Oh definately! I found that site a couple/three months ago and I have since learned several of the flies they have. That site caused me to buy more tying stuff than I care to think about!
Thanks for the link John. I'll watch these this weekend.

Joe Cornwall, the owner of the site used to post here every now and then. I agree, nice videos.

Just thought I would add these notes about tying-in the hackle!

Partridge and Yellow
Problems, Solutions, And Suggestions
1. Many tiers prefer to draw the fibers back from the tip of the hackle (hen or partridge body), tie the hackle in by its tip, and then wrap the hackle by holding its butt. The tricky part is judging the fiber length - starting too near the tip will require too many hackle turns to reach the fibers of appropriate length, but starting too far down the hackle will put the appropriate fibers onto the hook too soon. Despite this, once you get used to just how long the fibers need to be, this tip-first method will come quickly and easily.
2. Some of the keener anglers I know (Dave Hughes, Rick Hafele and Richard Bunse in particular) are tying their soft hackle with sparser hackles than before - let's face it, real caddisflies and mayflies have only six legs. The best way to accomplish this is to strip one side of the hen or partridge [feather], and then wind the stripped feather in only two or three turns. ~ Skip Morris

Yes they are good - also you can watch him on uTube under the name of cornmuse.

I've learned quite a bit from Joe Cornwall's tying podcasts, they are very well done!
I like them so much that I've downloaded many of the podcasts to my ipod.
And the best part is the patterns Joe chooses are very effective and catch fish!
