We aim to make life easier and share the tips picked up in a lifetime. Jon's comment was, ' I keep on telling you how good I am.....now do you believe me?' He really does a great job and puts more thought into the photography than a lot of the 'pros.' The whole family is a team, unfortunately there is no room in the credits for the Tea Lady. We will do something about that when we do a DVD. Happy Fishing DaveC.and the Team Hi Peter

Yours is a great site for anyone wanting to tie their own flies. I tied my first fly in1975 and you cleared up a lot of mysteries tonight while I browsed lessons on your site. Also what a wonderful son you have to help get your message out so clearly. I think you are one of the lucky few who went through life and got it righlt. pw Thanks, Dave.

It is a first class resource for those of us beginning our fly fishing journey. Your relaxed manner, great knowledge and good quality videos have really helped me a lot. Thanks to you and your team. I am a whip finisher by choice (can't seem to make my fingers do your half hitches). The one video that was finally the key to managing the whip finisher can be seen at . Didn't have a clue until I saw this. It may be of use to your viewers who are having trouble starting whip finishes. Again many thanks and keep up the fantastic work. Regards Roman Dear David

I was a little concerned about what to buy in the way of materials but I feel a lot happier now I have seen you construct the majority of the surefire winner flies.Many thanks and keep up the good work. By the way if you can kick a ball you can have my job,I would rather be fishing.

It takes me twice as long to do as the double half hitch and I just cannot be bothered with it. My fishing buddy does a whip finish with his fingers.....makes it look easy but my fingers dont seem able to do it, and he is only 82 years old. Regards Dave C. Hi Steve

Just watched lesson 8, and yet another fly that looks complicated has been made to look easy!!...excellent lessons, excellent quality, excellent alkl round effort by you and your team...BTW...since your Spider tying lessons, i've gone spider mad!!!...now have a box full and fished a number of them with your PTN as the point fly...... if at all i'd like to see a whip finish incorporated into one of your lessons, i have seen a number of vodeo's but just cannot get the hang of them, I think, with your help, I will... again Well done all.....and thank you....... regards Steve Hi David…

We have a couple of clips to go out in the next two weeks. The next shoot we will do the klinkhammer....not really a beginners fly but will come with practice. Get yourself some light buzzer hooks size 10. Kamasan B100 are about the lightest. Regards DaveC. Hi Peanuts
