Fly fishing for beginners can be difficult at first, thus be sure to stick with it and ask others for advice. If in the need for some helpful tips and other fly tying and fly fishing information, be sure to check out my "Trout and Feather" accounts on Facebook and Instagram...

Tim, when are you going to tie a fly on your own channel again? I enjoy your guest tiers, but I really enjoy you tying and explaining your own flies. All the best, Say hi to Heather and Angelo for me. Uncle John too. Sean

Thanks for the comment, Sean, and I hope all is going well with you. I love tying (as I do nearly nightly), and also want to do my best to get others and some of their favorite patterns out there. In the next few weeks, I have a couple new videos coming out, and it will be just me. Trust me, by that time you'll be sick of just hearing me again! ;-) Tim
