One thing about Jack he came up with effective easy to tie patterns from very readily available and inexpensive materials, the man was a genius at this sort of thing, My favorite of his is the soft hackle streamers, I been experimenting with different color combinations for years now, The sparrow is a must have nymph for your box! I like fishing in high heavy flows during the colder months! Hare's Ear for dubbing works really well for some odd reason!

As a friend of Jacks he would have approved your variation of the head for this fly

[@monkhgames1379]

I really like the flies you tie in your videos.They are simple And catch pretty well, even here in germany!

[@jimjobes5187]

Sparrow reminds me alot. Of the Casual dressed fly pattern wonder which one came up with it first 🤔

[@MikeBlezien]

I like this variation, never had much luck working with those Aftershaft (filo) feathers. Can't go work with Brahma.

Great videos! I am starting to get into Salmon Fly tying and was wondering if you could make a video on you favorite salmon fly

[@Coastalfishes]

Looks like a crane fly larva if you either cut the tail or make it really long

I ordered this pelt in tan (whiting farms soft hackle with chiabou pelt)... but it looks nothing like this. Its a solid color and an unnaturally plain and tan compared to yours. Are you ordering a speckled version or how can I get something that looks like what your using?

[@wsbailey]

What is the name of the place that Tim mentions for the dubbing brush?
