Capt. Matt C 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2007 I enjoy A.K Best videos. I like the personality and attitude of him while he ties, very humble approach. I especially like it when he says, "Let's see if we can get lucky." I'm thinking, "Yea right A.K, you've tied 999,999,999 x 10 to the 2nd power flies, there's nothing lucky about it!" I have to also say that F.T.F very own Graham is pretty damb talented as well. His realistic patterns are fantastic- for lack of a better word. I enjoy viewing his flies and wondering how he did that. I agree that there are many talented tiers out there and I would'nt call them gods either. Just a few people who's work you see and make you say, "Hey, someday I hope I'm that good" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
