They recently re-released the VHS videos on DVD. Anyone seen these videos? Would you recommend them? The DVD's are $30 a piece. Any of them better than the other? (Dry flies, nymphs, mayflies, terrestrials-caddis-midges, streamers)
What about Rotary Fly-Tying Techniques by Mike Holt?

Don't know about that one but Al Beatty's is good.

I got the Al Beatty DVD on Rotary Tying Techniques for Christmas and found it very informative. You might want to consider it as well.Quote:

Good luck,

Thanks for the personel reply, however when I go to the site it seems like a spam site. I cannot find your videos at all, but I am a big fan, so maybe I will just purchase them anyways. Lots of good reviews. Thanks again. -Badger
Hi Badger,
I have A.K.'s series in VHS. I think they are the most thought through presentations. Especially regarding proportions. I would suggest Dry Flies as a first video and then pick the patterns you like as A.K. suggested.
A.K.'s "Tying Dry Flies" shows you how to tie every part of a dry fly - tails, hackle, wings, body, etc. - and the many materials you can use and how they need to be tied on differently. It is excellent.

Badger, I too tried the one he suggested and ended up at a spam site. I think the link that Mr. Best refers to is now located at:
http://www.tangibledata.com/feathercraft/
This site allows you to choose the patterns you want and place them onto a DVD. After quickly looking through the patterns list it appears that there are quite a few of Mr. Best's flies there. Hope that this helps!
Oh, and hello all, I have been reading the forums and site for quite a while now, but this is my first post :)
