Took a fly tying class from Elis Hatch himself. I live in NH and Ive caught so many fish on this fly when nothing else would produce fish. The key to fishing this fly is to let the current grab your line and let it swing threw the pool...BAM!!! fish on. Also let your line straighten out down stream and strip it back works well also.

Great looking fly. Thanks for the video.

Great tie Tim. That new tool caddy blends in very well with your walnut tying station. Beautiful!

[@duderoony]

That’s one heck of a great little bundle of fish joy. Thanks for a really nice tie and super pattern Tim. They’re always appreciated.

[@bfhub420]

You make it look easy! Beautiful work, thank you for your videos!

[@corkcamden9878]

Logical, plain-spoken tutorial. No pretense. I like it. Cheers!

Hey Tim! It was so nice to see you and your wife in Atlanta at the fly fishing expo. Your advice to me was put to good use think out of the box and just do it! You should see some of the things I have created. What I have learn is there is nothing off the table. Thank you so much y’all are a great couple just wish that I could spend some time with you, I think you are good man. Keep up all that you do and thanks👍

Thanks for sharing! Before whip finishing, many experienced fly tyers flatten (untwist) their thread. I'm very surprised, you of all experienced (?) tyers did not or even recommend doing so.

[@tightlinevideo]

I recommend it in many of my other tying videos and videos specific to whip finishing. I just can't squeeze everything into every video. The other thing is, this fly was tied using Veevus 16/0 thread which rarely if ever kinks up and ruins a whip finish no matter how corded the thread is. You can see in the video just how easily the thread slips under the whip finish wraps. A question mark after experienced, really? Is that necessary?

[@jefflefebvre4811]

Cool to see a reference to Ellis Hatch- Hadn't thought of him in years. Nice bug, too!

[@johnshand6176]

A great pattern of Mr. E R Hatch Sr. expertly presented. I wish I had some Wood Duck but I will have to be creative and use similar duck feathers as not available down-under. Thanks.

[@Fuji-San-Lego]

Nice Fly. Going to have to make some today. Tight Lines

[@russelllieser4226]

Great video and fly. Thanks for your time in making your videos.

[@ericevonsion2759]

I have been using synthetic Quill for Bodies lately with much success.

Great looking fly, I will definitely be tying some of these. A quick question. regarding he metal applicator you have on your Sally Hansen;s bottle. Where can you purchase these, I have been looking however haven't been successful. If you can point me in the right direction this would be appreciated. Thanks

[@lunkerkid2955]

Matt would be proud of that thorax

[@SkidinDingo]

there's just something special about soft hackles. would fish/10

[@aerossetti]

Do you have links to any of the tools? the line cutter you use after whip finish looks custom and was intrested in the head cement jar with thin applicator. Thanks

[@flickingfeathers]

Why don't you counter wrap the quill and wind the wire in the same direction as the thread? It makes for a stronger fly than the double thread reversal and you won't have to fight the rib when setting the back of the thorax.

[@tightlinevideo]

It's a great question. I am not nearly as adept at counter wrapping materials as I am at wrapping them, probably because I do it much less often. This isn't always a problem, but with delicate peacock quills that are so prone to breakage, I want to stack the odds in my favor so I always wrap them in same direction as normal thread wrap. For me, using the wire to change the direction of thread wrap at the thorax is a small price to pay for a correctly wrapped and protected quill.

[@flickingfeathers]

@@tightlinevideo you should make the switch, you'll notice the flies last longer.

[@tightlinevideo]

@@flickingfeathers I have never had durability troubles with this pattern when it is tied just as was done in the video. Sometimes durability in theory is not the same as it is in practice.

[@brittlanders351]

2 questions 1. What are you using to dispense you Sally’s? 2. Does the tip stay clean?

[@FattyMateo]

Why would you make the weight lopsided by tying in the wire on one side rather than on top?

[@tightlinevideo]

So as not to disturb the tail when taking the first wrap with the wire.

[@hmberobertoferrarogivingme7390]

Thanks !!!!!

[@RobertMiller-gc2rj]

That flie looks really good, do you know a fly called purple nasty tadpole, if you do you should make a vid on it

[@richludt2962]

RM's Adventures This tying video is on KZbin. Search for “Purple Nasty Tadpole”.
