Very well done, clear video. I am really glad to see you add in Euro/Competition Nymphing patterns. I and many of my fishing buddies are learning these fishing techniques with very good success!

[@msilv8335]

I've been tying a very similar fly for a few years in several color combinations. It's been a 'secret weapon' for me. Until seeing this video, i thought i was the originator. ;)
Thanks for posting!

[@kevinjtoner]

Nice, clear, instruction, as usual. Love your tutorials. They are excellent. Thank you for sharing......

[@tdematteo01]

Nice fly and great instructions. Will give it a try this year.

[@Indyreptiles]

Great video!! Can't wait to tie this fly!!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

What a great fly!

[@MatteoOnlyFlyFishing]

very good fly!i use in every season and every size

[@johnnydesmd]

I love these flies...Simply Effective!!

[@jimcarver4238]

Good looking fly! I can't wait to try it. I don't have any Sulky thread so I used black krystal flash. Looks pretty good, I think.

[@David-uj2ms]

I'm tying some up right now.

[@eacantwell]

Nice ,Very nice Thanks Earl

[@oneninertb]

My first choice. Always catch fish with this

[@sargentbrando]

I caught a steelhead with this tie thanks

[@nashkraft4387]

Thanks again :)

[@nashkraft4387]

Could you make a video on how to make a rod. Or at least point me to a place where I could find a nice kit. Thanks i love your videos they are the best there is.

[@tightlinevideo]

Go to Golden Witch Technologies and on their home page under featured products is a DVD set called "The Graphite Fly Rod, How to Build a Modern Classic". Russ Gooding and I produced it a few years ago but everything is still valid and there is a ton of good information.

Hi i am from Germany and i am using your fly Patterns and they work!And Here is a question : i am 13 years Old and i want to ask you if there are flyfishers in the Same Age in America

[@oneninertb]

Yes

[@stealthgunner5662]

Yes indeed I myself is 12

[@bakerward510]

[@grassfed-euclayptus1711]

tightlinevideo Thanks

[@naegling1184]

tightlinevideo What was the peacock dubbing color, I've noticed that there are several choices i.e. green, bronze, UV green/bronze, etc.

[@oneninertb]

Michael Jones I used the green.

[@coreyfrazer5609]

@@tightlinevideo You've solved a mystery for me! I ended up with a couple hundred spools of thread from the estate of an avid fly tier and there were a bunch of spools with that red end cap and knurled clear disk on the spool, but no labels.

[@chakatania]

What color is the dubbing? Looks like peacock red or bronze?

[@Jeffh0203]

I wonder how this fly would work on a jig hook?

[@tightlinevideo]

Jeff Harrison Really well! Size 14 and 16 with a slotted gold or black bead, hard to beat.

[@grassfed-euclayptus1711]

I figure that they would be pretty good all thought I haven’t tied on myself

[@nashkraft4387]

I could not find it :(
