Videos of fly tying notables

Recommended Posts

Occasionally a number of us post videos showing a well-known tying legend tying the fly or flies they are best known for. I thought it would be nice to have a thread dedicated just to that. Please keep side discussion and comments to a minimum here, just the name of the tyer, a link to the video, and maybe a few words on the tyer and the fly (preferably a link to an interview instead). Not about us, just about them. I'll start with an easy one.

Warren Duncan ties a Rusty Rat c/w a Robert Service poem.   This is poor quality home video of a tv program.  For someone of Dunc's renown,  and having made hours of community cable shows, etc.  I'm surprised that more video is not available easily.

W.C. Stewart died before we had film (1872).  Oliver Edwards does a wonderful job here tying a traditional Stewart's Black Spider.  There's a lot of historical information about the old world materials and methods.
