To N: I have never posted a video either, but Panasonic, JVC, Sony all make affordable video cameras that would likely suffice for what you want to do. To chose, you would have to answer if you want to save/store your video internally on a hard drive (Panasonic) or on a memory card (Sony, JVC, Panasonic). You can get a good camera from any of these three companies for around $300.00 USD, at least I did (Panasonic).

No mention of the effect of depth of presentation, size of fly, turbidity and flow of water, expertise of caster, even species of fish? An ideal leader for maximum casting distance is relatively easy to prescribe, but for optimum hook-ups the physical properties of the leader depend upon other considerations.

Gary,

There should be absolutely no problems in showing the videos in a fly tying club or guild as long as you don't charge money to do it - like a cinema show. Screening online videos - and DVDs for that matter - to a select group of member under private circumstances breaks no laws. So you just go ahead. It's a great idea by the way and a very good way of introducing patterns and tying steps to people.

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

I have started to watch your videos very informative you are truly a master tier. Is that a law vise if not can you let me know what brand it is and where to get one. Thanks Happy Tying, Martin

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.

Ok
I understand that you emphasize only a few together
But for example I wanted to do the Wolff series which is about a dozen

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 :D

Thank's, Martin.
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 ...
Cheers.

A man,a boat,a lake,& fly rod what could be wrong with that,"nothing" thats what.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
