Fly Tying

Hi from the Bozone!

Recommended Posts

Don here. Live near Bozeman, MT. Stumbled onto this site years ago and promptly forgot about it before registering. Typical!

 

I've never sat down with a tyer without learning something new and worth knowing. That reminds me that the FFF (then IFFF) (now FFI for Fly Fishers International) has their big annual Fly Fishing Fair in Livingston, MT this Aug 1-5. Their daily gathering of demo tyers is the best! What a great way to spend a day and meet new folks and learn new wrinkles tying. Not such a baad thing that Livingston is a short drive from Yellowstone National Park, either.

 

Does anybody happen to know about a site I'm having trouble locating? It is a tying video by a gentleman who might be from Britain (but could be European - that memory thing again) and ties an all cdc caddis. He uses a cdc furled dubbing rope for the body and a nifty method for the wing that only uses cdc fibers, no central vein. I don't think it is Oliver Edwards, at least I couldn't find it Googling him. I got my hands on some white cdc and want to tie up some Spruce Moths for our area using that technique. Any help finding that video would be enormously appreciated.

 

Am looking forward to learning my socks off on this website!

p.s. - not sure what that "Bait Fisherman" thing above the silhouette is. Can't figure out how to get rid of it. Any help?

Welcome to the site, DB.

 

My favorite tying videos are here ...

And this guy ...

If you don't find what you're looking for there, then I can't help you.

 

Good luck.

It might be Davie McPhail you are looking for. Here's a CDC caddis with CDC dubbing.

Thanks for the above - none of the patterns are the particular one I am looking for. If I find it, I will be sure to list it, as it looks exceptionally buggy to me and the wing technique is very nifty.

 

Agree that Davie McPhail has probably the best series of tying videos in existence. Also "Tying with Hans" out of Rapid City, SD are quite good, among multiple others. Charlie Craven of Charlie's Fly Box is great, as are his books! my biggest difficulty with Davie is my poor deaf ears trying to decipher his brogue!

 

Hi Karl! Did you fish the Mothers Day caddis hatch?
