A great tip tutorial there Tim. I can say I’m familiar with most of them but always good to pick up a new idea. Thank you for uploading this one dude.
You got it and I hope your start to 2021 has been a great one! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Thanks Tim. I think we need a better year this time around. Keep well my friend.
When I tie in wings, I tend to wrap too far forward toward the eye. Now, I figure out where the tie in point is, accounting for any hackle that will go in front,so that there is adequate room for a whip finish, and start my thread at that point on the hook. I make sure nothing goes in front of the thread until it is time to wrap the hackle or dubbing. This avoids material creep towards the eye. I think this is a Kelly galloup trick which has really helped.
Great video Tim, lots of good stuff there, as always with your videos!
I now teach a beginner to whip finish at the eye of the hook as the first step in fly tying. This helps them understand the proportion of the head of the fly and they are less likely to destroy their first fly because they didn't know how to complete the tying process.
Thanks for the comments, Anthony. On my website, I have a section that is specifically for beginners, and I'll be updating it over the next few months: www.troutandfeather.com/fly-tying-videos#/beginnerrecommendations Feel free to use this as a resource, too, and thanks for helping our beginner tiers! Tim
Tim,
As always great tutorial. I started reclaiming some old hooks and your tutorial made me realize I have been crowding my hook eyes for many years. Interesting how we become creatures of habit.
Glad to have helped, Bruce! You said it well...these habits can be tough to break. Hope all is well on your end. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Great tips Tim. I often crowd the eye on my dries. I also got some of that 18/0 thread a few days ago. Hope it helps. Thanks for sharing.
You got it, Dominique, and I'm glad to have helped a bit! Let me know your thoughts on the 18/0 thread...it's one of my favorites. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa I really like the thread. So tough. Helps to clear the eye and make thin bodies.
Cheers Tim, my biggest problem when I started tying.
Trust me, a problem for many, Raymond! Thanks for the kind words. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Thanks Tim,
A lot of good suggestions👍
You're welcome, Jim, and glad to have helped! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
One I've seen also is to use a finger tip from a latex glove which is put on the shank of the bobbin holder and pulled over the fly to pull back material from the head when tying and finishing the head.
Thanks for sharing, Gregory...awesome idea! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Excellent video and information! Well done Tim! Tight lines!
Thanks for the kind words, Mike, and I hope all is well! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

You're welcome, Bob, and thanks for the kind words. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Great video, just sent it to my son.
I am greatly appreciative of you doing so, John, thanks! Hopefully he can put up with me talking for over 20 minutes...about keeping the hook eye clean. HA! ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Tim can you show how you do the whip finish & half hitch???
Of course, Don, here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/rN8masmBqAg/v-deo.html Hope that helps! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
I have used the razor blade, I have also placed a loop of fine copper wire in the hook eye to pull tippet through, because it was tight.
Great suggestion with the fine copper wire, Lee...thanks for mentioning it! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Hi, what is the fly in the videos thumbnail?
The fly is an emerger tied with some CDC...and intentionally covering the hook eye! ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Does the x long run by the Hook eye as well?
Hi Ellis and thanks for the question. Here's a link that will help with the hook designations: midcurrent.com/gear/essential-trout-flies-hooks/ Something important to keep in mind is that though most hook manufacturers use the same terminology, the actual dimensions are not standardized. This is even true when inspecting hook models from just one brand, making it that much more confusing at times for us as consumers. The guidelines listed in the article above are generally followed by most hook companies, but be aware that slight differences exist. Thanks again and if you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact me: tcammisa@gmail.com Tim www.troutandfeather.com
