Nice tying,nice and simple but effective 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@The_MooseWhisperer]

Thanks again! This tutorial made it so easy to follow along and tie. I just saved myself so much money. One of these patterns sells for $2.99 CAD at my local fly shop. I just bought all the supplies and 25 hooks for around $35 CAD including the wax as well. Some of the supplies like the milking egg, thread and wax will last me years and the two foams i bought will last me hundreds of flies it seems.

Of course, the biggest lie in fly tying is that it will save you money. ;-)

[@flowflyfishing2131]

Another great video. Thanks.

[@tyronarmstrong6883]

I really enjoyed the video. I’m hoping to start tying my own flies soon.

[@kevinpeters9867]

this works really well on farm trout as well.

[@shaycarey8603]

Cool fly 😄

[@nickcowan7056]

Can you make a video of a how you record your tying videos and your camera setup!!

[@billruland1494]

Just FYI, his setup is how he makes his living. It's a trade secret. Why would he share it? As you might have observed, Tim's videos are the best on RUclips, there is, in my opinion, nobody that comes close. So just enjoy them and learn.

[@reelphatties6426]

Nicely done

[@eunicehernandez8329]

really cool

[@billruland1494]

For me, Loon's High Tack Swax is very sticky. I have more luck applying it with a toothpick instead of just rubbing it on the thread from the container.

[@mcbdroid]

Tim, great video tutorial, thank you. Would tying the veil off on both sides of the yolk be of any value?

[@JRegerWVOH]

Check out the eggs over easy

[@edperry4235]

Another great vid. Do you ever tie these with added weight?

[@tightlinevideo]

I rarely add weight to any egg pattern. I'll use a sink tip line, split shot or a second weighted fly to get them down. I like eggs flies to be neutrally buoyant so they drift more naturally. That said, there are a ton of weighted egg patterns out there that produce a lot of fish.

Big fan and plz send me and I know it’s a long shot but plz send me some marabou I can’t find any in stores here in Wisconsin

[@gardnerwebb3749]

What brand nipper did you use?

[@tightlinevideo]

Orvis, worth every penny. They last for years of heavy use.

[@gardnerwebb3749]

@@tightlinevideo thanks! I just ordered the ergo 🤞

[@the.tricky.outdoorsman]

wow, thirty years ago? you sound to only be in your late 20s or mid 30s. great pattern, just tied a few

[@nicedreamz7102]

A angle rips it’s own wings off every time someone hooks their hook into their rods cork handle or rod eyelet

[@Destral02]

Good to hell with the obtuse angles.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

"Take wraps."...... grammar's not really a thing in fly tying is it?

[@austinhorner98]

Why you hating?
