This is the best version of a pheasant tail ive seen

[@theduckaholicgamer7976]

I love tying nymph patterns, but this is one of the best ive seen in awhile! Cant wait to tie a few myself! Awesome video!

[@renaudbonneville]

You did an awesome job on that! I’ll have to try this variant.

[@jamesvatter5729]

Really like the look of this one, Tim!

[@kingfisherfd2]

This thing looks awesome. I like the light underbody and the squirrel dubbing loop really nice additions.

[@qf8637]

these videos are excellent... well described and easy to follow. thanks.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Yup all my favorite materials wrapped up into one fly . I like it :-)

[@robertpayne6781]

This might be my new favorite tightline tutorial!

[@johnshand6176]

Looks great for those big Tongariro River Browns. Thanks from down-under in NZ.

[@jimflynn466]

I won’t go past PT nymphs, this one’s a beauty, couple of nice tips in this video regarding tying. Thanks Tim.

[@timbartholomew2815]

I REALLY like that technique for the legs/thorax. I will be stealing that one!

[@billsmith539]

What a great fly! Outstanding Tim! Thanks.

[@benpack8361]

very high quality camera work. great pattern

[@joeduca8582]

Phreakin" phabulous Tim, good choice on that phine thread too. Thanks.

[@duderoony]

That’s an exceedingly nice pattern there Tim. Thank you for another one dude.

[@coadycorrigan]

How can anyone give this a thumbs down? Awesome pattern!

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

Thanks for the share. I'll have to tie some of those beauties!

[@40ozpunker]

Ahhhhhh it's so good and an effective fly. TY TL

[@freddyblock994]

Awesome variation! I've used pine squirrel dubbing in a split thread but want to try this out next for longer legs in thorax! Thanks Tim!

[@JohnRitson78]

Late to the table, I know, but this pattern is now going to become my go-to PTN for the UK trout. It encompasses a lot of variants in one pattern.

[@exacutionized]

another great video, thank you Tim

[@spinfish99]

looks like a great PTN variant. Love it

Nice pattern!

[@fishingwithc4587]

Very yummy for some trout!

[@69adrummer]

Going in to Valentines Day single and alone, I do an internet search for "Phat and Phunky" singles near me and this is what I get...oh well....

[@willrice2792]

69adrummer trust me you’re better off with the fly

[@Flyadventures]

Good idea. very interesting.

[@mazman8343]

Class my friend

[@christianwood7432]

Great pattern.

[@robthompson4649]

can I use rabbit zonker strip if I don't have Zonked Pine Squirrel?

[@Flies_the_limit]

Is this pattern your own creation tim?

[@LumocolorARTnr1319]

great video

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice and easy , I like it :-)

[@kroe8611]

Do you have a new Lens or what Makel me feel the Image is different, Tim?

[@j.lebowski3917]

Could I use a hare's mask to dub the body instead?

[@dutchflyfisher]

This is a beauty. What kind of instrument did you use at 6:04? Some kind of hackle players? Can you give me the right name of it? Tight lines and greetings from The Netherlands

[@patrickharris4641]

they're called plunger style hackle pliers

[@cesararley8109]

Fantastico👏

[@mikejames663]

Luv it.

[@chuckbright2238]

I tried tying fly's but you can't hold there legs together to tie them

[@anablakp3200]

I just use krazy glue bud.

Respekt !! Grus aus Bayern

Do you sell them?

[@jacobpriest]

Sweet pattern- the cdc tool could have made easier work for this pattern, but it’s not a tool everyone has

[@obagoacg]

👏👏👏👏

[@flyfishing2809]

ell me please. What hook numbers can be used?

[@WestEndAnglingTV]

Probably like 12-16 maybe 18

[@Vadim51rus81]

👍👍👍

[@coreymcgee8283]

What is the small flat edge tool he uses to cut the thread?

[@brianstevens3858]

Probably the sharpened butt end of his whip finisher, I do that to all mine, makes a nice cutoff for close.
