Good video that showed how to ty various stillwater flys. I liked the portion that showed the actual insects being immitated.
This is an important subject with increased interest in fly fishing lakes, and this video will complement the existing book. The star is obviously competent both as a tier, naturalist, and on-screen presence. That said this video is virtually unwatchable due to excessive and artless production.
Tying flies encompasses some routine procedures that one hardly even noticed as one does them. In this tape each bending on of the most minor material is a STEP, and each step is a screen brake and gets announced by a sultry super model voice. Even people not watching the video, but in the vicinity as it played, were reaching for the Tylenol after a few flies had been tied. This excess formality, as though course are being served to the Queen, is oddly paired with the off-camera voice of the producer asking the odd stupid question.
Overall the patterns look effective, don't require an excess pallet of miracle new materials with each tie, and should be easy for any tier. Good luck with watching it.
