Sandan 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2021 @DFoster, cool vid. It takes me half an hour to just put the wings together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalarMan 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2021 Haven't seen this in a while...fun stuff. Less than 30 minutes to "tie the Jock Scott" but how long to gather, assemble and prep the materials? I love it none the less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did notice that he already had the wings ready to go and did not assemble them. Still interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yes...very interesting!! He is a fine tyer and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him do in 20+ minutes what takes me hours to do😎 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bimini15 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2021 I appreciate the video, just like I appreciate what you guys tie and share in this forum. But, the moment he used the fine point tweezers to place materials, I knew this is well beyond me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second - If you can tie a wet fly you can tie the classics. The process is basically the same, just more parts requiring more planning and few unusual materials...honest!!

Bimini15 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks for the encouragement. I do not doubt that I could do ok with enough time and practice. It would just be hard for me to gather the patience/motivation needed for flies that, in my case, would be for show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandan 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2021 @Bimini15 I doubt I'll ever fish the classic style flies, but who knows. I tie em for the challenge and skill building. The skills learned carry over into my regular day to day tieing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever fished one? I asked Charlie Chute a few years back if people still fish these types of flies and he said yes but it's rare. He said the flies themselves fish really well because all the individual components flex and move which makes them look alive in water. The negative being that after hours of work the fly is certain to be ruined. A fair trade perhaps in exchange for the chance to fight a large salmon?

DarrellP 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2021 That is a long way from a Woolly Bugger! I keep thinking I should take some classes at some of the shows, whenever they come back. Some days I can barely tie a Woolly Bugger. My hat is off to you classic tiers. (exposing my bald head) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
