Night Fishing, with Tim Flagler

 

Speaker 2025.01 Flagler 2Tim's presentation will be on fishing after dark. At certain times of the year, fishing after the sun goes down can be spectacular and the chances of hooking into a monster are better than any other part of the day. Fishing in the dark does take some getting used to but with a few tricks, some basic equipment and minor modifications to technique, it can be an absolute blast. The presentation will include a wealth of videos shot recently and over the last couple of years and yes, it includes plenty of big fish.

Tim Flagler is the owner of Tightline Productions, L.L.C., a video production company located in Califon, N.J. Although he produces video programs over a wide range of topics, his specialty is fly fishing. Tim is a well-known fly tying instructor. His YouTube videos are some of the best in the business and his YouTube channel currently has over 104,000 subscribers and 32 million views. Almost every week he produces a new fly tying or how-to video which appear not only on his YouTube channel but on the Midcurrent and the Orvis News fly fishing blogs as well. They’re also featured on Trout Unlimited’s national website and in the Orvis Learning Center. In addition, he has a regular column “Beginner’s Masterclass with Tim Flagler” in Fly Tyer magazine. Many of his tying videos take the viewer well beyond just the tying of the fly and show what it looks like underwater, what natural it represents and how it can be fished.

Tim’s a fixture at the Fly Fishing Shows – giving presentations, teaching classes and often as a featured tier. He enjoys guiding year-round for Shannon’s Fly & Tackle in Califon, N.J., and hosts annual trips to Patagonia during the spring and to Montana’s Kootenai River during the summer.
