You are my favourite video fly tying instructor , I usually get a minimum of one or more super helpful tying tips. I sharpened up the butt of my Materelli whip finisher about ten years ago and find it a real time saver every time I sit down at my bench. 👍

[@jamesvatter5729]

Great looking tie, Tim. These non-typical patterns that incorporate few materials are something I appreciate. Thanks for sharing.

[@BryanWentFishing]

Wow, such an easy tie and it looks so buggy. Another nice tying video, keep it up!

[@ksnydr554]

Tim, Thank youn so much for what you do I have the utmost admiration for your talents. You are helping me to become a better tyer.

[@romerooutdoors3948]

I tied a bunch of these and they work amazing up here in Oregon. I caught a handful of rainbows this evening. I was also blessed with the opportunity to harvest a couple wood ducks last season so I just so happen to have the flank feathers readily available. Thanks for the awesome pattern!

[@wetonwet3655]

Romero Outdoors same pattern with silver rib but mallard flank

[@barryfoster8859]

What ya arch the wood ducks on?

[@borsey]

Excellent pattern & such a great tip on that thread reversal. Thanks for sharing Tim.👊

[@matboyrd]

Yeah, I liked that one as well. This channel is excellent for shortcuts and tips.

[@duderoony]

Tim. What an absolutely super fly. And, tied just right so we can see how it works. Thank you for another great tie dude.

[@brendonhoagland2887]

Hey Tim, after fly fishing for over 10 years (I'm 18), i have found that especially in the KLG, a woven body stonefly in sizes 8-10 is deadly in the late spring and early summer. If you want the materials, talk go Jim and I'll be glad to show you this amazing pattern.

[@brendonhoagland2887]

I do tie it slightly different than others to match the color morphs seen in the SBR.

[@69adrummer]

Love all your videos Tim!! Hope you and your family are doing well. Be well!!

[@robertperman8967]

Very nice!! Tight lines🕷️🐛🐜!!!!$

[@MrBrysie]

Great, simple nymph. Thanks for posting. Best wishes from the UK. Hope you are keeping safe!

[@alkinceratfafterthefly6284]

Sweet!! It's unbelievable how many applications the wood duck flank is used for.

[@johnshand6176]

Love your fly tying and especially natural-looking flies like the Wood Duck Nymph. Will tie a few up with substitute feathers as we don't have any Wood Ducks.Thanks from down-under in NZ

[@jeffnotti9932]

now THAT is a real nice traditional fly .. love it

[@scottnock5241]

Tim I love that pattern!!! Thanks will try on the vice today!!!

[@patches152]

Tim, would you consider doing some audio book reading? i don't care what you read, anything is good.

[@feckineejit1]

You make it look so easy, I always have problems tying in the legs but will have to try this way and see if it helps

[@srcesq]

This looks great, am ordering some wood duck flank feathers now!

[@JoeMairo]

I looked up buggy in the dictionary and there was a picture of this fly :) As always, awesome video.

[@roberta.k4213]

Great pattern. I think I’m gonna modify it a bit and turn it into a wet. Thx for posting!!

[@wyomingtrout5581]

Tim, I am surprised you don't rip the feathers off at the head like you do for your tiny PTN, instead you use your scissors? Nice thread movements, I have studied a lot of tiers but the way you tie off the reverse ribbing material is unique to you. I am going to tie up a bunch to imitate our PMD nymph.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

No wood duck , I bet mallard flank would work . Thanks for the video

[@andrewsadler202]

Used mallard dyed wood duck to make some gold bead head versions two years ago? Thanks for the video, a good reminder to tie up a few more!

[@jofishflies6832]

Another great video! Thanks you.

[@trails4all]

Thanks for the counter wrap trick, reversing the thread to capture the wire so it doesn't loosen.

[@davidburnham794]

That gave me a major woody!

[@dahutful]

Great flight, Tim thanks. I have read that may fly nips, we may or near emergence will have dark colored Winkies birds. It might not hurt to hit the Winkies with a dark marker or a dark color nail polish.

[@alfonsagelwei5280]

Now I know why you can't find woodduck flank anywhere in this country. Tim, have you picked up every feather in the US? Just kidding (kinda). Very nice tie.

[@raymondtucker312]

Superb fly.

[@Check-Your-Fly]

Looks like a Major Woody 2.0! Lol!

[@hankvana2149]

Beautiful!!!

[@davidthomas5035]

"Out the Wazoo." This is a good looking pattern.

[@aaronmiller6118]

Where do you get your wood duck flank?

[@zenbooter]

I’m from NJ now living in East Kentucky. I used to know a guy too.

[@pasarea999]

Amazing

[@icedaft]

Is the Woodduck stiffer than Mallard flank Feathers? Woodduck is so expensive, almost 1€/Feather so i try Mallard dyed Woodduck but i don't get a nice result...

[@awflyfishing]

Awesome👏👍

[@user-yu8uf9sn5k]

Too cool 👌

[@tummy_fritters]

elegant

[@secondlife5704]

Tim is this Wood Duck dyed yellow? Looks yellow on my computer..anyone care to comment?

[@marcod591]

Second Life I think it looks a little more yellow-tan than what I have too.

[@hankvana2149]

I have wood duck flank from several different birds (my friend duck hunts) and the colors range from very pale tan (an off-white) to a fairly dark warm (yellowish) tan. Seems that (guessing here) that the darker flank feathers come from more mature (older) birds.

[@schmoonkie]

I'd also be interested in the Wood Duck Flank Feather used to tie this fly. I'd like Tim to comment on where to get this feather and some details on what to order.

[@chappelloutdoors8817]

What kind of camera do you use

[@christreftz2766]

Love this pattern but I struggle to tie it. Fingers need more practice tying small flies

[@cjanderson66]

great another video where everyone buys all the feathers and you can't find them anywhere....Thanks

[@tightlinevideo]

I’m from New Jersey, so I know a guy.

[@cjanderson66]

tightlinevideo so I now know a guy who knows a guy?

[@mikekuczynski1552]

I think that guy moved to Montana

[@brhino1017]

Major Woody wannabe.
