Nice job Mak there’s been a lot of beetles around this summer and I like this simple pattern. I’m headed to the bench right now to tie a few up. Thank you

Nice! I used to use peacock feathers too but switched to sewing thread or yarn (depends on beetle size) with fluorescent color for body under foam. And I think it works way better.

Do you ever shoot some fishing videos? I do enjoy your videos. Very patient tier, easy going.

Can you show us your workshop. Most of us would love to see it.

What would really help some of us is if you did some kind of material list before the video or in the description

This pattern always works very well. I too have tied many flies. Once you're into this sort of hobby it is super hard to get out! Plus there's nothing like fishing and being able to use your own fies...
I've also lost quite a bit of eye sight doing so. Especially when the number of units made is more than 50.000!!
The challenging ones to make when one first starts off are the size#'s 20 and smaller. That's where I've lost quite a bit of eye sight. I mean, meaning that I now use 🤓 where before fly tying I didn't have to ...

Oh but sooo worth it!! Lol 🎣

When you say Varnish, what is it that you are using?

Nice video!
for the legs I prefer hand brush horse hair fibres cos they are thinner, naturally black brown and more natural compared to these rather bulky silly legs...
tight lines!
