Love seeing you fish with your son Tim.

[@slickydicky]

It's crazy how the simplest fly patterns often work the best.

[@tightlinevideo]

So true!

[@badwizard1312]

Sometimes a fly that was meticulously tied will work better after it gets chewed up and looks nothing like the original.

[@slickydicky]

@@badwizard1312 yea, and one you take 20 minutes to tie will work for a few fish then might as well be thrown awat

[@RT42069]

Nice one. I just got into fly fishing for steelhead this last season on Erie tribs. Did pretty well, got a few for the smoker

[@Serioussam1215]

My old stomping grounds. I do miss fly fishing the area. Thanks for wonderful ties, knowledge, and wonderful fish footage.

[@WillTheFlyGuy]

Well I would like to go on that Hosted trip, if you can put up with me for a few days. I really enjoyed meeting you at the fly Tyers symposium back in November.

[@brianfeeney9493]

Thanks for taking me along on Your adventure and the fun Tutorial 🎉
🌟🎣💫

[@BigDukeX]

That was so simple even a Caveman could do it...😊

[@predatorking3131]

Think this would work in a tube fly configuration? Just tied up a few in a tube fly style and I think they might be money!

[@dianenorkus9906]

I would think the marabou would have lots of action. Any reason this wouldn't work on other species/conditions?

[@tightlinevideo]

I think it would work for just about every species including saltwater.

[@Flyfeesh]

Tim, I love the lightning strike hooks and am having a super hard time finding the 100 packs available at fly shops, both online and in person.
Any local fly shops you know of that carry them or online shops?

[@halibuthead183]

Hi Tim

[@petervarkala5674]

Question: I've only seen tyers use Maribou tips for flies. Would it be possible to utilize the lower discarded fibers to create an additional fly or 2? I know Maribou is not the priciest tying material but it always triggers my ocd to discard something that may have potential use factor. I'm guessing the lower fibers might not be super durable being no longer attached to a stem, but just curious, especially if you're going for a sparse fly with just a few fibers

[@tightlinevideo]

It is absolutely fine to use the lower fibers of Maribou in fact, I do it all the time.

[@zachhyleman9088]

I get three woolly buggers from a single maribou feather by doing exactly what you describe. I'm tying them either in size 6 or 10, so the stripped fibers are plenty long for the size 10s, and I save the longer tips for my size 6s.
