Fly Tying Videos. Which camera should I buy?

Are you thinking about getting into fly tying videos? Don't wait, start now! When it comes to cameras, you have TONS of options, and this video shares a few I've used over the years.

Frenchie

The Frenchie fly resembles a pheasant tail that has been changed slightly. These can be tied on a regular hook, but I really like using a jig hook with these.

Snælda

Here we will be tying the tube fly Snælda by mr. Grímur Jónsson. The fly has been around for some years and had such a success in salmon fishing in larger rivers like West and East Rangá and other riv...

Pheasant tail

Here we will be tying my version of the famous fly Pheasant tail by mr. Frank Sawyer. The fly is classic nymph, really effective and probably the most popular nymphs in Icelandic trout fishing among w...

Mýsla

Here we will be tying the fly Mýsla by Gylfi Kristjánsson. The fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing. The fly catches both brown trout and arctic char.

No-Rise Nymph

This is a great generic imitation for searching the water when the fish aren’t rising. The small jig-off bead adds a little weight and flips the nymph to fish with the point up.

Mayfly Wet

This is not a traditional Irish Lough Mayfly pattern as it is dressed in a lighter manner than it’s big wave surfing cousins.

Tofting's CDC Mayfly

The largest mayfly in Scandinavia are the Ephemera Danica and it’s stillwater relative, the E. vulgata. They are the same size, and the Vulgata tend to be a little darker than the Danica.

Woven Ammonite Nymph

This pattern is based on Steve Thornton’s Ammonite nymph dressing, a real favourite amongst many tyers and fly fishers alike.

Brown & Orange Waterpusher

The movement of the fly and the disturbance in the water is the key to trigger predators. A fly that pushes the water is the big effort in flies tied “Buford-style”.

Small GOFI Shrimp

Shrimpflies is just a must-have-in-the-box ... period! Whether it is saltwater or frshwater, shrimpflies just has an attraction on predators that a few other type of baits have.

Brown Bead Stonefly

Even the most fanatical dry fly fisherman must admit that there are often days when nymphs are far superior to the dry flies.

Tan Spey Shrimp

Fishing in shallow water can be tricky, difficult and frustrating... The fly often catches the bottom or snags, but here the solution can be upside down flies.

Rainbow Warrior

The Rainbow Warrior is a fly created by Lance Eagan to fish as an attractor for fish targeting smaller sized midges and baetis. This is a flashy fly that really grabs the trouts attention.
