novabass 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2012 I read an interview and watched a video of Chris Helms lately. Being a beginner, I had not heard of him before, but now I know more about him and the flies he ties. I was wondering what other fly tyers I should check out? Could you guys list some please?

Neldricken37 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2012 Try davie mcphail channel you tube. Brilliant fly tier. Davie mcphail is second to none when it comes to tying,he is from the same town as me in scotland and actually grew up in the same village as i.i have learned an awful lot from his tying videos on youtube and the way he talks through every step of the fly he is tying,gret tips,great progress in your tying from davie,he even tells you where to source the materials,anything you want to ask him he will respond through youtube and answer your query,i once asked him about an irish wet fly called the mulranney pig which catches lots of wild browns on the west of scotland hill lochs and he gave me the pattern and wished me well,allthe best my friend,john.

Guest Report post Posted January 6, 2012 I would add Skip Morris to the list also. He has some very good books out. For small stuff (midges etc) try Ed Engle. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluegill576 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2012 It's a kind of obvious one but I did t see bob clouser yet. He is a great fly tier and fisher along with just a great personality and mindset. I was lucky enough to participate in a class of his at last years fly fishing show and I learned so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 6, 2012 Well novabass, that should get you started. And once you get done with the "professionals" there are a ton of outstanding amateur tyers scattered across numerous web sites. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
