Dave Whitlock podcast interview
Yup, another one of these threads, lol.
I've been exchanging emails with Dave Whitlock about an interview. We don't have a date yet, but he has accepted my offer with enthusiasm.
Once again, please post any questions you might have that you would like him to answer.
TT.

As young fly fishers most of us look up to and admire the generation before us and learn our skills from them. I'd like to hear Dave's take on who might have been influential in his fishing career, both as a fisherman-fly tier and artist.
Thanx

I watched him tie a bass bug pattern on line http://kwsu.org/Offers/FlyTying.aspx and I thought it was really innovative, using the mono as a weed guard, and different colors deer hair - I wonder how he comes up with some of these ideas, i.e. What is the inspiration for these new ideas. Also, I think FF has changed a lot in the last 20 -30 years techology wise. What is the biggest change/improvement in FF he has seen? Just some ideas...
Excellent, excellent questions! Please keep them coming!

Ask Dave (Who I consider the" Pope of Fly Tying"):
What was the first fly you ever tied?

Where he got the idea/inspiration for the red fox squirrel nymph?

Ask Dave if he still ties to sell to fisherman andnot fish. Sat with Dave when he tied his colored bass bug that I still have. I asked him if he tied for fisherman or fish. BILL
I have met Dave a few times in the past. Just a class, personable guy. The pope reference is really funny, I have always referred to him as the "Elvis of fly fishing"
Check out this thread jcampbell, thats where I found it, other good sites as well
