Learn Fly Tying Intermediate Lesson 3 The Klinkhammer with David Cammiss

[OSARip]

Dear Dave,

thank you so much for all the tutorials. I started with flyfishing 3 years ago. Thank to your videos it is now a natural thought to me, to tye my own flies.

This makes this poetic sport even more complete. Watching your Klinkhamer-pattern I ran into the question, if the Upside-Down-Paradun of John Goddard/ Brian Clarke ever was a successful or widespread pattern? The idea of not showing trout the hook of my fly sounds perfect? Has this USD ParaDun worked properly? Best wishes Bernd

i really love these vids

[yvonnebowe]

hiya Dave, what a lovely video, I use hare all the time and increasingly parachutes. The best thing about parachutes is that you can see fly and the rise to it and this makes all the difference in broken water with difficult light. Thanks again for a lovely video. Yvonne

Hi Dave,

Its Funny; every one has their own method as to what the klinkhammer should be costructed of and how its tied.

I first thought that the body would have a problem penetrating the surface film with such a heavy dubbing but then you have copper wire which will add the weight needed and pull the body under. Its well thought out!

Me, presonally, prefer a Turkey Biot dyed BWO for the body and a light or dark tan throax (match the hatch)

David, I'd like to see this fly in action!

could this pattern be improvised to imitate the blue winged olive, green drake or other mayflies using the egg yarn for a parachute pattern?

[robwatchesstuff]

check the thickness of your thread, it's measured in deniers and will be indicated somewhere on the spool. You may want to be closer to the 210 range if you're starting out..

[gdizzlesfc]

my thread always breaks. How do i prevent that?

[WEESTRAWZ]

your bobin holder might have sharp edges.

Just get a bit of sand paper or the like and give a few turns inside the shaft of the bobin holder!

[chrissept21]

@gdizzlesfc spin slower and use less pressure

if you have to pull the to arms that hold the bobbin apart so its not so tight

[banecabanecabaneca]

cool !! good videos!!

[gdizzlesfc]

very clean, very precise, and very professional, good video

[t48iii]

GREAT VIDEOS I collected fly tying materials for years and could never find a class near my home. I started tying from watching your videos and now have over 400 flies to my credit.

[Graftak01]

Excellent Dave..... keep it up, I even got my 16 year old daughter into flytying after she watched your videos.

[whiteboy1298]

hi dave!.thx for the vids.they realy helped me with my flies.I have a request can u post more vids please thx u rock =D.

[hughgareth]

Thanks again Dave, I get so much pleasure from your lessons, better be careful though as the tying prove to be could be more popular than the actual fishing.

[taxalterror]

Thanks Dave,What a good video,makes things a lot clearer for myself now.Cheers :)

[eagleflies2]

MR.CAMMISS i have another question i have seen people ty this fly with 2 hackles at the same time. Does it make any difference if its tyed that way?

[andynjane]

Hi topflyman, Your a STAR! thank you so much or helping me get my head and fingers around the art of fly tying. I have now even caught my first trout on one of my own flys. Ta very much. Andy Hemus

[topflyman]

Hi eagleflies

Thanks for your comments.

Sorry I do not know much about American patterns. However if you have the materials for the pattern the technique is the same.

Happy fishing.

Great Job Dave, It would be easy to make a boring fly tying intructional video, but you succeeded easily in making a very entertaining one. Your humor and attitude make these very enjoyable to watch. All this aside from the fact that they are an extremely well laid-out teaching tool.

[auquhirie]

these are very good videos Dave. is there any chance of showing how to tie a wet style Wickhams Fancy. please thanks dave

Thanks a lot Dave! I finally realized why all my parachutes come out bad! Thanks for the help and I can't wait to see more great videos in the future. Nice music and camera work too.

[GAFlyGuys]

[topflyman]

Hi Ron

The man behind the lens is my younger son Jon.

He is getting even better all the time. I have the easy bit tying the flies and Andy does the background music.Neither fish but they support the old man.

Happy New Year

DaveC. and the Team

[SB42494]

I want to congratulate your camerman/woman. They do a terrific job of photography for you.

What a great profesional team you all make.

Keep up the great work ..... Fly_tyer Sr. (tier of Ron's Miracle Flies)

[rreben]

Oh, now I know what I have done wrongly with my last (unsuccessful) attempts on tying a parachute fly. Thank you very much!! Your lessons are very helpful! Can't wait till spring to actually test them in the river!

[daviddowling364]

dave another great video. can you use white antron for the paracute instead for the egg yarn. What size hook do you use ? Can you use olive seals fur for the dubbing? thanks for your help. hope you had a wonderful christmas and new year. looking forward to all your great videos. all the best

[topflyman]

Hi David

Thanks for your response.You can use antron,cdc, dapping floss or even calf tail. Many years ago I used the hackle stem as a post. Hook size kamasan b100 size 12.

Happy New Year and Happy Fishing

[Jeter2rocks111]

any alternative to the pink foam?

[topflyman]

Hi

Happy New Year

The post was made with Egg Yarn....used for tying fish egg imitations. It should be available at fishing tackle shops. You can use

a small bunch of calf tail but it does not float so well.

thanks mr.cammiss its great to see you make videos again!
