Many thanks for all who joined the live stream last night on Youtube and a very big thank you for the donations to support the stream! All this is very welcome as we are again in lockdown and it's been a year now that the fishing lodge is closed.
I really enjoyed the live interaction with you guys, and the stream had a great turn up with a full classroom attending .
This has got me exited to do more streams, and keep your suggestions coming!
One of the most recurring question last night was where do i buy my body tubing.Musky guys have been using body tubing a long time before it was commercialized for fly shops. Of course you can choose the easy option and buy them straight from your favorite fly shop or straight from Flymen Fishing co: Flymen Body tubing
This is a simple option if you only use this material on a few flies, or just want to discover and play a little with this material.But if you use a lot of it, it's a lot better to buy it by the meter! I use a lot of it, many of my pike streamer have BT , simply because you get massive volume without adding too much weight, it's very resilient and it will last a long time. Like i said above musky guys discovered this material a long time ago, and it comes from the electrical industry to sleeve and protect cables. There is different types of BT and you need to get the right one, its called FLEXO PET
And this is where i buy mine from, there is a few address in Europe.
Germany: https://www.techflex.org/en/multicolored-braided-sleeving-flexo-pet.html
France:http://cableorganizer.fr/gaine-tressee-expansible-pet-monobrin-techflex.html
UK: https://www.hypex.co.uk/Techflex-Sleeving-and-Heatshrink/General-Purpose-Sleeving/Flexo-PET/
And just in Case, here's a list of all the sellers: https://www.techflex.com/online_dealers
You will see it's very cheap, and you have a wider choice of colours and sizes!
If you guys want to support future streams and the work i do (blog/videos/tutorials) you can do it by "buying me a beer" . Of course this is not obligatory, i want to keep my content accessible to every one and for free.
But if you feel like it, donations will go a long way. Like i said i am not sponsored by fly shops, and everything you see in my videos, fly tying materials, computer software, cameras, webcams,lighting... All comes from my pocket...
