Evening Martin, My

Evening Martin,
My name is Gary and reside in Port Elizabeth South Africa. Have just started a fly tying Guild and am a keen follower of Davie's clips. My question is as follows. During our Guild meetings may we download,watch and then tie the applicable pattern? No funds of any sort are generated from such viewing but as Chairman of the Guild I do not which to infringe on any of Davie's copyrite material. Your advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Gary

Miro,

That's a killer bug right there! Nice fly and definitely worth trying for people fishing beetles. And very easy to tie too. Nice fly.

Alen,

For many flies you can use different approaches. Some frame makers simply make a large opening and arrange their flies in that - like here - others make an opening per fly, which is a lot of work and requires precision, but can be quite amazing as seen here in this frame with the flies from the Danish Fly Festival 1997.

How would I go about mounting dozens in the same frame?

Hi.

Hi.

This fly is from cork. You can drink a bottle of good wine, and after that, you can make you own fly. Nothing to lose. The wine is for you, and the cork is for fish 😄

Cork back bug:

Less CDC, a piеce of cork, thread 8/0 to 14/0, pinch dubbing, hook and little desire.

Fish is for you.

Cheers.

The second fly (Green beetle) is very effective for chub - one of the fishes in BG for fly fishing.
The first fly (George 1) is universal fly - for trout, chub ...

Martin, I have been

Martin, I have been tying flies for about 40 years now. I got started when I bought a box at an auction for $5.00 dollars. It was full of feathers tools and other stuff. The vise was a Herters and after a few years I replaced it with a better vise. I would imagine that I have spent several hundereds of dollars on stuff and it has been a great hobby. I am mainly a warmwater fisherman but I tie flies of all types just because I like to tie. I have given away most of them and you are correct that it is a hobby that cost money. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I still buy flies becuase I want to see how they are tied. Your article hits the spot.
