Nice tying,nice and simple but effective 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@flowflyfishing2131]

Another great video. Thanks.

[@tyronarmstrong6883]

I really enjoyed the video. I’m hoping to start tying my own flies soon.

[@The_MooseWhisperer]

Thanks again! This tutorial made it so easy to follow along and tie. I just saved myself so much money. One of these patterns sells for $2.99 CAD at my local fly shop. I just bought all the supplies and 25 hooks for around $35 CAD including the wax as well. Some of the supplies like the milking egg, thread and wax will last me years and the two foams i bought will last me hundreds of flies it seems.

Of course, the biggest lie in fly tying is that it will save you money. ;-)

[@kevinpeters9867]

this works really well on farm trout as well.

[@shaycarey8603]

Cool fly 😄

[@reelphatties6426]

Nicely done

[@eunicehernandez8329]

really cool

[@nickcowan7056]

Can you make a video of a how you record your tying videos and your camera setup!!

[@billruland1494]

Just FYI, his setup is how he makes his living. It's a trade secret. Why would he share it? As you might have observed, Tim's videos are the best on UA-cam, there is, in my opinion, nobody that comes close. So just enjoy them and learn.

[@edperry4235]

Another great vid. Do you ever tie these with added weight?

[@tightlinevideo]

I rarely add weight to any egg pattern. I'll use a sink tip line, split shot or a second weighted fly to get them down. I like eggs flies to be neutrally buoyant so they drift more naturally. That said, there are a ton of weighted egg patterns out there that produce a lot of fish.

[@mcbdroid]

Tim, great video tutorial, thank you. Would tying the veil off on both sides of the yolk be of any value?

Check out the eggs over easy

[@billruland1494]

For me, Loon's High Tack Swax is very sticky. I have more luck applying it with a toothpick instead of just rubbing it on the thread from the container.

[@dodgeoutdoors8403]

Big fan and plz send me and I know it’s a long shot but plz send me some marabou I can’t find any in stores here in Wisconsin

[@the.tricky.outdoorsman]

[@gardnerwebb3749]

What brand nipper did you use?

[@tightlinevideo]

Orvis, worth every penny. They last for years of heavy use.

[@gardnerwebb3749]

@@tightlinevideo thanks! I just ordered the ergo 🤞

[@nicedreamz7102]

A angle rips it’s own wings off every time someone hooks their hook into their rods cork handle or rod eyelet

[@Destral02]

Good to hell with the obtuse angles.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

"Take wraps."...... grammar's not really a thing in fly tying is it?

[@austinhorner98]

Why you hating?
