Images very poor! Amateur images!! The fishing spot is excellent, but lack professionalism in filming ....

Wonderfully touching story. I'm teaching my seven-year-old granddaughter to tie flies and fly fish, and the unbridled exuberance she displays is good tonic for someone who has worn deep ruts along the stream bank for more than half-a-century.

Nice, almost brought a tear to my eye, OK, there was a tear. Its funny I've caught lots of fish over the last 20 years of fly fishing, but I will always remember my very first trout like it was yesterday. Just thought about that trout again, as I was reading your story.

Tom, love the fly! This fly will make our Army folks proud! Great, and fitting tribute.

Rabd,
The video works as it should, and if you can see videos elsewhere it should work here too.

Try Youtube, and search for "white spotted char jpn", and watch what the Japanese flyfishers use. Foam, probably foam sleeping mat with short nylon "spikes" either thick nylon or cable ties, and a catch measurer on the side. Looped over their shoulder and floats on the water.
I'll be trying this season.

The person cutting the foam cyclinder from the glued flip flop should use a brass tube. These brass tubes are available in any size. You cut the brass tube the size needed, sharpen on edge and take the other end and place in rotary drill. You will be able to cut many popper bodies this way.
P.S. The brass tubing is available at any hardware store or handyman hardware store.

Great page and Tony is a MASTER! I don't know why I have not heard of him before, but he is so excellent I will look for him at the various shows I attend.

excellent video very fine fly tying instructions
no use for language like this. I let my kids watch this with me and this is not right.

The World's Best Trout Flies, is probably one of the best fly tying books there is, with 30 fly fishers from across the globe sharing their secret flies, how the fly started, how to tie it and how to fish it, etc, Probably the most under rated book IMHO

Might want to check your illustration for the blood knot... the wraps should be opposing. If you are looking "down the line" on one side of the knot, the wrap of the end of the other line should be counter-clockwise, then look at the knot from "down the line" on the other side and the wraps should again be counter-clockwise so that the wraps oppose each other... it is hard to explain.

They look pretty and like some of the type my father has used many years ago for trout fishing.

Love this fly. Can you explain the cardboard cutter for natural cuts? Is this one of those hand rotory tools? How do you use it to cut the fiber in a tapered manor?
