this is helping me a lot thanks david!!! best tutorial for fly tying ;)

[TheDanBennett]

Great Videos Dave! I've seen this fly in other books but they always had legs from hackle, ill that make much of a difference?

[SBerkhouse]

I just went down to buy a vise and tools to start tying my own flys and I struggled, it wasn't until I watched your videos that i was able to complete my first fly. Thanks so much Dave. Happy Fishing

[bottomvibe]

I just did this one also .... No 12 hooks so far. I'm getting the hang of this. I'll go down to No 16 or 20s soon.

I want to try a wolley worm. Any videos on that, Dave?

[kipwillow]

This set of films set me on a mission to start tying my own flys .

Dave thank you ,keep it up ,great

[1956eddy]

David, Thanks so much for the Great Fly Tying Videos! I've been tying for a couple years, mostly for blue gill fishing here in Wisconsin, US. When winter sets in here I spend a few months restocking my fly collection since it's too cold to do anything else. It's so nice to watch someone tying closeup like this. I've been going through your lessons in order and just wanted to say Thankyou. I'd be more then happy to send a little money your way for all that you've shown me.

[colingrahambates]

hi could please tell me which of the flies yoy make would be good for freshwater newzeland

[trollin47]

David, I'm new to tying flies. What fly tying vise do you recommend? I've got a Griffin Mongoose Rotary. Are the more expensive vises forth their price?

Thanks for yo0ur input and your lessons.

[talbot312]

Hi Dave,

Weldone to you and the team on providing these wonderful videos. Its great to see people sharing the knowledge and wisdom of fly tying.

Paul.

[bakidge]

All I can say is that your video was the first one I looked up after getting my new fly-tying kit. After watching you, I'm going to throw my instruction manual away because you are much easier to follow!!! I wish I could give you a big hug! Thank you!!!

[peanut333s]

hi dave, a while back you told me that this fly was good for chub, and i found this out when i banged into a 5lb 9oz monster on a trout session, and two casts later, along came a 5lb 2oz rainbow along with around 30 others averaging 3lb! what a great fly!

[adbemty]

hi dave i;m a fly tier from eastern ct.usa i love your variation of th pt nymph i think its one of the best flies ever tied and should be a standard in any fly box that fly has caught countless trout. i sometimes leave it tied on until theres hardly anything left keep up the good work i heard you comment in one of your videos about the old man that taught you how to tie as i too had the same tutelege he taught me how to tie a fly out of heron and starling that he called a killer and boy was it

[eggmanpop]

these videos are really good and helpful.

any suggestions of a sinking fly for bluegills?

[guthrietackle]

Give the Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear a try. David tied it in his Lesson 3.

[guthrietackle]

Not sure why my post didn't go under eggmanpop's question. You can also tie on some lead wire for weight to this pattern.

Thanks for all the awesome lessons. You have helped a ton. Do you think you could do an Adams fly by any chance.

[rodgerole]

Love the bright colored thorax, but would prefer to leave legs.

Rodger

[GAFlyGuys]

you make it look easy!!!

[JLane17]

Hey Mr. Cammiss. Very Intrsting video. I am 14 years old and i have been tying flies for 2 years now and i keep getting better and better. i was wondering maybe in a future episode you could teach us how to make a boober type bug, you choose color and stuff. Thanks, see you later!

[ottoman50]

continually expressing his love of fly tying by sharing to everyone his wisdom. i cannot get over how simple he makes fly tying appear. i hope there are many more videos being made. i cant wait to tie some of my own and catch a fish too. thanks dave.

[blangsdale]

A proper gentleman with a flair for clearly passing on information - makes learning to tie flies an engrossing pleasure. All his flies are catchers I assure you!!! Thank you very much David

[aappio]

this is great!! And fly is grest too!!

[mgoblue0101]

I'm new at tying, and I've been using peacock herl for the thorax, and also folding back the fibers after the wingcase. Can you tell me why you use bright yellow, and why you trim off the fibers instead of folding them back over?

Thanks, and keep the lessons coming!

[daviddowling364]

another great video dave thanks again. you make it look easy and fun

[topflyman]

Hi David,

Your wish is my command! You will find the old standard partridge and orange and Greenwells on lesson 7. Thanks for your interest Dave C.

[daviddowling364]

thank you very much looking forward all you new lessons
