Don Bastian 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2013 Hi everyone; I have been active on the Classic Fly Tying forum since 2006, and while I have personal, commercial, and custom fly tying experience, and three instructional DVD's (classic wet flies and streamers), I have seldom, if ever, made posts here on this part of the Fly Tying Forum. Also, I've never done any general trout fly videos. Until yesterday, when I filmed my tying sequence of a March Brown Comparadun and posted it on youtube. Here is the link: I also attached a photo of a March Brown Comparadun that I tied: The hook is a #10. Thanks for looking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don Bastian 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Hi utyer; Thanks for your compliment on the video, I'm glad you liked it. I've always got a few Comparaduns in my fly boxes. They do the job well in certain situations. Thanks again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickalo 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Nicely done Don. How you tie your flared wing so it looks right was very helpful. I have a tendence to put too much on when I tie these and they don't flare right and getting that nice "180 degree" look Thanks, Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don Bastian 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2013 Hi Mickalo; I'm glad you found some helpful information in the video! Tying Comparaduns with consistency among how much hair balanced to hook size takes some practice. Thanks for your compliment and comment! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
