Nice fly! 8 shimmers, 15 legs, 4 bead colors, 7 wire ribbing colors... I get 3,360 combinations of flies. Sizes 12 to 24 puts us at 23,520. Better start tying...

[@dannyl.wellington4073]

Mud hole tackle has the extra bobbins. Reasonable priced.

[@dannyl.wellington4073]

They run about 4.95 each

[@lostfedexman]

Thanks! Just bought one

[@utahflyguy1612]

Tim, another outstanding video. For my money, the best on the internet. I sing your praises and recommend your videos to my fly tying friends all the time. Have you ever considered attending any of our fly tying expos out here in the wild, wild west? Idaho Falls, Boise, Salt Lake City, etc? Once again, thanks for the great videos and inspiration.

[@mikeney5113]

Great pattern Tim.i tied up half dozen and hit the water,man I tell ya they catch fish.thsnks for sharing

[@kevinpeters9867]

I'll have to share this one with the fly guy at the bait shop. Beautiful work.

[@szymonlux8700]

It's a really great idea to add the rubber tail to a perdigon-type nymph. I will surely try it in April when the trout season starts.

[@joshhigdon4951]

killer looking pattern! I can't wait to tie this one up

[@gyoung1455]

Just as tasty as the one you tied for us on Sunday. It was great to meet you!

[@flyfishingeasternsierras8664]

I have watched and benefitted greatly from all of your videos. I love your account and want to thank you for all your helpful, detailed instructions . Would you please consider making videos for a mosquito, psycho prince or a schroeder's parahopper? I think all three are very effective and once again want to thank you for making so many people great at tying flies.

[@Cheechfisher0311]

Great work Tim. Great to meet you at Somerset.

[@jimroddy77]

Great videos! I've learned a lot from watching them. Thanks!

[@danhartman7759]

Watch this video a couple of times this morning. Great detail and commentary -- you always do! Will add it to my "flies to tie" list. I use Sulky on occasion but didn't know there was a wide bobbin that would hold the spools. Can't find any reference on the web. Any suggestions as to where to look for one. Thank you.

[@Qweeds]

I will love to try this out in the small creeks and rivers.

[@polaire801]

This looks like a variation of the perdigon fly patterns. I've had some good luck with an orange holo-tinsel body with a chartreuse hot spot collar. I'll have to try it with the rubber legs!

[@the.tricky.outdoorsman]

just ordered some material for this fly. will be here in a few days. can't wait to fish it.

[@travisrowsell761]

hay love your vidows got me into taying flys and loving it hed ctskils in spring was tips on flys would good and esaly tind thanks for all help

[@t_man785]

Try the thread that's for the kaleidoscope midge on it also or veevus body quill

[@tailsthewolf123]

It'd be cool to see you or Matt tie one of the old super intricate salmon flies like the ballyshannon classic lol

[@buzzo83]

I follow with great interest your videos that have made me grow as a manufacturer of flies ... but I did not understand whether it is possible to use this imitation even into rivers/streams or only in lakes as imitations of midges thanks and congratulations

[@christianwood7432]

Love it. ...and all your vids. Any suggestions where i could get one of those bobbins?

[@deadlyshark5439]

Guessing you have 8 kinds of thread, 20 kinds of rubber, 4 kinds of hooks paired with 4 bead colors, and 7 kinds of wire, it comes out to be about 17920 different kinds

[@amytremback3908]

Great video

[@eugenewalk4601]

Tim, is the 7/64 bead correct for this fly? Is it too big for a size 18 hook?

[@mvalbano]

Tim, who makes the large bobbin you use for the sulky? Thanks!

[@Qweeds]

the fly looks very effective overall the fish that eat small insects like bluegill, brown and rainbow trout, and maybe even some small mouth and largemouth Bass!

[@robertdean6817]

Considering just what was shown in the video (and ballparking the centipede leg varieties at 12), I’m getting the following: 8 sulky colors 12 centipede leg colors 4 hook sizes 4 bead colors 7 wire colors This would yield 8x12x4x4x7 = 10752 possible combinations.

[@ralphripper201]

according to Google the lightning strike jig hooks do not exist. anybody know where to get them?

[@jmchugh5224]

I have always been tying flies, but I would like to start tying nymphs and dry flies. What materials would you recommend to tie nymphs and dry flies for eastern U.S trout

[@joshhigdon4951]

J Mchugh I'm not tightline, but I do fish the south east. for starting out, you can't go wrong with peacock herl rabbit dubbing copper wire pheasant tail mallard flank feathers various beads lead wire (if wanted) tungsten beads are good Those are a few basics to get you started and will cover most patterns on the fly. once you get flies like the zug bug, pheasant tail, copper johns, and hares ears, you'll move on to more intricate patterns (if you want). but those will cover almost any situation.

[@turley22ful]

Hey Tim, who is the maker of that resin pen you use? Seems super handy.

[@tightlinevideo]

Bondic. Readily available on Amazon.

[@tylerlb4442]

love it !!where can I pick up that thread ?

[@tailsthewolf123]

Tyler Brewer pretty much every craft store should have some. Try the sewing sections

[@tylerlb4442]

thanks so much !!

[@dylansmothermon8347]

Where could I find those hooks online? I love your videos and have probably seen all of them. Thx

[@adamg7984]

J. Stockard carries Lightning Strike jig hooks in 25 or 100 packs. www.jsflyfishing.com/lightning-strike-jf2-barbless-60-degree-jig-fly-hook If that doesn't work for you or if they're out of stock on this size you want, just punch JF2 Lightning Strike Jig Hooks into google and you'll find them i'm sure.

[@aaronwest1527]

This thread is difficult to find at fabric stores. I have found green and red but not blue

[@ryanwilson5936]

Aaron West Try Jo-Ann fabric. My local store has an entire display of Sulky.

[@biologistangler7901]

Is the bondic the same as Loon Outdoors UV fly finish? I've been using the Loon Outdoors stuff and it doesn't work well for me. The finish doesn't stay clear and can get cloudy and translucent, almost opaque, often before the nymphs are even used. If I only use it for wing cases, the bead I put on it sometimes just pops off. It can pose a problem when I coat whole nymphs with it as well, like on zebra midges or nymphs like this and it will hide or discolor the materials. I don't always use it for this reason, and wonder if it is even necessary or makes a difference with durability. Does this ever happen when you use the bondic?

[@jordanhirsch6484]

Biologist Angler coat the fly with whatever kind of UV cure . After you cure it put a quick coat of either Sally Hansens hard as nails or hard as hull cement . It will make it really glossy and it will make it so the fly doesn't get cloudy .

[@bradkohlbrecher9059]

Where can you find the oversize bobbin?

[@tightlinevideo]

www.mudhole.com/Extra-Large-Thread-Bobbin

[@TonyTredway]

Where do you find lightning strike hook?

[@tightlinevideo]

www.shannonsflytackle.com Has them. They are not in the online store yet so call them.

[@newbrunswickflytying9420]

That would put you somwhere around 2600 but i know there are other bead coulors, most likley somwhere around 8,600- 10,000 based on bead coulors iv seen in my searching

[@joemarquez1201]

We're can I get some sulky at

[@tightlinevideo]

Most craft and sewing stores carry it. Michaels, Joann Fabrics and the like.

[@kennethpaduch1929]

I've never even considered using sulky as tying thread

[@Ronon805]

August 14, 2021... Hmmm, my Dad has been wanting to learn how to make lures and flys, let's have a look. (Check reply for after video comment)

[@Ronon805]

Never watched a video of lure making before. Good voice, good cuts, great content. Thanks for sharing.

[@lovetheoutdoors9485]

Your far better off using empty thread spools and spooled them. It's what I did for my holoshimmers.
