With all due respect
With all due respect, you said you developed an innovative technique for extended bodies but I learned about this exact technique from a romanian flyfishing site about 5 years ago.
Nice presentation anyway!

Gotta love easy flies
gotta love easy flies.....the glitter shrimp is almost the same...even more easy without a dubbing loop...

Love it
Love it. Tying my shrimp somewhat similar after one I got one from Henning (or was it Paul?) with SLF dubbing and have been catching ever since! Thanks again ;-)

Nice quick tie
Nice quick tie. I have my own shrimp (I call it EPKISS :) ) tied with a EP shrimp dub brush, thats an even quicker tie than working with the magic tool. Great for bones and seatrout

Beautiful fly Barry. It is well-dressed, and I bet it will be a killer.

Very nice looking fly,Barry. I'm sure the Rainbows in Northern Sask will love this fly.

Thank you both for the kind words. And just a little addendum to the notes above, kelts are both male and female atlantics (not just female) heading back to the sea after a winter under the river ice.

Joel - made my own tools out of 1/4" wood dowels and a pencil sharpener. See here: http://globalflyfisher.com/tiebetter/eyes/

Bob,
Beautiful streamer !!!,,,
You do a great job with eyes..!!!!

That is a really pretty line winder. However, and old line spool with an installed handle and scrap wood for mounting will do the job. Love the time, effort and beauty but line winding and cleaning is more of a utilitarian function.

Great article! As a tinkerer that likes to see ideas this way above average. Thank you

Bob, great tie! I wish I could still tie flies that small, #6 is about as small as I can do decently anymore. Eyes are great! Did you use CD's tools?
Cheers

Bob, this is an incredible fly. I love everything about it. The colors, and that big gorgeous eye really make the fly. Outstanding work.

good job Bob, tell me please the eye you paint with oil or sticker is attached?
Great video I loved
Great video I loved it . I have a float tube myself and love it . That was so awesome .
Wing--keep it sparse and short
Further info. Wing--keep it sparse and short so that when the wing gets wet, it will not topple the fly. The wings in the pic of the 4 flies are thick for the pic but I fish wings that are less than half as thick. Hackle, I take two turns of quality Metz saddle hackle and it floats them well. More turns tends to push the abdomen too far up. Fished the BWO yesterday on a slow day on the South Holstein. Fished many flies but ALL surface takes were on the Duck's Natural Style though I also threw standard dries and a purchased extended body that had the hackle traditional parachute style above the body. These flies work! I cannot wait to try them on the Green River in Utah at the end of the month!
