Congratulations.

Mr. McPhail, thanks so much for posting these tying videos, I have now purchased a beginner vice and will be having a go at tying my own flies.
I beleive that you making it look so easy will be a bit frustrating at first, but hopefully I will catch on.
Thanks again Cheers Steve Thistle, Torornto Canada

Simple, effective, why over think it. If it works on my flyrod, I'm in. Good work Art!

bob-
i'm not sure what the "paper method" is but to keep a horizontal seperation fold back one color at a time, tie it in then the next and so on. cover your individual ties with the single thread wrap that finishes the fly.

i'm a very lazy tier and when i saw my first thunder creek i said 'that's way easier than spinning deerhair". it is and it floats well and casts easily. a lot of my most productive bass patterns are thunder creek streamers or large madame x's.

however i read his book and mr. fulsher never intended any of that. oh well.

You forget one piece of very essential equipment: The Beard. A not some nicely trimmed, beard, mind you... Oh no, it has to be a long, untamed, train-hoppng-hobo-scraggly-Grizzly-Adams-and-Unibomber--love-child beard. Something that says, "I guide in Alaska." Goatees? Never. Might as well throw on the camo waders in that scenario.

Hey David Mac! Thanks for introducing me to the Fly Tyer Forum and all the great people here. Thanks in part to everyone with the FTF, we had great success with our Fly-A-Thon 2012. We donated more than 2,500 handmade flies to the Reel Recovery and Casting for Recovery programs. Get well soon! Best fishes, Rodster

Great review Martin. I agree 100%. Great value for money but the quality is what really stands out. I don't think there can be many fly fishing film makers that put so much time and effort in to producing something like Robert does every time.

In my opinion, HOTD is the closest you can get to fishing without leaving your house. And in my case, with a 10 month old baby at home, that is something to treasure! :o)

Since you got this far …


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.
