Hi Troy
I have to concede that Iam your senior, not by a lot but enough for me to have the edge. However you are only as old as you feel and today after half a day dragging ‘a lot’ of weed out of our trout lake I feel 91. My reward was to catch the first and only trout for a week from the lake. I am confused by your name! Troy sounds classical and your surname academic?. To quote that well known gent, “You cant be serious.” Forgive me if I am being facetious. I only know that there are not too many left standing in my clan.
Glad you like the site. My son Jon puts a lot of hard work into the photography, the editting and keeping me in order
We have ambitions on doing DVD one day.
The next vid. is in the pipeline

I see you are 71. So am I. I wonder who’s the oldest. My birthday is 11-1-36 and how do you like my Welsh name? Your site is great. Keep it up.

Hi Kevin
Thanks for your comments.(I blush under my weatherbeaten face).
There will be more vids.
We will try to come up with a hackled dry fly. I tend to concentrate my efforts on nymphs, wet flies and lures. I have not done a lot of dry fly fishing and at 71yrs feel it is a little late to change my habits.

Mr. Cammiss and Friends,

Recently discovered your site. As a neophyte tyer I find the video demonstrations far more helpful than even the best photo descriptions in magazines and books that I’ve used.
Your site is outstanding and I hope to learn with you for many months to come!!
Any dry fly patterns on the way?

Thanks!
Kevin

Hi David
Thanks for your comments. They will keep on rolling. We are giving serious thought to doing a DVD as a result of the feedback we get from the vids.
Did have a memorable trip to NZ.
Best day on brownies 7 fish 21/2…..3lb and lost a few.
Best day on rainbows approx. 30 fish 1/2 lb ….31/2 lb. on a very fast river and lost as many.
NZ South Island is a beautiful place but you need a guide initially to get the best out of it.
Happy fishing

Mr. Cammiss and Team,

Outstanding Demonstrations! Your efforts are very much appreciated. Keep them coming!

Did you make the New Zealand trip? If so, how about sharing the highlights with us all?

Best Regards,

Mr. Cammiss,
I have seen very few variants on the good ol’ Muddler minnow pattern that are explained and illustrated simply. This was an outstanding video (as they all are).

I have already improved my own tying by watching your videos, the small tips you share are things you just can’t find in the books.

Now even us guys in the US can tie top quality flies
