1 INTERNET FLY TYING GUIDE for Videos, recipes, patterns and other Fly TYING related items Issue: 7/6/2015 Total GUIDE references: 3,002 Author Dennis Stead (Note: Fly Index in back of PDF) In January 2012, I was introduced to fly TYING by a group of people that belonged to the Missouri Trout Fishermen s Association (MTFA). I was hooked. I soon realized that flies to be tied came in all sizes, shapes, colors and names. Well I thought, maybe I would start collecting fly TYING patterns (recipes) and put them in a data base in my computer. At first, I thought it would be easy. Then I found The Fisherman s Handbook of Trout Flies Have you ever searched YouTube for a fly TYING video or the INTERNET for a fly TYING recipe?

2 If the answer is yes, then you know that both have more fly TYING instructions on just about every pattern you have heard of. Some of the video or recipes are excellent, in the detail and the description from the tyers. Others are OK and then some are just terrible. by Donald DuBois. This was published in 1960, and it included a comprehensive identification list of 5,939 trout fly patterns. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time, I could not even guess how many new trout fly patterns (recipes) were added. Collecting fly TYING patterns (recipes) was not the way to go. I watched fly TYING DVD s and thought that this was a great way to have the pattern (recipes) and also learn how to tie the fly pattern.

3 Then one of the MTFA members suggested that I search for the fly TYING patterns (recipes) on the INTERNET , especially YouTube. After a detail search for your fly pattern, you may have watched a number of videos on the same fly. Your web search is over and you know that YouTube has your pattern and shows you how to tie them when you are ready to tie. Now comes the time to tie that fly, and you go to YouTube but have to start the search all over taking valuable time from TYING . You might not even find the fly tyer s video you like from your last search. If only you had written down the YouTube web address. You might have written the web address down, but cannot find where you left your notes.

4 That has happen to me over and over again. So I decided to create a database with key information on YouTube fly TYING videos and other patterns (recipes) that were not on YouTube. When I want to tie a certain pattern, I could review my database, find the pattern, click on the web address and then start watching the video or go to the fly TYING pattern (recipe). As you will see in the following pages, the information I started to collect would grow and grow and grow. At first I only want one of the best video of each pattern. I soon realized that there are many great tyers with the same or different approach on that fly TYING pattern.

5 Then there were patterns with only one video and maybe not the quality I wanted but just needed to know that there was a video pattern available for review. If a video was not available, I would get the web address of the pattern (recipe) and list the fly. My database got started by collecting: Fly Video Name, Video Producer, Main Fly Type, Sub Fly Type, and Web Address. After over 1,000 fly names were in my database, I ran a report and just felt like something was missing. I started to use my information to tie flies and soon realized that I did not have a picture of the fly to be tied and the web address. These were the missing pieces to my database.

6 So, you guessed it, I had to go back to the beginning; look up the video, pause it when I get a good image of the fly, Do screen captures. Clean up the screen captures using another software program and then find some way to get that picture of the fly into my database. Hundred and hundred hours later the following is the finished data base report. Just a note, some fly TYING videos might have been removed when you try the wed address, and if that is so, I will have noted it in the database. If I want a fly TYING pattern that I cannot find on YouTube, I would find it on the web and you will see the file marked PDF. The web address will lead you to the web site and you might have to click on the site and fly name to get to that pattern.

7 Finished, Oh no, this is just the beginning. For who knows how many fly TYING videos or fly TYING pattern are on the INTERNET ? In addition to those already posted, more and more are being added each day. Wish me luck but enjoy what is already finished. This INTERNET Fly TYING GUIDE is as of 7/6/2015 with 3,002 references. When I add new videos and patterns, I will generate a new INTERNET Fly TYING GUIDE ; you can check this date against the last GUIDE you received to see if you have the latest. If you like the GUIDE , tie and save an extra fly for me. Thanks. PS When you find the fly you want to tie, more your curser (arrow) over the web address and the arrow will change to a hand.

8 With the hand on the web address, click your mouse and you are off to the INTERNET and can watch how to tie that fly. Enjoy.
