I just wanted to thank you for these videos. I have learned a great deal from each one. They have changed my life dramatically. I was injured in Iraq and lost more than I would like to say, but these videos have giving me a hobby and passion I would have. Never know without your videos. I'm very proud to have the skill set I have now thanks to your videos . I'm in Brooklyn New York so you could imagine the lack of fly Tyers here . Thanks for more than you could ever know

[@tightlinevideo]

Glad you like the videos Robert and the biggest of thanks for your service. Let me know if there are any patterns you'd like to see in the future. Keep on tying!

[@dustymiller8284]

Robert Gil Thank you for your service. You're a great American.

[@adamsoutdoors]

Robert, first off Big thanks for your service brother! 2nd I’m trying to get into fly fishing with my oldest daughter. So if your still tying, do you have a website where I could buy some flies from you? If so post it for us, would be an honor to buy from you!

[@FlyFishMike_]

First off, thank you for your service! If you are still in NY, have a look for Project Healing Waters. They are an amazing group made up of Veterans that get ex-military out on the water to help the mind, no matter what shape the body is in. They do great work. Be well and enjoy your fish~!

[@robertgil5849]

@@FlyFishMike_I’m the regional coordinator for New York now. Project healing waters has indeed made an impact . Life has changed so much because of tim and healing waters . This comments was many years ago . Thank you so much for spreading the words about healing waters . I even was blessed enough to spend time with Tim . His voice till this day helped my son who has autism . Very funny story 😂

[@KlinessDeButy]

Thank you for all your videos. Your eloquence, experience, and detailed descriptions has made beginner fly tying that much more enjoyable. Thanks again!

[@FlyFishMike_]

Thanks a ton, Tim, these videos are constantly on next to my tying bench. I'm with you, preferring size18 and up, but sometimes it has to be tiny. Great tip with the 'forward-back' thread technique. I was going to call you Mr. Flagler but I know how much that disrupts your concentration...lol. Thanks again, keep up the great videos! Cannot wait for the annual winter podcast! -Mike.

[@theapachetrout]

You guys make the best fly tying videos on KZbin! Keep it up!

[@stephenfurlong6498]

You have such a talent for clear, concise description. These videos are peerless. Thank you!

[@GeorgeSemel]

I been tying this one since you posted it, I been using TMC 200 R for the hook, all month I been fishing it as a trailer to an # 16 hare's ear 6 x florocarbon tippet 18" long, more times than not when I hook up, the trout take the 22 PT- my biggest to date was an Brown a little over 23 inches out of some really hard fished waters! I like it because its a quick simple fly and its from common inexpensive materials! Soon its going to be low water, warm temps and hopper time, I will be trailing one off of a hopper just because!

[@Waddy5691]

I've tied this in sizes18-22 and all are trout candy! Great dropper fly behind a hopper or a 2nd fly in a 3 fly nymph rig.

[@victorybeforecombat5783]

this is the best fly tying video I've seen yet. thanks!

[@TheXeniaman]

That is a great tie, most especially for such a small size. Great suggestion on how to break off the pt fibers off close. Since watching this video I use that method and works real well.

[@edperry4235]

The camera work on this video is first class.

[@MidLifeFlysis]

Thanks for this tie off procedure! It's saving me a lot of crowded hook eyes!

[@jacobstarr9010]

For people that don't have plunger-style hackle pliers, grabbing the hooks with hemostats also works well.

[@salmosalar18]

Perfect ! ( fly tying , products and choice of nymph !) Bravo !

[@hellandheaven66]

Hy. This, - 3 over - 1 in front - 1 over System, is great and works best! Many thanks for that Trick. Super detailed descriptions

[@jasons184]

Bonnie wee flee the pheasant tail and a great video on the tying :)

[@MikeWitmerNatureJournal]

Great video! Love the rubber trout!

[@tightlinevideo]

They are the only trout I've caught recently! But the deep freeze seems to be over for the moment and I'm hoping to get out soon. Glad you liked the video.

[@ajj4483]

Wow, really amazing & professional tie, thank you!

[@ethanmontgomery7798]

I really appreciate the time put in these sir. As a beginner fly tier, they help a lot. Could you please do a sculpin that fits trout? The trout in my river feed heavily on them. Thank you so much n advance sir!

[@eacantwell]

Great fly!Really like tip [breaking vs.cutting]the pheasant tail,On small flies I love Veevus 16/0 thread[very srong for its size]Thanks Earl

[@gabrielamiklosova4311]

Just wow! Really good looking, must try! Thank you :)

[@petek1pml746]

Love the technique. Will definitely be using that the next time i tye pt!

[@alistersef]

Well tied as usual,good pattern for the Duo method

[@icefloe78]

I always enjoy your videos. Three are hands down my favorites on KZbin. Your tying tips are useful and simple and have helped me with my tying. Please keep them coming. I have wondered, what is that single blade cutting tool you use to cut the thread?

[@atanazypernat8475]

nice nymph: easy to tie and i am sure efficient - great video

[@Waddy5691]

Just the best nymph that the Colorado tailwater trout gobble up...

[@randydeskins9359]

Great tips.

[@mjskip22]

top notch skills you have! Thanks, I learned a lot!

[@MARK1212WHY]

Very good instruction ! Blessings and Shalom !

[@1984mattr]

Great video, as always!

[@DJackson1882]

Great tie!

[@dylanbirosh3861]

thanks for the video! really helped me

[@markbenn1907]

Size 22 is absolutely cracked. I tied some on 18’s and that might be good enough for me….

[@birrapampa]

todo un desafío atar a ese nivel...

[@Hunterslife315]

Great video brother

[@grigri077]

nice video, great job and well done Bravo !

[@nonsolopaolo]

nice vid !

[@MrSlybin]

Very nice video. Do you have a pattern for a wiggle pheasant tail? I would love to see you tie one. Thanks.

[@joshteague8904]

What size tippet do I use for size 22 hook. I'm considering tying and fishing smaller than size 16, which is a first for me. I usually tie smaller nymphs as a trailer behind a larger one on 5x leader with 5x fluro

[@Waddy5691]

6x-7x...if you can see to thread the eye.

[@davidcooper5177]

First of all, your videos are top notch. Second, I've never understood the R hook. Doesn't it make a 22 look BIGGER, than say a regular or scud 22? I fish a lot of Colorado tailwaters and would think a PT on this hook would look huge..... Or am I over thinking this?

[@tightlinevideo]

I know what you're saying. But, l'm looking for a long, lean profile on this pattern like a Baetis natural. Tied on a shorter shanked 22 the fly tends to look short and squat which is not really what I'm after here.

[@dormouse1111]

It's not the English version , it is the original as Frank tied them

[@keiranrooker7981]

I use 4x tippet and can’t use any hooks size 20 and under

[@earllubold2505]

And I thought it was the only tyer to use the Rite Bobbin

[@Thalarctos.]

SUPERBE !! ;-)

[@user-ch2lm5wh7q]

あんまり小さいフライ巻くと50歳過ぎると意味がなくなる

[@fionahamulton5774]

Nice video' but not a size 22

[@tightlinevideo]

I am curious as to why you would think that.

[@flyfishingeasternsierras8664]

Fiona Hamulton it is a 22. It's just 3xl so it has the length of a 16
