HOW to WHIP FINISH a Fly - STANDARD WHIP FINISHING TOOL - Tying & Finisher Instructions EASY!!!

HOW to WHIP FINISH a Fly - STANDARD WHIP FINISHER TOOL - Tying Tutorial & Finishing Instructions EASY! I got my first whip finish tool many years ago from a fly tying kit I bought from a Cabela's mail order catalog. The standard whip finish tool looked cool. However, I had difficulty using it and learned to whip finish the easy way - by hand. Decades later I picked up the whip finish tool again and it came like magic. Between shore side conversations (see below) and YouTube messages I found many had the same experience whip finishing a fly. I am happy to share with you a few simple concepts on whip finishing a fly from start to finish. I have two hopes for this video. One is you get it out the gate. The second, you have a eureka moment after time and practice and your whip finish all comes together. I am not sure how my "simple" concepts are to follow but I hope some helps. Please feel free to comment and any questions about your whip finish I would be more then happy to oblige.

The video was made to watch in its entirety if you are new to whip finishing a fly. If you are like me and you came back to the whip finish tool I would suggest to first watch the whole video. Find where you feel you are going wrong watch those segments and try again. I made a detailed list below of all the basic concepts and where you may be going awry when you whip finish with a tool. Have fun out there and we are always happy to share our experiences with all those around the world and hope you enjoyed the video as much as we did making it and remember always - Fish Your Way!

QUICK REVIEW 11:20

As I wade back to shore in my clumsily ginger fashion I come across a familiar face.
Its the familiar face of angling through centuries we all identify with.
The Pleasant Stream Side Angler.
We have a brief yet familiar conversation.

Pleasant Stream-Side Angler: "Hey Jerry, Do you ever use that whip finish tool when you tie a fly?"
Jerry: "No! I whipped it across the room though!"

Pleasant Stream-Side Angler: "Anything?"
Jerry: "Nope, but I seen a big one come clean up and give chase!"

Pleasant Stream-Side Angler: "Yea, They're in there."
Jerry: "Catch you later"

Pleasant Stream-Side Angler: "Best of Luck!"
Jerry: "Thanks! Will need it for the next one!"

The Pleasant Stream-Side Angler walks away slowly yet solid fading into a tan brown thicket brush backdrop.
