Thanks, Tim, for another great video.

[@TimCammisa]

You're welcome, Gary, I truly appreciate you taking the time to say that. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@OfftheHookOutdoors99]

GreT info Tim!👍

[@TimCammisa]

You got it, and anything more to add? Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@skooter2196]

Preparation, organization, light and waste basket for me. Not OCD one bit, but through the years of tying I've learned prepping all materials in advance then storing them in a designated containers cuts back on time, keeps the bench clean, and it doesn't clutter the bench. As for the light I picked up a led one from target I believe for 30 bucks years ago and couldn't have been happier. Waste basket is a given, just dump it when you're done and you don't have to worry about cleaning up the bench.

[@TimCammisa]

Love your suggestions, Robert, and preparation truly makes a difference. Thanks for sharing and I hope all is well. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@robertwisener7877]

Thanks Tim, I have trouble with the pinch wrap, possible for a future video on the pinch wrap

[@TimCammisa]

I'll see what I can do, Robert, though I have a feeling there are a few videos out there on one already. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Totally agree with the razor, if a fly does not look right its not worth putting it in the box. Experience tells me it will never be tied on. Nice video pal.

[@TimCammisa]

Thank you so much for the kind words and comments, Lindsay...though I am POSITIVE none of your patterns need that razor blade! ;-) I hope all is well. Tim

[@vtdave121]

As a fairly new fly tier, I've tied many flies that looked like something the cat chewed up and spit out. I called them "FrankenFlies". And they caught fish! However, I will keep the razor blade handy!

[@TimCammisa]

Appreciate the thoughts, Dave, and I love that idea! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@rvnelson100]

Given that an endless supply of hooks and materials are taken for granted, my five things are 1 my Jvice; 2 my DayLight led lamp/magnifier; 3 my Jvice bobbins; 4 my Dr Slick tool set; and 5 Superglue.

[@TimCammisa]

Thanks for sharing your 5! Care to elaborate on why they made your list? Thanks again and I hope all is well. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@michaelobrien4734]

I still struggle getting the pinch wrap done well. Perhaps sometime you could spend some time in a video with the details. Thanks

[@TimCammisa]

You got it, Michael, I appreciate the suggestion. I look forward to hearing from you on some of my other videos. Thanks! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@redneckhippie3602]

Hey Tim what's the biggest fish on a self tied fly freshwater mine l8lb flathead, salt 200 lb nurse shark

[@TimCammisa]

Shark for me, too!

[@brucecox1251]

No. 1 knowledge...you can learn this on your own but it will be a long process. There is so much experience out there take advantage of it then take the world on. After that for tying, Thread control... all great tires are one with their thread. Where is placed and tension control, After that Good Material. Like the computer programing saying, Junk in, Junk out that is the maximum for fly typing. Today we have superb material available. Don't go cheap. My next to last one is, Develop a sense of proportion. A major part of tying is Artistic no doubt. LIke learning photography learn from the masters. See how long their tails are, how high the wing is, and so on. Some people come into tying are naturals. Like football players, you see in 7th grade who are destined to the pros. Fortunately for most cases like myself it is an acquired skill developed over years of repetition and back to number one, gaining knowledge from the masters and the fish themselves who let you know if your doing it right with tight lines. Lastly take all the above and have fun. I think that's the best one. Great video Tim. Thanks for sharing

[@TimCammisa]

Hi Bruce, and YOU are a master to me! Plus, your last comment should be the first: Let's have some fun! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@jamesvatter5729]

"Creativity" It also leads to some funny times astream. Watching the Glo Bug Army pass through hole after hole without much luck. Immediately following them with a "creation of your own" that proves a killer and has jaws dropping. I'm guessing they still think I was fishing live bait since I answered their, "Watchauzin?" with, "Wormy Apple."

[@TimCammisa]

Ha ha, now that is a funny one, James! Thanks for sharing. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@chriswalport2979]

Good video. Not great but good.. If I tie a fly a fly and it has a imperfection I leave it. I don't cut it off. Because sometimes that imperfection will catch fish. There is no perfect bug. Like you said a beat up fly will catch More fish sometimes..

[@TimCammisa]

Thanks for the comments, Chris. Aside from the things I mentioned, do you have any others to add to the list? Thanks! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@rickbobrick6573]

Here's a new tool that is a must for tying bead head flies (and who doesn't?) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5PUlqConLSCqJI

[@keithr4224]

No, I agree, if it looks stupid .... STOP cut the crap off and Start Over!

[@TimCammisa]

I agree...unless it's your first fly! Save that one, as your first fly is only ever tied once. ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@rickbobrick6573]

Not essential until you get one, and then you'll never tie without it: Telescopic, magnetic pick-up tool used by mechanics.

[@TimCammisa]

Rick, I know exactly what you mean! Have you seen this magnetic bingo wand?? ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4epgoJ7hb17baM Thanks for the comment and hope all is well! Tim

[@keithr4224]

Ok, I just changed from Dislike to LIKE .... GOOD JOB!

[@TimCammisa]

Hi Keith, thanks for the like. Hope to hear from you on more of my videos. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
