A List of Flytying Websites

[Uncle Jesse]

One of the guys at North Georgia Trout On Line put this list together. I don't think they will mind my sharing it with all of you, especially considering his first entry. There are several of us FAOL member who also show up at NGTO (http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ngto/ ) nice folk over there, a lot like the ones around here.

Jesse,
Always fun to see new lists. I prefer those (such as Charlie's Flybox) that have step by step tutorials that I can print & have in front of me when I tie. I'll have to look through my list & if any of those are not on your list, I'll post them in this thread.
Thanks again,
Mike

That was a total R&D (rob and duplicate) on my part, as I said one of the guys at NGTO did the work, but I am going to edit the message and add your two websites, just in case some one wants to R&D it for themselves.

I agree completely Mike, I have several patterns I have copied and added to tying books; I really like the videos as I have never had an experienced tyer show me how to do much, other than a few minutes at a show. Leroy Hyatt has gotten me where I use a dubbing loop to do most dubbing instead of dubbing on a single thread. Before watching the KWSU, thanks to all of the Washington state tax payers, I thought you used dubbing loops only for brushy dubs. Proof you can teach old Mississippi rednecks to do something different.
