No comments yet

US based Tim Flagler has been fly fishing and tying for more than 30 years. He founded Tightline Productions in 1998 - a video production company that specializes in promotional and instructional video (www.tightlinesflyfishing.com). He's known worldwide for his tying videos and for being a very skilled flyfisher and flytyer. Tim's also a presenter, instructor and guide. Tim will in this episode demonstrate the tying of The Poor Man's Wisthler - based on Dan Blantons The Wistler, but modified by renowned pike guide Dwane “Chip” Cromarty to a predator fly. A very effective and simple fly for big predators - but razor sharp teeth calls for optimized tying-techniques and Tim will guide througt the details in this video.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
