Just to let you know,,, I used your video to tie my very first fly :) tks
11 years already and still this video is one of the best. Excellent looking fly. It's perfect
Using the wire to reverse the direction of the tying thread… oh so simple and oh so Genius…I‘m so glad I found your videos!
Almost ten years old and this is probably the best video I have found for a new fly tieing like myself. Thanks!
new fly tier here (as in brand new), I get a lot of tips out of your videos. Little stuff like hooking a styrofoam cup as it's coming off the vise for drying. It pobably doesn't seem like a big deal to folks that have been doing it for years, but it folded my brain in half. so simple and super-useful.
Just a tip because I think it helps a lot, add all the materials on the description so we can quickly see what to buy. I’m always watching the whole video in my local shop running around trying to remember the supplies 😂 thanks for the videos though!
Prepare better
You are the Bob Ross of fly tying man! All your videos are just relaxing. Amazing!
That thread trick with the body and thorax is a good one. I had not seen it done until I watched your videos. Thanks!
This very fly had me putting on a clinic a few weeks ago, catching more trout than I could count while my buddy looked on in frustration (he refused to take off his dry). Thanks for the pattern.
The pheasant tail in the video is from Wapsi and is carried by many online stores. They come in packs of two feathers and each has enough for dozens of flies. In addition to the natural color, try some of their dyed pheasant tails, they make great looking nymphs. Glad you like the videos.
I really want to learn making flies . My grandfather always did it and I just got into fly fishing .
You offer some of the best instruction on fly tying on you tube. Thanks so much for what you offer:-)
Classic! Great detail in the instructions here - thanks! 🎣
This is a Great looking nymph. Thank you for the tutorial.
I just spent the evening making these on size 14s. These were such a delight to make. Thank you!
Well what did you think? Fran could flat out tie a fly. While in college I went down to the Adirondacks to watch him tie, I was running late and missed him by 15 minutes. Something I'll always regret. He was a master.
what a great video. Not only learning how to tie this fly but so many cool tips. Thanks Mon, I am Grateful.
Thanks Mike, glad you liked it.
An excellent variation on the original English pattern. Really enjoyed this. Thanks :-)
caigt a nice sized 23" rainbow trout on this fly,many thanks to your fly instructions tightlinevideo!!
Some excellent tying techniques learned from this video, thanks. Just can't go wrong with a classic, thanks for sharing.
Mike
I so look forward to these tutorials they are just outstanding
There is one on RUclips of Fran Betters himself tying the Ausable Wulff, what more could your want? It's called "Fran Betters Ties the Ausable Wulff" Seriously, this may be my favorite tying video on all of RUclips. That said, the Ausable Wulff is one of my favorite flies and is on the list to tie on video.
This fly fooled a nice 24 bow the other day. When all other flies were ignored it was this natural fiber and looking fly that nailed it. Gonna tie some up now.
Note that you most certainly want to put the back end of the wing case over the last wire wrap. If you don’t the legs will be long. I did this on my first attempt.
Great tying mate, good tip on thread direction.
I like this in a size 18-22. Just a perfect dropper after a hopper or trailing a stonefly. Great video!
This has worked for me better than hare's ears... a very good subsurface pattern.
One of the simplest deadliest pattern I have ever used...I know some guys will swear by prince nymphs and hare's ears...but this one has caught me almost every river / creek specie from brookies, rainbows, browns and a bunch of small mouth bass....basically my starter fly....
I tied a few of these flies. I trailed this fly behind an emerger pattern conducive with the rivers hatch. Using 5X tippet about 4-5' long I hicksticked this combo in fast water. Fish slammed this fly. Excellent!! I use your other fly tying patterns as well.
Excellent. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial, lots of nice little tricks.
I just tied this as my first fly. ^_^ thanks for the video it came out great
Thank you. Great Video. 👍
Very good, nice instructions and fly.
I really need to tie up a ton of these. I always run out when on the water and a lot of times they are the most effective... gonna do some on a curve shank hook i think
great video and instruction!
cheers and merry christmas
What a great tutorial! Well done.
I like this pattern!
Nice job. Thanks for sharing. I shall start with #14 down to #18 for Grayling
Crystal flash wing casing with a copper bead. Use the natural pheasant for the thorax (not the peacock) and use red rooster hackle through the thorax for legs. Size of the hook and the length of the tail is everything. Use the measurements of Phi for your tail and body size. Use a foam strike indicator up your line 12 to 24 inches to fish shallow spring creeks. For fishing on sight there isn't a better fly. It's easy to cast and drift.
Clear and concise, than you.
I would, just to keep the overall proportions the same but it really is a matter of taste. To me, pheasant tails just look a bit better when they are long and lean.
Nice pattern, rides higher and good when midges are on the water, small size.
I love your videos
Very detailed !
Ran into you at the Denver fly show thanks for the pmd nymph. Love the videos keep up the good work.
Hi Tim, another outstanding tutorial, I learn alot from you and your guest tyers. I think your tying is only surpassed by your videography, which is among the best on RUclips. Too bad you missed Fran Betters tying. He's sort of a hero mine. When I started tying in the 90's I heard of him and the Ausable R. so my girlfriend and I took our first vacation there in Wilmington and stayed at the chalet at the KOA. (I told her this was our "honeymoon") After settling in we went directly to his shop. Wow, what a place, you could smell the history or maybe it was the mounted black bear that greeted you on the way in.
Anyway we returned every year for a few years at different seasons for iso hatch and so on. What a learning experience. That river is like an entomology lab! I bought his tying manual and another of his books and had him sign them. I also asked his advise on tying and he picked out some awesome materials to tie his flies and some flies he recommended for landlocks that were farther north in a river who's name escapes me. I still have an Ausable Wulff, haystack, and a Green Highlander tyed by him, all treasured. When I asked him how to tie the flies like he does he told me "Joe, just make them look buggy". His tyes certainly do and that's been my guide since. By the way I have seen that video of him on RUclips. Oh, the last time we went to the shop he had taken ill and a woman there said he couldn't have a visit, he was laying down in back. He passed away a while after that.
like the styro cup idea gonna use it
Да круто получилось, ничего не скажешь.
thank you for best videos!
Excelente video, saludos de Chile.
Amazing! Great job explaining this lethal fly.
You make amazing Videos keep up the good work..
Timeless...!
Thank you🤝
If I had to fish with only 2 flies in my fly box the first would be the PT nymph and the second would be the H/C nymph in various sizes.
Great clip thank you for sharing.
Excellent looking fly. Do you also do these with a bead?
Bravo
Bravo!
Can flexi floss make a decent rib for these? I don’t have copper ultra wire right now but I figured it could look good with a black rib
That's a fantastic nymph. Even greater tied by you! A masterpiece. I'm looking for the tool you use for cutting the tying thread. Do you sell them? Do you know where to buy them?
Hey Tim! Why do you use head cement sometimes and Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails other times? Maybe this is obvious, but I'm new to fly tying.
Se agraden las explicaciones precisas y el enfoque del video que permite ver con claridad como realizar el atado.
Very nice video. I can't find dark brown pheasant tail, what would you use to dye one? Thanks.
Wish I had that problem, cannot find natural. Plenty of dark brown and black...
nice!!
OK, question for you. I followed your video and have noticed something different in mine. My pheasant tail sticks to gether and yours perfectly flairs out. No matter what tail or color I try, the soft tail fibers stick to each other. Am I some how buying the wrong stuff ???
If you switched up sizes to say a 14, or even a 12, would you still use a 2x long hook?
Any tricks to working and holding pheasant tail together on hook. I have large hands and it’s been tough to keep it together
Thank you for the great videos! This is a classic nymph that I commonly use bead-headed. What bobbin do you use?
Rite bobbin in various sizes. The brass armed one is the standard and the other size is the half hitch bobbin. Both great I use the standard with size 16 and smaller
Hi Tim if you added a tungsten bead would you tie it the same way?
Can you tie these in larger sizes
Hello, new to this all. Which head cement do you use here?
Could you make a video on a Ausable Wulff? I haven't seen any on RUclips
Could i use peacock herl in substitute of pheasant tail?
Do you have a peacock eye? If so, I'd take some fibers off it to form the tail, the body of the fly, and the wing case. And use the peacock herl where you'd normally use it. Instead of using the remaining wing case fibers to form the legs, snip the remaining wing case fibers and use some sort of dubbing. I find that a red synthetic dubbing works really good with this pattern.
Be careful not to crowd the hook eye
with tungsten is gud
fantastic lesson, absolutely must lose the techno music though

This is a UK nymph
Oh wow, I guess i didn't look very hard...
