I really dig these flies. They are longtime favorites of mine and thousands of other fly tyers around the world. You really do a great job teaching flies and keeping me motivated. Thank you #flies
Great to hear it Marshall! Putting these together made me realize how few dry flies I’ve added. Going to work on getting more of my favorites up. This is a good start though
Always wanted a list of basic flies for a box. This is great... I don't get to get out much or often... So I flail around.... Having a li0st of Best helps...
This was a great beginners kit for a great price. kzhead.infoUgkxKRURvLsu9Vvyw7gIuvt8FsApoQNCdz-1 Its given us a huge variety to test out and see what works well and what we like to use. Majority of the flies have stayed together well, but some of the rainbow warriors did unravel after catching a few blue gill. All in all, this was a great kit and are so happy with the purchase and value for money.
Definitely an Awesome assortment of fly patterns that don’t seem too difficult for us new to Fly Tying can attempt for a great assortment of patterns in our toolbox ! Mega Thx !!!
Beautiful flies selection!
Consistent perfection of a great selection of flies. Thanks from down under in NZ.
The klink is my favorite. Great stuff .

That first pattern is also known as a royal coachman.

Hi
What’s the difference between dry flies and other kinds Please don’t think it’s a stupid question I am just beginning fly tying and saving up for a set up so I actually don’t know #flies
Dry flies float on top or near the top of the water column in the case of emergers. So these represent the flies we see flying around and not the nymphs in the water
#Flies seriously cool fly tying, do you have a shop were I could purchase your flies🥰
Thanks, glad you liked them! Yes, you can find in stock flies here www.mainely-outdoors.com/
Some of these flies don’t have enough cdc tied in to stop the flies from sinking
I agree…

I tried tying this pattern but quickly became frustrated. So I call mine a “Damsel in Distress”!
haha! There are definitely more practical ones to tie up but that was a cool iteration of it

Really nice videos. I find the commentary to be ironically funny too. Only flies that fisherman want banned here haha. Who are these fishermen ? I don´t want them banned for sure. #flies
I don’t think any of these dry flys fall under that category. Unless I added something in by accident
Where do you get all of your feathers from? #flies

First
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I couldn't cast a dry fly to save my life, I can barely cast with a 5ft leader, idk how guys use 12'
You should be able to cast any foot leader with ease. I'd take some time and watch a couple videos to adjust your casting,I'm sure you will improve(i know i did). Always make sure you have your leader out and a minimum of 4 to 5 feet of fly line itself so it can pick up momentum a little easier. Let it fly/cast back until you feel a little tension on your rod pull back(depending on action of rod tip or fulcum point i belive is the term, this happens with back and forward casting)then you'll want to start casting forward and end with a little soft power push at the end of your cast(fulcrum point)so the line gets some tension on the rod tip to help propel the line forward
Takes time and patients it it’s a lot more tricky, but once you succeed it is much more effective
Teach yourself roll casts my friend
To present fly. Press thumb into the rod, directly opposite the eyes, pull the rod with your pinky at the reel, the eyes side has the strongest whip strength, use your thumb to point with/aim with, wrist is the fulcrum, and the leverage is between thumb tip and pinky bend (as stated above). Your rod and thumb and forearm should end horizontal at shoulder level. During that motion, pull the line slack a little more (a foot of slack is usually plenty), and move your entire mass forward over spaced feet (like punching, or throwing, more power), and the entire rod should flex over itself, the spring action of the rod will roll the line out. Just before I let that loop completely roll out, I let go of the slack so it pulls everything farther. 6-14 ' single width 15 # fluorocarbon (heat straightened so it rolls flat, i like p-line 15# or 20# fluorocarbon for this) does the same action as the fly rod and line, and 3-5 feet of 4-6# fluorocarbon (also heat straightened, be careful with the small stuff. suffix ice fishing fluorocarbon is my favorite tip leader) to have invisible line. Connected with barrel hitches on opposing line, not loops. Can usually get all that, and all of the floating line out, and into backing, and hit a bait bucket. Don't be afraid of the rod cracking noises, it's just the enamel over the eye wrapping. If it breaks, it's time to upgrade the weaknesses.
There’s a reason why we’ll established tyers not only have more a following but also tie a better fly. These are gimmick flies with poor directions. Need to explain proportions and Technique. We don’t need to enter dates to win a single fly or “a nice buggy look”. We need to stop tying 3/4 of the way down the bend of the hook lol.
Quit hating
Look up a how to video tie some flies. This is just a video of more flies basically. So retype what you what you search for. Other wise shut up. It’s a good video @Moffy
That’s how dumb you sound 😂😂
Unless you could tie anything better, you should stop talking
@@Pekin_duckI can tie better and homie was right ☠️ it’s fine when you’re a beginner but I’ve been tying just as long as Mainly and am leagues better with 1/100th the flies produced.
