If there’s one thing I admire, it’s the ability to blend passion and skill into something that inspires others, and that’s exactly what Tim Flagler has done with Tightline Productions. During our conversation, Tim shared his journey of over 40 years in fly tying, 15 years on YouTube, and his channel’s growth to 120,000 subscribers. He spoke about the evolution of fly tying from books to video tutorials, the family-driven effort behind his productions, and his hosted trips to incredible fishing destinations like Argentina and Montana. It was inspiring to hear his dedication to teaching, guiding, and creative innovation. With the combination of these fantastic qualities, it’s no wonder Tim was voted as Fly Tyer Magazine’s 2022 Fly Tyer of the Year.
