Daft as it may seem I have a load of minkies and rarely use them these days.......I am getting old and prefer the more leisurely nymph fishing. Our club has tickets for Blithfield but I have never got round to going there. Happy fishing Dave C.and the Team Hi Tony
Thanks for your comments. Daft as it may seem I have a load of minkies and rarely use them these days…….I am getting old and prefer the more leisurely nymph fishing. Our club has tickets for Blithfield but I have never got round to going there.
Happy fishing

Just to say we had an awsome day on Blithfield with your minkie (colours modified). The way it works through the water at any speed is amazing. It is obviously ideal for early season as well. Thanks so much! Hello David.

It makes us smile and it makes the effort well worth while. Nice for someone to speak so highly of Jon behind the camera and me. Beware ...... flytying can become addictive, but you are the first to be tempted to eat their own flies..........make sure you de-barb the hook first. I cannot guarantee you will enjoy the taste. Happy Fishing DaveC.and theTeam Hi Karroovlakte

Been reading and watching DVD's etc., but this beats them all. Your instruction is wonderfully clear, the camerawork spot on and you really create confidence by simplifying things so well. Last night, I almost got tears when my third Diawl Bach came out so exquisite that I almost ate it myself. Now I am off to try my hand at the minkie. Thank you very much for enhancing my enjoyment of this wonderful activity so much. I have recently started tying and as with everything fishing, I try to do things right from the beginning.

I just want to say thankyou, your website has been not only educational, but fun. Are you planning on adding more lessons? Or maybe you do lessons for a fee? Regards Paul Hi Dave,

(your videos are better than a thousand pics) It would be great if you did a river/stream specific set in the future. Happy Angling! Best resource I have come across for the beginner fly tyer.
