I have ALWAYS struggled with these parachute flies... This is the clearest demonstration I've ever seen. I cant wait to try it! Thank you!

[@rubythroat2258]

Nuts... I don't know how you can do this so smoothly in this size... you must be a master!!

[@thepisgahangler4788]

You are my favorite fly tier on you tube! I have learned how to tie many different flies watching your videos! You explain it so well as you go through the steps of tying! Thank you so much!

[@zenbooter]

The Pisgah Angler For these reasons I subbed.

[@oscarkody2753]

I guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

@Oscar Kody Instablaster ;)

[@oscarkody2753]

@Thiago Francisco thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@oscarkody2753]

@Thiago Francisco It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@NiNj4k0S]

Remarkable ! One of my favourite and most used flies. I have never tied it in that size of a hook. Maybe it's time. You are doing a perfect job with your videos guys! Keep it up and thank you for sharing!

[@loveniacannon3302]

This was a great beginners kit for a great price. kzbin.infoUgkxKRURvLsu9Vvyw7gIuvt8FsApoQNCdz-1 Its given us a huge variety to test out and see what works well and what we like to use. Majority of the flies have stayed together well, but some of the rainbow warriors did unravel after catching a few blue gill. All in all, this was a great kit and are so happy with the purchase and value for money.

[@josephh957]

I love tying this pattern! Only difference for me is that I whip finish around the post and then add a tiny bit of glue/cement to lock things in. Great videos, keep up the fantastic work.

[@68macun]

Wow what an awesome job

[@leemowers9395]

nice adams fly, thanks Tim

[@LastnLine50]

The super glue on the post is brilliant!

[@GeorgeSemel]

I keep a lot of those in my fly box, besides white for the post, I used Orange, Red and Yellow- I also will tie then in yellow, light and dark olive and black, The black on has saved the day for me on some very picky trout when the little black caddis are about, I have a dedicated box just for Adam's in the 18 to 24 sizes.

[@fullstrutn]

very good tip and great music too

[@onemorething100]

It can be so deceiving when you watch these videos. They look so big and easy to work with until you actually try tying them. I usually just pull out my credit card. HaHa

[@robertperman8967]

It’s even easier to go to the grocery store and buy trout🤣🤣🤣🤣!! But there’s no fun in that!!!

[@onemorething100]

[@Po.my.bro.69.420]

For the dubbing I just cut some muskrat fur and dub it straight on the thread it’s the perfect size and color and is naturally buoyant

[@danielk9439]

Gorgeous video

[@patrickp1846]

Excellent video. Thanks for the help.

[@tightlinevideo]

Excellent! That's what I like to hear.

[@nonsolopaolo]

Nice video... so useful ! BRAVO ! Best regards from ITALY and see you soon. Paolo

[@98dfree]

Amazing video, hit Vally Creek in Vally Forge National Park today. I was micro nymphing a awesome little juju baetis, cought 11 fish in an hour. Your Charlie Craven reference made me think of it. It would be nice to see you tie the pattern.

[@shire-lee]

6/0 thread on a 24 hook....are you insane???? lol great video mate!

[@tacticalskiffs8134]

Nice. A.K. said not to bother with mixing the tail. I always have, but on this size... I also don't like the white post. I might break it up a little with a marker, the same can be done with a grizzly rather than using two hackles.

[@ImBentley]

eased all my troubles, thanks

[@gravityalwayswins1434]

Superb. Video quality A+.

[@tightlinevideo]

I get materials from a number of sources but most of it comes from Shannon's Fly and Tackle in Califon, NJ. They have recently launched an online store.

[@MarceloJost]

Excelente videos! Top 2 along Davie McPhail. Congrats and keep the awesome work. Warm regards from Brazil.

[@alexst3333]

Again - best video!

[@joshuahunt1210]

Thank you so much.

[@zenbooter]

Class

[@tightlinevideo]

The words "fly tying" are in the keyword search of KZbin. The videos can be found that way.

[@snowboarddude117]

Awesome vid! Two questions: #1, what kind of Camera did you use to film this? #2, Can a pink bit of yarn be used instead of white for a bit more visability?

[@pwrcstr]

I would like some to take with me at my next trip to the German Eifel,Kyll river. About 30 will do the trick I think. Thank you! :-)

[@davemorton2804]

Tis tricky! lol can't find the stripped quill color I need and a size 18 thur 22 in a 101. but really the tie off is a fight every time.

[@donnacoffman5108]

Can you give a tour of your tying bench?

[@joshuahunt1210]

Where do you purchase your tying materials? Thank you and great work! Very inspirational to somebody new to this!

[@giovannivenanzi3040]

nice! greeting

[@calteamihai2990]

Hey, I have been looking for a "fly holder/presenter" for quite a few time. Does anyone have a link to the one in the video? A similar one would work too but I haven't managed to find one. Great fly tho :)

[@POWARENJA]

You have great videos but one thing, you might want to include "Fly tying" in your title, its no where to be found. I just stumbled upon this video but if someone was searching for fly tying videos it probably would not have shown up.

[@shakeyfly]

What whip finisher are you using that has that cutting thing on the bottom?

[@hugohamalainen2240]

The whip finisher that he uses has a little metal piece at the other end that he ground to a sharp edge

[@98dfree]

Articulated Streamer?

[@jamesiv960]

Love your stuff, could you tell me where you purchase your materials?

[@oliverkraft1532]

I have a problem with my parachute Adams. it never seems to stay up right, 9 out of 10 times it will land on its side and stay there, is this because I'm using a hook that is too light?

[@tightlinevideo]

Oliver Kraft It could be. More likely that the post is too tall or too heavy. First thing would be to use less material on the post, you really don't need much.

[@Flies_the_limit]

I'm just now getting confident on 18s lol 22? No thx. Not yet.

[@remingtonmiller6807]

Hahaha I know Charlie craven

[@lakestatebullies7391]

Put one more drop of zap a gap on the post before you wrap hackle

[@t_man785]

Could you use veevus brown in 16/0

[@tightlinevideo]

Absolutely, it's about the perfect thread for this fly. The video was made before I'd even heard of Veevus thread.

[@t_man785]

tightlinevideo yeah I'm going to slowly collect stuff for this fly instead of buying it all cause it's very expensive

[@Homegrownherbs]

How can you see that on the water

[@5xClay]

That white post makes it much easier than you'd think to see it. When I use small dries I almost always use parachutes because it's the only way I can see them haha.

[@SkidinDingo]

when i fish tiny flies, i watch for where they land, then try to follow the general spot (a circle 6 inches in diameter where i think the fly is) and if i see a swirl or anything in that circle i set the hook 80% of the time i hook a fish, 15% of the time i get nothing and just re cast, then 5% of the time i bugger something up and have to start the cast all over again/fix it

[@tightlinevideo]

#1 That's a bit of a secret. Sorry. #2 Sure, whatever is most visible in the light/water conditions you are fishing.

[@POWARENJA]

Oh my bad, sorry.

[@jacobstarr9010]

Jesus christ this pattern is expensive

[@gregschick12]

Hmmm.... if you're using size 22 hackle, to me that means you should be tying that parachute pattern on a size 24 hook.

[@corybeckmann8823]

Not necessarily. In sizes that small, it would make a very minimalistic difference, and probably make something that's extremely difficult more difficult than it already is.
