    This thing is my secret weapon. I have a little box of about 30 assorted sized and colors that I never go fishing without.

    These are fantastic. I use a drop of UV epoxy on the heads and get them to really light up. Thanks again for ALL of your remarkable videos. You have made it possible for the rest of us to jump years ahead in our fly tying efforts. Honored to be a subscriber!

      tightlinevideo I would like to see you tie Howell's trip saver. It's a good fly in the Carolina's. And maybe it's a good idea to have series of flies that are popular in different regions

    Just caught the only brown of the day with that fly on the batten kill, one I tied a few years ago in highschool as well😂 shows how effective such a fly is even tied crudely by a 15 year old

  • @icefisher1171

    This is a very nice pattern but can you make a fly for a vid using black Antron dubbing,black 70 denier thread, and sculpin olive pine squirrel strips?

    • @tightlinevideo
      @tightlinevideo  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, but I did do one that uses two of the materials.

    New to fly tying and have limited materials.
    A) I used size 16 and still didn't have enough room on my hook, how the heck do you do this and still have room? By the end I completely covered up all my silver wire.
    B) Will different sizes work? I guess i'll try it myself, but just curious.
    I used a blueish tinsel as well and it kind looks like just a regular black fly, seeing how I basically covered up all the silver. on the back end.

      Leggo My Bagel,
      As a new fly tier try and not get frustrated. For beginners the most common initial problems are the wrong thread coupled with too many wraps. Different sizes could work but it would depend on the water you are fishing. Baetis are pretty darn small Mayflies. There are literally thousands of patterns to learn how to tie, but all of them share something in common, and that is not to over do your wraps with your bobbin. Next thing, do not try and tie something, thinking that you've invented some new kick ass pattern. Guys or gals who tie regularly base all their patterns off of at least some hatch on their water. Here is my suggestion. Learn to tie the basics. Pick one pattern and tie it till you have it so dialed that you could tie it in your sleep. Compare it to a shop fly. If you start to match those, then you are getting somewhere. When you go to switch patterns you'll be surprised and how good you become. I've been tying for years, and some patterns still piss me off. A very good pattern to learn, and tightline has a great video on it, is the pheasant tail nymph. Listen to what he says about tying it with certain materials. Go to your shop and get those. Just keep at it. Oh, and those limited materials will turn into massive mountains of storage bins with stuff you might only use once or twice a year.

    Hello I'm just starting out in fly tying, what would be some good flies to tie for me, would some midges be good?

    • @solobeats7
      @solobeats7 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Logan Valentine Midges are awesome to tie once you have a little experience. The reason being is that midges are usually tied on such small hooks. The best flies to start tying is the Caddis Larve, and the olive wooly bugger. Both patterns can be found on his youtube channel and both are very simple but very effective patterns. Hope that helps!

    • @tightlinevideo
      @tightlinevideo  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dyne-King Ultimate Indexer with midge jaws rather than the regular ones.

    anybody catch fish with this pattern? how is it best used? as a dropper?

    • @justinpeters5502
      @justinpeters5502 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use as a dropper fly above a pheasant tail or copper John

    • @alfonsagelwei5280
      @alfonsagelwei5280 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dropper, definitely. Fish it 15 inches behind your heavy fly on an indicator rig. During a hatch, you can use it as a dropper off a dry fly. About one and a half feet. If I fish it this way, I switch to a glass bead.

    What kind of box is that?

    • @tightlinevideo
      @tightlinevideo  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Anglers Image from Wapsi. Magnetic bottom with foam dividers, really thin, holds a ton flies, inexpensive and they come in all different sizes. Many retailers carry them usually with their own logo.
