Freshwater Fly Tying.

Mick Hall's Fly Tying Masterclass 1.

To take a trout on a fly that you have developed and tied yourself is an experience like no other. Trout fishing at this level is an immensely satisfing experience.

Starting from the basics of hook proportions and tools, Mick takes us through the making of seven of the most popular flies. Mick explains in clear detail each step and shows the key materials and methods required for each pattern. Plus there is a section devoted to the selection of hackles and an animated explanation of hooks and construction proportions.

Masterclass 1
features the following flies:
Brown Nymph
Green Beetle
Red Tag
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Coachman
March Brown
Elk Hair Caddis

Program 90 minutes approx.

The materials and tying techniques of these simpler flies are explained in a way which makes clear the general principles and proportions behind successful fly tying.

Fly tying is seen by many as an essential part of fishing.
Fly tiers can build into their flys the features which accurately reflect the local conditions. They then have the advantage of presenting a natural, appropriate and irresistable morsel to the wiley trout.

This program will show you how to tie a number of well-known patterns and give you the techniques and confidence to go on a develop your own variations.

The flies in Masterclass 1 are shown with build stage diagrams in Mick's Fly Box.
