Hi hopelessfisherman,

It's now 29 years since I started tying flies and I still enjoy it as much now as I did then, as you never stop learning a great hobby..I wish you lots a luck and many fish....

All the best Davie

Hi Brad(hopelessfisherman),

For what I can see this is an excellent flytying kit, with the Dvd showing you patterns that you can tye by Lefty Kreh a world class tyer and fly fisher then I would say that you will be off to a good start. Practice with the materials in your kit first before you start buying in more as it's very easy to buy the wrong ones or even paying too much ...Let me know how things go when your kit arrives...

All the best Davie

Hi hopelessfisherman,

I'm glad you liked the stonefly nymph.....

I would be happy to list a few materials for you but first I need to know what type of fishing you are wanting to do so that I can help you as much as I can, also what video would help you most....

All the best Davie

Hi Jeffdunham186,

I totally agree with you, I do prefer a fly myself to give an impression rather than being too life like...Thanks for you comment...

All the best Davie
