shad could be caught. He called the Hickory shad the " poor man's tarpon ". I 've been hook ever since.

And that is really what fly fishing is all about. Whomever that person was who helped you truly understands the obligation that comes with receiving the joy that fly fishing can bring. We are responsible to share it on a personal level, taking interest in others and helping to perpetuate the passion for our sport and the environment in which we practice it through education. Make sure to do the same as you develop your fly fishing knowledge and capabilities along with your understanding of the critical nature of protecting our environment especially with younger generations because they will be the future of keeping our natural resources healthy. Nothing seems to bring a healthier understanding of the critical nature of our rivers , streams and the environment surrounding them than getting out into the outdoors, Into the river and developing an understanding of the ecosystems that flyfishing can initiate at the very least. Congrats!

…a wonderful film. Unfortunately I never had a chance to meet ant of these brothers of mine… I’ve lived long enough to see the decline of my favorite stretch of the Esopus river in Phonecia. My father took me there in1969 and we camped in the park on the river; it was magical. 20 years later I returned there and the campsite had been converted to a “tubing” launchpad site with bus loads of people from NYC. It was heartbreaking. I’ve been tying and teaching fly tying my entire adult life; my grandchildren may never get to experience the magic I experienced…

What a great film! I was at the Dette shop this past spring and I think its the ideal for what a fly shop should be. and the nearby museum is a treasure. Fished the Willowemoc and did pretty well on a #14 and 16 pheasant tail soft hackle. Have been tying like a fiend for 50 years here in Maryland and no sign of getting bored. Recently retired, I guess I should join the guild and get up there more often! There would be enough new water to keep me busy the rest of my life.

@@FrequentFlyersFishing I did indeed watch that as well. I have thoroughly enjoyed the videos and look forward to seeing more in the future. I was introduced to fly fishing about five or six years ago through project healing waters, after being wounded in Iraq and being medically retired from the Military, shortly after receiving my Purple Heart. I needed somewhere to put my focus and fly tying and fishing was exactly what I didn’t know I needed in my life. My love of art, music, working with my hands, patience, a bit of stubbornness, and my attention to detail that I developed while serving for 11.5 years helped me quickly develop some of the skills that I will use with purpose for the remainder of my life. My passion for this sport goes far beyond an obsession, so when I see these guys working together around a table and sharing tips, tricks, stories, and some off colored comments I’m sure, reminds me of my time in service and the camaraderie found while being there. Again, thanks for sharing as it is provided a spark of motivation, and I in fact felt so compelled by your documentary that I had to head to my tying room and sit down in front of my vise and tie a handful of iron dun dry flies and a few Queen of the waters!

@@FrequentFlyersFishing man what I wouldn’t give to be able to spend just one weekend with these guys learning the history, art, tips tricks and techniques, and I could go on and on. The amount of knowledge contained between all of the men and women in both documentaries would be I’m sure almost overwhelmin, but Lord knows I would absolutely soak as much as I could in! So glad that this stuff is being documented for future generations as some of these skill sets have just about disappeared. It is unfortunate, but great patterns and knowledge never disappears for long and it will come back around I’m sure

I eventually ended up in deposit NY and no fish caught either. Guess it was my presentation on the water. Only ones that were successful that day were in drift boats on the west Delaware

As someone relatively new to all this, I'd like to ask why so many down eyes? I keep thinking a hook should have an up eye so the pattern rides in the water at a better angle. I do like the look of the style shown in this video... I practiced on the "mop" fly and similar as I've only been at this 6 months or so...but I want to learn the "old school" patterns. They just seem more alive!!
@FrequentFlyersFishing 3 ай бұрын
Good question! According to Seth: “that’s a good question. the really old hooks had no eye and you would use a gut loop for the eye, then eyed hooks came along and most were up eye. then they transitioned to the down eye being most popular. i really don’t think there is an advantage of one over the other tbh”.
