Go for it, Ross, the fly is a winner! Once you've tied and fished the pattern, report back with your thoughts and how the fish responded. Thanks and Happy New Year! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
I know his leech works well. That electric caddis is a winner, so I suspect that midge will be super. I can't wait to try that sink it spinner. Sounds like a trifecta!
Seriously, I know, James! I just got his book and it's good so many excellent ideas and tips. I really liked how Landon shared the non slip loop knot trick for his spinner in this video! If you're thinking about getting his book, here's a link for more info: amzn.to/3Hg8nRg Thanks, and here's to a GREAT 2022! Tim
Thanks for the comments, James, and you should be able to pause on the sections where we showed the patterns. However, you know the best way to see them? Either find Landon at a fly fishing show...or buy a copy of the book. ;-) Here's a link: amzn.to/3pJjZ9n Thanks and Happy New Year! amzn.to/3pJjZ9n
Agreed, Mike, and here's something I didn't share in the video: We actually filmed TWO and I'll be releasing the second video in early spring. ;-) Thanks for the comments and I hope all is well. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa I like the loop knot also. I tie my streamers or nymphs with the same knot to give them a little better movement. I also liked the idea of tying a tag line to a streamer. I will have to try that! Only thing I hope is that it doesnt foul hook fish...
Great educational video Tim. I've enjoyed Landon's articles in the mags for years, he had a "juicy" egg pattern that I think used estaz in the color buttered rum (or some outlet called it butter scotch). It may have had a veil of dubbing, maybe ice dub? Anyway it looked so real I'd eat it... without the hook :o) That sunk spinner is great idea. I believe in pulling flies under the surface, something I learned from Fran Betters' book and proved it by fishing the Usual like that. That's why I have confidence in certain emergers I fish. You picked a very special guest for this one. Thanks Tim and Landon, hope you both have a great New Year.
Hi Joe, and great to hear from you! We had fun with this video...and have another one that will be released early spring. Happy New Year to you and hope to talk soon! Tim
Howdy Tim . I enjoyed your article in fly tyer magazine... I am tying some subtle blue Pheasant tails ..I am curious to see how they perform this winter. Tying with hotspot material does make it more interesting at the bench...How was NJ ..I hope to make it there someday peace
Hi and thanks for the kind words re: the article...it's been well-received and I'm happy to help! Those hot spots, they're something else. You'll have to let me know how they work for you. IFTS was a great time, it's my favorite show every year. Thanks again and talk soon. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa lol, yes it is and I will pick up his book. Love your work it really means a lot to me. And I have learned so much over the months. I believe I found you during Covid. Again thanks for all you doing and hope the family is doing well 👍
For your pine squirrel, the ostrich herl. Who makes the fluffiest ostrich? I find this so hard to find! due to this when i cant find it I just peg the pin squirrel which always crushes
Clayton, when it comes to natural materials, it can be tricky! I have actually found some incredible herl on a feather duster I purchased from a store. In another case, I purchased some online (sight unseen) via eBay and was pleasantly surprised. In the fly tying world, Nature's Spirit herl has been excellent for me: competitiveangler.com/shop/body-materials/feathers-hackle/natures-spirit-ostrich-herl-plume/ Thanks for the question and Happy New Year!

Thank you, Tim. Appreciate the discussion of Landon's great flies. I was wondering how you would fish the tube midge in moving water. As I understand it, Landon tends to use split shot and an indicator. Would you prefer a Euro setup? If so, would the midge be on point on a dropper tag?
Hi Alex, I tend to fish midges off the dropper, if the fish are eating higher in the water column. One that I've had success with is the Improved Zebra Midge, as I feel the flash tends to pull them up from the deep. Another options is to fish a heavier dropper and the midge on the point, which guarantees the smaller fly will be deeper. A downside is that you have contact with the heavier fly and not so much with the midge, but it's still a great way to use a Euro setup and keep both flies near the bottom of the water column. Thanks for checking, and link to the Improved Zebra Midge: ua-cam.com/video/QCiUkdHY_-4/v-deo.html Tim
Hi Kaleb, for me, I tend to tie Euro nymphs the most, including Perdigons, Walt's Worms, and a few others. Have you tried Euro nymphing yet, it's addicting! Here's a video that discusses it: ua-cam.com/video/EGR8Rh3kJd4/v-deo.html Thanks and Happy New Year! Tim
Gidday Tim and Landon. Helpful info, great video content. Thanks.
Thank you Tim and Landon. Great video and looking forward to the book. Tim the big stillwater rainbows here in BC eat tiny midges! It's a blast.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Deb...and I am looking forward to catching some of those rainbows someday! Tim
Definitely gonna try the mini leech!

Thanks for the kind words, and I appreciate the comments. Please consider sharing this video with a few friends to keep the fun going! Tim
Nice looking flies, good info, thanks for posting.
Thanks for the comments, Jerry, which fly interested you the most? Tim

Thanks Tim really love your flies. On the hunt for micro squirrels. Just ordered the book.

I tie all flies with a non slip loop knot. We have tested extensively and fish will definitely respond to the additional movement.
Thanks for commenting, John, and glad to know you've tested this! I'm curious, which other knots did you find to be decent ones re: strength? Tim
@@TimCammisa Tim I switched to double Davey knot instead o clinch use it , non slip loop and triple surgeon. That’s primarily it.
Thanks👍
You're welcome, Jim! Everything good on your end? Tim
