Brilliant use of the tag.

[@t_man785]

Love that technique on how to splay the tail.

[@t_man785]

@@cedricporter86 I do not care.

[@christophercollins2330]

Thank you for all the information, it's a big help for me as I'm just starting out tying flies. You make it look easy with attention to details.

[@NewEnglandStreamers]

Fantastic looking fly! Well tied! 🎣

[@duderoony]

Nice tie Tim and one I’ll have a go at. Thank you.

[@stepheno3159]

I love these videos please continue to make more

[@jserra17]

Great video and I will definitely try out the technique for tying the tail this week. I’ve been substituting a foam loop for the CDC with good results. Fished at the end of a rig with a bead head or just another midge imitation with one or two small shot, the foam causes the fly to rise up in the water column as a fish would expect to encounter an emerging midge.

[@mikeking453]

I agree,cool technique on doing the tail!

[@slickydicky]

Looks good, I need to tie a dozen or so

[@RodMurray]

What are the advantages of using the straight eye hook as opposed to standard dry fly hook, in general and specifically with this pattern?

[@julianm4966]

Tim, can you do a video on a coffin fly pattern?

[@brooktroutangler5917]

you still use cdc for the wing if you fish it as a nymph.......or use z-lon etc?

[@deeejaaay8518]

whats the music playing in the background

[@JeremY01122]

Best tying videos I have ever watched love your content. In the market for a new vise can you do a video on vise pros and cons cost and effectiveness. Thanks, Or send me one I’m sure you have many lol

[@oceanexploration]

Kelly Galloup did a video on vises. Here's the first of two on the subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGWQoJp7Ypp6kLs

[@TheAkersty]

Great technique Tim. The segmented look of the body looks great. Going to try this soon. Can the RS2 be used as a wet and dry fly?

[@anakinvalentin1269]

You probably dont care at all but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

[@maxtonfletcher8436]

@Anakin Valentin instablaster :)

[@anakinvalentin1269]

@Maxton Fletcher I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@anakinvalentin1269]

@Maxton Fletcher it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account!

[@maxtonfletcher8436]

@Anakin Valentin No problem xD

[@brooktroutangler5917]

RS2 again?

[@coreystoner4129]

Another one that I can’t keep in my box in Compton’s cinnamon toast. Sucker is deadly

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

I hot to sit with Rim and tie these and other fly it was fun. His secret was he was an andler.

[@petek1pml746]

If you dont have cdc and may never use it again, what other winging materials would you consider?

[@chrismac7691]

pete langevin ep fibre, calf tail etc. Why would you never use cdc again?

[@petek1pml746]

Don’t tie enough trout flies to justify buying cdc.

[@superfuzz81]

I use CDL for the tail...much easier.

[@NarrowRoad4Jesus]

Never seen someone use so many tools. Nice fly though.

[@farmerbob4554]

I like it cuz it looks like a bug.

[@waynegraff3942]

I usually like your videos. This video took a very simple pattern to tie and made it more complicated than need be.

[@wyomingtrout5581]

I like your techniques Tim but Rim's original tie which includes a darker thorax is preferred and more realistic

[@JWBrewer73]

What is this “take wraps...?” Not the English language that I was taught.
