Buggy looking attractor and greatly appreciate your single handedly shepherding the return of surf music. Thanks.
So glad someone noticed. Kind of an homage to Lance the surfer from Apocalypse Now.
tightlinevideo Then it’s good the fly wasn’t developed by a guy named Charlie or else we would never had heard the music.
Excellent. "now somebody get me my 8'6" Yater Spoon" @@stevefamfive
Good idea to use saddle hackle and downsize 1 hackle size! Great closeup video on the tie in..
Great Fly, a real fish getter!
Nice mod of a Prince!
Really amazing fly. Can’t deny the effectiveness of the red dart.
Tim week in and week out you produce among the best instructional videos on the web. Thanks sir.
All of Lance’s patterns are top notch and this fly is no exception! I tied and fished it a ton this spring with great success. I really like the Peacock Herl substitution. I’ll have to give that a try on a few this spring. Excellent work as always Tim!
Yeah it works great for me too. I like to fish the red dart or blue dart on point and then a rainbow warrior as dropper. Guaranteed fish in the net.
Tied one of these up after watching your video and caught some bit fat wild creek browns on it my first time using it, thank you for the amazing flies and even better quality instruction!
I live across the river in PA and the streams I fish were flooded all year long. I used this fly as my anchor almost all year long because it worked so well. Great fly and great vid.
Nice looking fly. You are so right, we have had endless rain in the Northeast. The tail water I fish in Massachusetts is over flowing the dam and has been for months resulting in very high flow.
Excellent video, and some great tips on picking up the beads, securing the materials, etc. Well done!
I was at the fly fishing expo in Denver Colorado and I saw your tying both, and watched a tying demo
Hope you enjoyed the Denver show. I thought it was great this year, just like last.
It was awesome getting to meet you in Denver! Glad you got time to do another video. I cant believe that there are some people that downvote your videos. You literally make the best instructional videos ever!
Great looking fly. Definitely going to tie some of these up when I get home tonight.
Like Lance says and you echoed, this fly is a circus show. But, man does it catch fish! Great video!
Love that stretch of the Henry’s Fork
Tightlinevideos are the best
That was GREAT !!.. I LOVED that close up !!. Hope I can learn to tie like that !!!... THANKS
With the hackle application, the closest video zoom of a fly I've ever seen.
This was one of my first patterns I learned to tie. It catches alot of fish if fished as point. They also work great in blue. Or egan's blue dart. Except I tie my blue darts entirely in blue except for the pink dubbing collar.
An OD green bead looks good too. 👍
It looks just better with peacock herl. Thanks Tim!
I used this to nymph smaller MT water. Deadly, just deadly, especially on a two nymph euro setup.
One of my favorites i even had an Atlantic Salmon hit one this fall when i was fishing for rainbows
Thanks just started tying will try looks easy except for hackles
I believe Loon makes a head cement applicator like the one in the video. Also, one can buy what are called “Oiler Boilers” (why, I have no clue) at art supply stores.
You should do a tying demo of the clouser crayfish. Because I can't find an easy way to make it ride hook down while using the craft fur. Adding dumbell eyes makes it too bulky.
It is a Prince nymph minus the biot wings and tails.
Where did you get the dispenser for the Sally H
In your professional opinion, could you substitute a couple red goose biots and get the same effect as the red saddle?
Thanks for your videos. I’m new to tying and you have been a tremendous help!
Absolutely, in fact I think it would look great! Maybe just a little more time consuming to do.
tightlinevideo, thanks for the reply! I’ll be making some of these up soon! Just stopped at Joann fabrics to pick up some sulky this morning! I’ll be using barres hackle because that’s all I have in hand but I can’t wait to try out the pattern! Thanks again!
You tie all of your jig patterns with the Lighting Strike JF2 hooks, so you must like them. How is there sharpness and durability? Any other reason you go with those hooks?
Hi Tim, this may be in an earlier video (and if so my apologies for the laziness), but what is that little bottle that you use for the Hansen's? Thanks!
I tried Sally Hanson's H as N's: That stuff will get you high!!!

I had to sub small silver wire. I could not keep the pearl flashibou I was using from sliding all over the place. Anyone have similar issues or any advice?
You should list materials in the description. Hard to follow for beginners who have no idea what the materials actually are. I couldnt hear who sulky you used. Pearl or opal?
Hi, great video.. How would I go about contacting you about a possible sponsorship for your videos? Thanks
Is there a reason you omit the tippet ribbing that Lance uses?
As a competitive angler, Lance needs his flies to be absolutely bulletproof. Needing to change a fly because of damage during a competition can mean the difference between winning and losing. For me, a recreational angler, I am far more likely to lose a fly to the bottom before it is significantly damaged by a fish. So, I go with natural peacock as opposed to more durable dubbing and use just a single strand of Sulky to protect it and omit the tippet. I've yet to replace one due to damage.
@@tightlinevideo Thanks for the reply. That makes a lot of sense. Despite how effective the Blowtorch is I find myself not wanting to tie any because they take so long (similarly with the red dart). Using herl and omitting the tippet makes them much faster. I tied up a dozen red darts in this fashion yesterday and hopefully they will produce for me today.
I use a Ahrex FW551 mini jig # 10 or 14
Муха круть.
It would be much appreciated if you tied the big chungus fly.
Lances tails are much shorter on this fly
Yeah, I know. I think he also uses a secondary mono rib over the Sulky.
@@tightlinevideo i do find however your tying procedure is simpler to follow...thank you
