the Hoff

funny, just the other day i was wondering when Markus Hoffman would treat us to a new video and bingo ! one pops up out of his deep and dark and Guiness fumed, mantuary with a super-sweet realistical yet accessible to the average tier version of an emerging midge larvae.

with a nice soundtrack reminiscent of Davis and a few pauses to take away tying stress…  guiness once again we get to see a great fly being made and get to take in a few tricks of the trade at the same time. enjoy !

the ‘Thumbs-Up’ Baetis Poser Fly

by groovy MadMan buddy, Markus Hoffman.

there’s a bunch of excellent tiers out there but once again, Markus serves us what is certainly the most enjoyable and delicious mix of tying, atmosphere, good-natured fun, non-obnoxious music and well, an excellent looking fly…

for more of Markus’ tying videos previously posted here be sure to click the link above. enjoy !

attitude, atmosphere and a see-through shrimp

by Markus Hoffman

this time Markus goes teeny tiny with a Hemimysis or just plain Mysis of the Mysida order.

at 5 to 25mm long these shrimpy creatures are quite small but they’r eagerly eaten up by char and trout so a nice realistic imitation is in order !

outside of the basic shape these creatures are transparent making this an essential aspect in copying them.

it’s getting darker and darken in Markus’ den, he’s forcing us to pay special attention if we want to see how to tie this great pattern. put on your night vision goggles and enjoy !

how mayflies and trout are made.

we’ve seen Markus Hoffman’s fantabulous fly tying videos here, here and here and now we get to see the next step of his obsession with art, insects, trout and fly fishing.
it’s fascinating to watch, however if you don’t like high speed, thrashy loud music that involves monster-like screaming as a singing form, i’d seriously recommend turning down the volume…  enjoy !

(yes, something special happens somewhere around the middle of the video, you’ll just have to wait and see)

i could go on and on but this little film tells it’s story on it’s own so i’ll just shut up. enjoy !
