Request to Hans

Hans, if you have had the chance to see Neil Patterson tie his Funneldun, and you have the time and inclination, would you please post a video on tying it to your site?

Thanks,
Ed

Hi Ed,

Though Neil and I have been tying at several shows together, never side by side - I cannot recall actually having seen him tie a Funneldun from start to finish. His books and several articles in magazines have the details, though.

I shall add the Funneldun to the list of patterns and styles for future videos - no promise on timeline, though

Cheers,
Hans W

Hans, is your site down? Says it is under construction.

Thanks

The link in your signature still points to danica.

The whole url works fine: http://www.flytierspage.com/

Thanks for the tremendous fly tying resource.

Hi Bruce,

Color me confused - where am I overlooking the .sig error:

Hans,

Thanks. Take you time, I'm sure it will be worth the wait. I have Neil's "Chalkstream Chronicle" and generally re-read it every year or two. It is a great coffeehouse book because it breaks down into an evening's reading so well. I get the impression that he is a character.

Warm regards,
Ed

Odd pattern. Have you seen McPhail's take on the style? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy5Wwb8cLmY

whatfly,

I've seen that video. Neil Patterson's pattern uses inexpensive, oversized hackles to tie the fly. It is not a hair hackle pattern.

Thanks,
Ed

Ed,

Saw that but going to be tied pretty much the same way. Process is pretty well described here as well: http://castingaround.anthonynaples.c...-dry-fly-style. Interesting tie, but not something I'd ever fish myself.
