Sweet! Tight line🐛🕷️🐜!!!!
Very interesting!!! Tight lines🐛🕷️🐜!!!!
I think for how simple this pattern is, it has a great profile. The head as well as that sort of triangle shape that extends from the head to the back. Again, thanks for showing us great hopper patterns that won’t take 20 minutes to tie :D
Hello there, awesome videos. My son is very interested in making fly tying videos. We are having a hard time capturing the process on video. Do you have any tips to help a beginner with minimal equipment to make fly tying videos? We do not own a macro lens... Is that a necessity?
So real,i was waiting for it to hop out of the vice
Normally I don’t care too much for flies made up of foam and such but this little hopper looks great. Think I’ll try this one soon..... 🤞
Has anyone got a response about where to find the legs like that? I can only find the individual stranded ones.
Innovative and awesome, just not a fan of flies that require another product to make them fishable. Unless you apply floatant to that mop while dry, that fly is going to sink like a stone. Id much prefer a foam or furry foam body
Call it the mopper
Can I use size 10 hooks?
You are an evil genius Tim. Glad you're on our side.
Definitely a great fly for grass carps! Thanks for sharing!
"snip the tentacle free from the hide".. that shit killed me
Simply a genius. Great fly.
Simple yet innovative. Awesome bug!
What a great video! Can’t wait to try tying this one!
Nice job! Timely too, they're all over my yard
I really like this pattern. Thanks for that tip with the rubber legs! You da best.
Thanks for sharing. This is a really well built yet simple hopper. Usually I stay away from them because the patterns are complicated and take too much time. I make a seriously detailed cricket and I think this pattern would adapt well and make a great, much simpler cricket as well. All the best, Sean
Brilliant. Will try soon, thanks! I especially like the clarity to which you explain everything that you do in every video, had to comment due to the video being so simple but impressive. Your channel has helped me tremindisly as i am a new tier. Thanks again.
