Last year, we launched a new series of videos called “One-Minute Fly-Tying Tips and Techniques” from Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions. Each video will teach a single tying skill, from the most basic to the advanced. Ultimately, the series will serve as a sort of encyclopedia of tying skills that will be a valuable resource for anyone who sits down at a vise to create a fly.
In the latest video, Tim discusses a tool that he didn’t know he needed until he got one: a fine-tipped bodkin. Author and blogger Matt Grobert gave one to Tim, who found it incredibly useful. Here, Tim shows you how to make your own from a chopstick, a needle, and some UV-cure glue.
