  • in everyones opinion, which is better this or whip finish im still new and can do both but most of the time i will whip finish

  • That makes it a lot clearer, many thanks Dave. Previous attempts to replicate what I thought you were doing missed out the second hitch and usually ended up in disaster! Had success earlier this year with your crane fly pattern, a beautifully marked, gutsy 1 lb brown from the Wansbeck, many thanks. You could do a tutorial for the Adams dry, as a newcomer to fly fishing and tying, it has been a straight forward tie and deadly for me this season.

  • Is this method of finishing as strong as a whip finish?

    I am new to fly tying and indeed fly fishing, I have found all your videos so helpful and the theme tune co catchy I find myself humming and whistling it during the day!!

    Please keep up the good work..

  • Thank You Mr Cammiss!! Can't use my whip finish tool either and the "manual whip finish" forget it!

    This knot is is brilliant I will never use anything else now, just started tying (and fly fishing) at 22 and have already done some buzzers and montana nymphs (thanks mainly to your videos!)

    At first I thought "I can't see me doing this" but now its addictive!

    All I need to do is catch a trout now!!

    Many Thanks

  • I wanted to thank you for teaching me to tie. I started about a year and a half ago and without your videos I would have surely given up. I look forward to every new video. Thanks again!!!

  • Great!!

    Thanks you a lot David Cammiss

    I am from Germany and happy, that you ve done this super videos

    5 stars every video

  • If you have a good whip finishing tool, then it is much faster doing a whip finish, but if you have to do some really delicate work like on a #18 Klinkhammer, then the double halve hitch is the prefered manner since the whip finish tools are too big for the more delicate work.

  • nice one dave

  • Nicely done. Looking forward to more techniques. TX.

  • great!
