YouTube fly tying

[tctrout]

Once every week (or so), I post fly tying videos to YouTube; I enjoy sharing these with others, plus always love any feedback. I've been tying for almost 25 years, yet tying in front of a camera changes things! Regardless, I'll occasionally post to this forum; hope you enjoy some of the patterns.

Nice video. Videos are lengthy, but filled with a lot of information. Good job.

Thanks! I noticed you are from Del. River area; how has it been fishing? I plan on getting out there next Friday through Sunday; sulfurs still on?

The River is real high right now, like all the rivers in the east. The water is spilling over the dam (Cannonville) and the WB is high for even floating and unwadeable. MS too high for even floating.

Check these sites for info:

Thanks for the sites; it seems like the Delaware may be coming back down. I can only hope bc we plan on going out at the end of next week.

Thanks again!

Hey TC,

If we don't get a whole lot of rain, the Upper WB should be in great shape and fish very well by next weekend.

Keep checking the on the sites in the links above.

Good luck!

if you can, be ready to bag it if it's not below 800 or so. maybe 1,000. there's nothing as depressing as driving 4 hours and watching the WB rage through the game lands with fish rising on the other bank. I think we fished it the last day you could comfortably wade over three weeks ago.

Thanks; we are on the edge right now, though the numbers are looking better.

Here's my latest fly I placed on YouTube, a Schlappen Woolly Bugger (which I don't plan on using this weekend @ the D!):

Here's a fly I just tied for YouTube; it's a Rusty Spinner that offers hi-visibility when fished @ dusk. The link is:

Thanks!
