Easily the best copper John tutorial video on UA-cam. Thank you for doing this.
Great tutorial. I'm going to teach my nephew to tie a bunch of these
Bad ass!!! Tying some for a friend who uses them for Atlantics in Sault Ste Marie. UV gel seems like less of a pain. The epoxy would set up before I tied three of them 😂😂😂. Great tie. Thank you 🎣🐟😃
According to your precise advice I have tied my first Copper John and it looks nice! Thanks a lot.
Best fly tying instructional videos ever. Thanks much
Always enjoy watching your videos, listening closely and learning new techniques to make superior versions of classics. Thank you
Thank you for providing us with such great videos. Everting about it is great from music, to narration to unclutter background. I have enjoyed all that I have seen.
This is the best video on tying a copper john. The others are pretty amateurish compared to this one. Excellent instruction.
Very well done! May just be one of the best fly tying instructional vids I've seen
its amazing how simple UV resin has made these flies!
Well I been tying files for going on 50 years now and I have sinned a lot at the vise. This is some of the very best fly tying video on You Tube. I have been going away from 5 min epoxy in recent years - I like the Loon Fly finish and just zap it with a light. But epoxy is fine, just tie a dozen or two then epoxy at once. Great pocket water nymph, been using one as my heavy in Czech Nymphing- I get as many hook up with it as I do with the other two.
What an incredible fly. I love fishing it and it has been fun getting better at tying it.
Without doubt, one of the finest instructional videos I have watched for fly tying. Keep'm coming, please!
I have watched tying videos from dozens of producers, Lefty Kreh makes me laugh, and I love him, but you are my absolute favorite, hands down. I am relatively new (3yrs) and losing my vision, which is another reason I love your videos, they are up close, and easier for me to learn. Again, Thank You tightlinevideo, Thank You 🎣🎣🙏🏼
Some substitutes for the flashabou that I have experimented with and found usable are just like one small strand folded over to make 4 small strands. Also if you want to cut the inside of an airhead wrapped or something similar that works very well. Great video though I'm only tying this version from now on. So effective
I've watched several really good videos on the copper john and I feel that your demo is the best. I also learned a couple of tying tricks while watching. Thanks
I really learned a lot from this vid. Great instruction and reasoning behind the Instruction. I've tied at least 3 dozen of these bad boys and they look great!
Thank you very much Mike, we enjoy making them.
best instructional fly tying videos on the net..well done!
I just started tying and found your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I'm not sure if you will read this, but I subscribed to see all your content.
Simply beautiful! Thanks again for a great video!
I hope you keep teaching on UA-cam. Thank you
"The final layer of epoxy, will cover up a multitude of sins" Makes me wonder how long tightlinevideo has been watching me tie...ha,ha. Thanks for another fantastic video production, and really digging the music in the background.
"Maybe 2 and a 1/2 dozen flies!!!!" LOL
Hi Tim!!!!
The original, still my favorite of the Copper Johns.
I agree. Your instructional videos are great!
This is the first fly I ever tied. I picked a really hard one for a beginner! Also tried the prince nymph. Went into fly fish food and said " I want to start tying flies, but I am sure i need to start with something simple like copper john or prince nymph" Lance Egan was kind enough to also suggest I start with some black beauties and san jaun worms Hahah!
Cracking video, very nicely tied
WELL DONE COLLEAGUE
VERY GOOD Copper John
REGARDS 🎣🐟🐟🐟
Really, really great video. Thank you!
It took me a while to find the correct size flashabou. It is made by Hedron, Inc. It is salt water pearl flashabou, number 1805, and it is 1/8" wide.
Can you still get this flashabou? I checked the Hedron website and could not find it. Thanks.
@@nicolelewis1828 I just checked. It’s in their catalog. Jumbo Pearl Flashabou, 1805. It’s saltwater flashabou. I hope that helps. www.hedroninc.com/sites/default/files/Hedron%20catalog.pdf
@@jerryromano9501 Thanks! I appreciate your efforts. :-)
Great video! Thanks!
what a fantastic video.
I have two bobbins one is metal for copper wire and gold wire and the other one is pvc I use that for thread I like to keep my wire on the spool so there is less waste when I have to cut off the excess
That is so awesome!
What I found works well is using 70 denier for the body and then when I need to tie the wingcase, going to veevus 16/0 so it doesn't build up bulk (especially on sizes 16-18)
I love to tie and fish this fly!
They are mainly for trout but I'm sure bass and panfish would also take them. I don't sell flies but most fly shops and catalogs carry the Copper John.
tightlinevideo you should sell flies because a lot of shops don’t make flies like you do my friend
As usual, a great instructional video; lucid and very well shot. I have a question: That looks like a magnetic strip on the popsicle stick you use to get a beadhead from the bag. The beads must be brass plated steel, not solid brass, correct
Good job
Speckled gray works well also
Need to make some thanks
My lord biots are giving me a challenge.
Elle est superbe !! ;-) de FRANCE
Can you do more Bass Patterns? I would really appreciate it!
My favorite is the black and silver Pattern.
I know I don’t have any of that material but I’m going to use what I’ve got and see what I get.
Hi. You have once given me an advice, I'll try to pay you back with mine. You might want to cover the copper wire with some kind of varnish/epoxy/UV resin. The reason for this is as soon as you start using this fly in the water, the copper will become discoloured due oxidation. Even if it doesn't get wet, it will eventually oxidize. UV resin works best for me, I simply don't like epoxy due to bubbles and less control over its curing.
Thanks for the tip on the wire, you are absolutely right. The Ultrawire from Wapsi like I'm using in video however already has some kind of coating on it which makes less likely to oxidize which is why I like it. On the other hand, I like you started using UV resin on nearly all wire body flies and really like the look of it as it sort of magnifies the wraps. Anyway, thanks, great tip for all viewers keep them coming.
tightlinevideo is there anything you can use to substitute the black thin skin
+theoutdoorguy123 Yeah anything thats black :-)
if you use epoxy and want to get rid of air bubbles, just run a lighter briefly over the fly, or if you mix the epoxy on some aluminum foil, run a lighter under it and the bubbles will disappear fairly quickly
me gusta y es divertido la fabricación de moscas pero primero necesito fabricar mi propia herramienta y necesito mas información sobre los amarres y como utilizar la herramienta gracias
I’ve been having a hard time finding peacock hearl do you have any online stores I should check out that you would recommend
Fabulous video! Question from a newbie - since we cover the thorax with epoxy or resin anyway, what’s the point of the Thin Skin? I don’t have any so I tied them with just flashabou and covered with Loon thick to make a bulbous thorax. They look great and the flashabou shines through. I think you could save a step…
muy buena
Nice. What type of fish will this attract? And do you sell them?
Beauty
Awesome! How are those L.S Hooks?
Chris
I love flytying. Watching these yt videos always sets the mood. Also always triggering me buying more tying stuff online,as I dont have everything this or that fly is build off.
Btw:What is "leadfree" wire made of? Probably isnt as heavy as lead? But like bullets and airgun pellets,these days we are more environment aware and try to substitute I quess!
Just a mix of other metals I believe. Seems a bit lighter than lead to me, so I just add a few more wraps.
tightlinevideo definitely lighter. Hold two packages at the store and compare. Still eco friendly though
Antimony and Tin.
What size bead would you recommend for smaller copper johns? Such as 16's and 18's. Thanks
3/32" or 7/64" I tend to like slightly oversized heads on Copper Johns.
is there any substitute for thin skin
what are some variations on colors
Great Vid thanks one question is there a alternative to goose bigots if I don't have any??
You might want to try a small clump of marabou for a more flowy fly
r u can use uv resin or no
👏👏
How much do all of th materials including uv light and resin cost?
what is that back ground music for this video?
Could I use Bondic instead of the epoxy?
+Bill Ruland Absolutely!
how'd i end up here.
Where do you get such perfect peacock herl? The ones I buy from my local fly shop don't look nearly as nice the ones you use in all of your excellent videos.
find someone who owns a peacock like I did
great idea....or maybe I'll get one :)

Alyssa Gustavson where I live bluegill crappie bass
Alyssa Gustavson lots of trout and bluegill...where i live i have a river filled with bass and big rainbow and brown trout, i catch lots of troit on these flies and often a lot of small bass 6-12 "
