Hi Martin,

I agree, it wouldn't be too hard to tie the fly from the photos, but I've been tying for a while now and can sort of work it out. I was thinking more of new tyers who may not have a ready supply of hooks materials etc and need to go and purchase.

I think you do a great job and I've been visiting your site for years now. Keep up the good work.

Josh,

The video is there, and no, you don't have to be a member. Some users have had to update to the latest Flash-player to get it to work. But the video IS there and absolutely public and for free!

Completely useless might be putting it a bit harshly, don't you think?
If you run through the pictures you get a pretty good impression of the materials, which (as in most patterns) aren't that critical. Hook, thread, eyes, hair, braided tube, rubber legs, hackle tips, sand, marker pen and glue. I think a lot of people will be able to tie--or rather: build--the fly from that.

But due to Mike's and Joseph's comments we will consider adding the list.

And how brave of you to put your name behind your criticism! Oh that's right... you didn't...

Hey Carlos,
Didn't you have any problems with this material when the fly is wet? In my experience these synthetics rolls over the hook when tied both on the up and down side of the hook body.

Rod,

Great to hear! I know Vimeo has been fooling around with their embedding and Flash/HTML5 and whatnot, so they might have changed something. Their service has started working on smartphones, so now you can also browse the GFF video site from your iPhone or Android phone. Sweet!

Rod,

If it's the videos from Vimeo that cause trouble it might because of a Flash/HTML5 problem. What browser and machine are you using to browse them? iPad's and iPhones can have problems with Flash video.

We use a standard way of embedding the videos, but I will check whether I can do something about it.
