sure they are–not that I’ve eaten fox, but I’m sure it’s fillet mignon in a survival situation.

nice man haha this helped me alot but i found out you can also use very small diameter fishing line to hold the feathers but that is if you have fishing line

Dude you gotta post videos more often. I don’t watch TV so this is my dead time after 13 hour days.

I’ve been watching and enjoying your videos for quite a while. You are very good at what you do. As an avid fly tyer and fisherman I must say that I’m quite impressed with your injinuity, I’ll have to try that myself. I wish you the best of luck with your Discovery venture, and I look forward to your next video.

kumquatsta on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:34 pm

You can also bait your hooks with bread, or pieces of biscuit and use them to catch ducks and geese.

5/5 so many inner strands

jrdcrpntr on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:34 pm 



yeah dental floss would work just fine, a lot of people try and make really intricate flies but i have found the simpler they are to tie the better they work

wildlifeed on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:34 pm 



Very interesting Dave!! as a fky fisher and tyer, this is a rather cool concept. I have a few tricks to make your flies easier, but that little sucker will work. In fact I have tied grass around a hook before and caught brookies. What ever gets you your food is ideal in a survival or primitive living situation. 5/5 and Faved!!

Dental floss goes in all my kits, or into my pocket if I don’t have a kit. For winding the feathers on, I’d think that would work pretty well, but not being a fly fisher I’m not positive.

Guitararcher on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:34 pm 



Wouldnt it make sense to just put flys in your kit? You can put bait on a fly just a well as you can a regular hook. Heck you dont even need to make a fly for bluegills, they will bit a bare hook!

dlvmark on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:34 pm 



I think it lip balm, Blistics?

dlvmark on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:34 pm 



Great tip!

dlvmark on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:34 pm 



Wind line near the handle first. As the line winds on move it toward the front, That way when you shoot your arrow the line comes off smoothly
