My name is Pat Cohen, I design Fly tying materials,

fly tying tools, and manufacture flies and I sell them

around the world to fly anglers and fly shops.

There's your raw, basic fish catching flies,

where they can be artistic and catch fish.

the most important thing is to have a vice

as absolute steady and sturdy as possible.

You're putting an enormous amount of pressure on the hook

so you need a vice that's going to stabilize that hook

so that you don't pop out of the jaws, hurt yourself,

The waxed thread goes onto your hook on the tail section.

You're gonna look at food sources in different ways.

I would have never thought in a million years

so if it falls in the water it's fair game.

So this understanding of predator prey relationship

To make an effective fly you need to understand

It throws off color and light in a specific way

and you don't have attention to those things

your chances of catching a fish go way down

We built up layers so that we could make it look

like a feathered tail, and then we used a feather

It's got a specific mottling on the feathers.

Once that's established we tie that thread off,

The worst thing possible would be to bring it out

catch one fish and have the fly fall apart.

We're switching to belly hair from a deer.

The hair is hardest at a specific time of year.

The cellular structure of the hair changes.

You're creating pressure by packing that hair back

You cannot make a bass bug without a hair packer.

the hook shank with and push that hair back

There's been various packers that have been made.

I got injured using it, putting a flat hook in my thumb.

I said this is ridiculous this can't happen.

A lot of people had the same problem that I had.

and seeing things a little bit differently.

I tried fly fishing one day out of nowhere.

Feeling that water on my legs, something clicked.

It forced me to get in touch with my natural surroundings

and with that river, and understand what was happening.

I said, wow, there's this whole magnificent,

beautiful world that if you are in front of your TV

I accidentally fell into bass bug making.

What happened was I went to a big box store,

and I saw these things, so I bought a couple of 'em,

but I caught one fish and this thing exploded on me.
