"Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history" Me, an intellectual: In all seriousness, though, I got a fly tying kit for Christmas and I can't tell you how helpful your videos are!

[@alc609]

Loved watching you tie this, and the barred markings

[@schmoonkie]

This is an easy tie--especially if one tied your Squirrel & Herl Bugger before. The latter worked really well for me on the Madison in late Summer. I'm currently tying these to try in Montana. I'll report back on its efficacy. Thanks Tim!

[@johnsamothrakis4621]

Thanks Tim for another great video,

[@drag-free]

I call that a Zonger. Been tying this style of bugger for a long time now. Counter-wrapping wire through the wing / hackle and tin wire underwrap are additions I make for durability and weight considerations. Nice tie!

[@brianmoore8260]

Great fly, Tim. I also enjoyed watching you tie it at the Atlanta Fly Fishing Show last weekend. Q

[@Swamp-Fox]

Love that fly! The colors are amazing.

[@jamesvatter5729]

Great looking pattern, Tim.

[@rumenstanev7747]

Amazing fly! I will try it. Thank's for sharing it!

[@outdoorsinontario3037]

Right on! Looks gr8!

[@michaeljmckinnon2960]

great looking pattern Sir. A fish taker for sure, I will attempt to add a few to my Brookie box. Thanks for sharing

[@juwright1949]

Excellent! Will use it & some variants,😉, in the Ozark streams this year. Thank you & well done. 👍🏻

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

made one from memory just now...I added a marabou tail to it. Just in sculpin tan color. With a black zonker strip. Going to fish it tomorrow and see how it does.

[@joutdoorsmen23]

Awesome job, cool clean, simple, and very easy to tie, I’ll be tying a few and I think in few different colors as well, thanks for sharing

[@ShortyOnTheFly]

What a great pattern!

[@lawfish5270]

Like that colour combo. I’ll tie some up to try out in my local Stillwaters. I generally like my flies/hackles a little sparser on Stillwaters, so I’ll probably strip one side of both hackles and perhaps do fewer wraps. Thanks for the tying inspiration!

[@joeduca8582]

Nice! Thanks Tim.

[@Fuji-San-Lego]

So cool to have seen you tie this in person in Boise today. Hope to see you again in ATL next month. Lol

[@cheflexx778]

Nice tie!! Thanks

[@leonardwells9613]

Looks great on every level, can’t wait to fish this one !! L 👍🎣👍

[@parachutejjs]

They don’t have chenille in the black and kawfee color down here in the South. Would black and coffee work…?😎. It’s one of the best things about tying your own stuff. “I wonder if that’d work in purple. Or what if I tied a zonker like an Adams. Or a zebra midge in hot pink”. Just tie some up and find out. Thanks for keeping us thinking Tim!

[@marciepiper6386]

Just found you lol. Watched a podcast with you and Collin. That’s a great pattern. Look forward to watching ur other content!!

[@starskyarsky8374]

Funny enough my zonkers actually float like a dry.

[@harleymandk]

note2self : hemingways H118 size 6 also work!

[@cesarpagan4640]

Have you ever thought about combining two different types of patterns just to make one specific pattern that’s pretty much never seen before or never thought of

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

Its a Zugger. =)

[@joeg5414]

Mohawk bugger

[@chrisfahlbush2663]

I have a small request, would you be able to put a list of the materials you use in the description or in the videos? Thank you.

[@EricReichbaum]

Anyone know where I can find barred, natural pine-squirrel Zonker strips?

[@HeideMason]

Do you ever tie these on a tube?

[@tightlinevideo]

Yes, they look great on a tube.

[@keithr4224]

Seen this already... why?

[@mikeh5908]

how does this bug identify..lol

[@joeg5414]

I think that's for the bug to decide, not the creator 🥴
