tying video

tying video i am interested in buying an instructional video for tying . anyone have any recommendations ? thank you ! keith

Are you brand new to the hobby? Or have you been tying for a while?

I just bought a fly tying kit from Bass Pro Shops and it came with a very nice video that showed how to tie several flies. (Let's see if I can remember which ones)

I think they were:
Wooley Bugger
Pheasant Tail Nymph
Hare's Ear Nymph
Winged Ant
Adams Attractor
Elk Hair Caddis.

There may have been one more but it's not coming to me at the moment. The video started off with a section with Lefty Kreh giving tips on how to use the different tools and how to whip finish by hand without a tool. Then another guy (who's name escapes me) gave the tying lessons. The whole kit with materials, tools, vise and video was just under $50. The vise is nothing special, but it gets the job done.

Keith,
Please call me. I have that excellent video that Bob "oldman" Dial sent me. His buddy in his Elmira, NY shop did it, & it is the best I have. You are welcome to borrow it, or maybe we can even burn a copy for you.
