Hello Dave, I have just started to tie my own flies and found your videos rather good. I have always bought my flies and from now on will be tying my own. I fish the river Tweed on the Peebleshire beat and was wondering if you could recomend any flies for fishing the Tweed that as a beginner I could tie . Thanks, Paul.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your e-mail. I am not familiar with fly tying material suppliers in the US…….living in the UK. I tend to use mainly Uni – Threads in 6/0 and 8/0 . Cheaper to buy the 200yd bobbins and the colour selection is good.
Hope this helps
Happy Fishing

Hello Dave,

I recently discovered your website and appreciate it very much. I’m new to flytying and find it extremely helpful.

What kind of thread do you recommend, and what is a good supplier in the US for flytying supplies?

Thanks so much,

Greg Shapley

Hi D Beaudet
thanks for your e-mail. Sorry but at the moment we do not do a DVD. We have given serious thought to doing it but I am a practising geriatric and my son has a proper life to live. (He is not a fisher). The year is young and who knows what the future will bring.
Happy fishing
Dave C. and the Team.

Glad to hear you are bearing up and are on the mend. Having had CT ops on hands I do dread the cold weather. And that I see is something that you have been getting a lot of this last week.
Seasons greetings to you and yours from your follwers in the mid west.
