How great can it get? Jay Nicholas woke up today and found the freedom to slap down the coolest, most fish appealing colors, textures, and proportions of materials on an one of the new Greg Senyo Articulated Intruder shanks.
Life is good. No, this fly does not sport a sales-enticing name, but it has great color shades and will flow, wiggle, and flash in the water as it swims. What more could a salmon or steelhead ask for.
Many of our videos are produced with a couple of goals in mind. One is to demonstrate basic fly tying techniques. Another is to show off basic proportions and fly construction thinking or philosophies. Finally, we want to share new materials for our viewers consideration as well as show how a variety of new and old materials can be combined to create great looking, great fishing flies.
Only a few of our videos are produced with the sole purples of showing a hard-and-fast pattern formula. You will recognize those when you see them.
In the meantime, we are here mostly to practice our craft, share techniques and ideas, and have fun.
May your fly tying be as much fun as ours is. Usually. Yes, we have our less-then-fun fly tying days too. Insert big sigh here. Today, though, is a great day.
