Fly Tying Organization TIPS with GUEST Landon Mayer!

[@ronporreca9574]

Great tips, Tim an Landon! I use wire keychains in the same manner as the carabiner for all kinds of materials. It works very well for flash. I snip a bottom corner of the bag and pull out strands as needed. No need to even take them off of the wire. I have also been using the Storehouse 25 box storage system from Harbor Freight for hook and bead storage. I have a simple thermal label maker that I can use to label each individual box for easy identification. A great way to store dubbing is to make your own dubbing boxes also. I use the Lost Creek 18 compartment plastic boxes for this and drill holes in the bottom. A bag of dubbing fits perfectly into the compartments.

Thanks for the excellent suggestions, Ron. Let me know when you're ready to help me organize my tying materials! ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@FryFlier]

Thank you for the Tips, Tim and Landon. So far the material at my place is contained in "The Room" readily available for as soon as I can find it....lol

[@TimCammisa]

Hi Gary, and thanks for the kind words! It sounds like you and I have similar organizational styles...notice how I didn't show any images of my tying locations. HA HA! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@johnleahy4604]

Thanks for the ideas on organizing I like the one with the pouch.

[@TimCammisa]

Hi John, that's a great one Landon shared...and makes my plastic Ziploc bags look pitiful! HA HA! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

Huge fan of Landon's flies. Already both feet in a storage system for hooks but the baseball card sheets is a good idea.

[@TimCammisa]

Thanks, Matt, it was a lot of fun recording with Landon. Did you catch our first video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWSqeoKPnrCZbqs Tim

Awesome tips & advice,for newer tiers walk into a fly shop & the patterns available & materials can blow 1's mind,ditto with the internet 🤯 my advice is 3 fold simplify,start slow & don't compare,figure out what your local species are tie for those,simple patterns first,ease into it & your not anyone else you have your own style work with that,tight lines & bent rods 🤘

[@TimCammisa]

[@ColorfulCOFlyFishing]

I need this 😂

[@TimCammisa]

You and me both! Which tip resonated most with you? Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@ColorfulCOFlyFishing]

@@TimCammisa probably the one to keep materials organized

[@jamesvatter5729]

My bench is in the spare bedroom, but it is carpeted. Those "bouncy and invisible" hooks that fly off the bench become a real problem!

[@FryFlier]

Same as my setup, my setup also includes hands and knees with a led headlamp and magnet.

[@TimCammisa]

I know exactly what you mean, James! Then it's time to turn to this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4epgoJ7hb17baM ;-) Tim

[@derekfoland1440]

Great tips. One question, I would assume that when he is making the pattern pouches, he is pulling the materials from a stock location. Or is he purchasing specifically to fill the pattern pouch? I could see a lot of patterns sharing materials.

[@TimCammisa]

Hi Derek, and that is really up to each individual tier. I tend to pull from a stock location for my pouches, but that's because I have a rotating array of patterns that I tie at fly fishing shows and events around the country. I also believe that many tiers may simply have a pouch or container for each pattern, especially those who only tie a handful of flies. Hope that helps and would love to know the direction you take it! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@dennismutz8221]

Lol, oldest son got a hook in his foot when he was about 6yo. Still cringes when he sees a deer hair mouse. He's in his 40s now.

[@TimCammisa]

Oh gosh, it's those types of memories we'll never forget. I may have organized a fly box in bed one night...and perhaps even dropped a fly or two! ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com

Hobby lobby here I come

[@TimCammisa]

Exactly! Landon and I better ask for a sponsorship from them...soon! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

OCD is a real mental health diagnosis, and it is a debilitating nightmare. It's personal for me, and it affects 3% of the population. Please scrub casual OCD references from your vocabulary. Thanks! And thanks so much for your amazing channel!

[@TimCammisa]

Thanks for the kind words and for taking a moment to let me know. Those references will not be made in the future. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
