Fran Betters - Tying the Ausable Wulff

Ok…this is my first crack at making a YouTube video. The local shop that I built a web site for, asked me to make if for them. It’s of the late Fran Better, tying the Ausable Wulff. It’s a nice piece of fly tying history. I hope you enjoy it. (Please, click “Like” if you do!!) Sorry it’s not HD but this was from an old video a friend made years ago.

Good Ol’ Fran ! He is a piece of Flyfishing history !

Thanks for sharing that video. I like watching some of the old timers tie. They didn’t fool around.

Fran Betters was a great and inovative fly tyer. I was chatting with a guy that fishes the Adirondaks quite often and he told me that he would always stop at Fran’s shop for a coupla flies. BUT, he said that after one trout, the fly would come apart. I laughed, because my buddy always had the same complaint about Fran’s flies So I always use head cement when I tie a fly.
Adios, Philip
