I've just been suckered into becoming the newsletter and publications editor for my local branch of the FDG. I've been looking around with limited success so I thought I'd ask on here, do any of you know of any good sites where I could download clear step by step tying instructions for our fly of the month competition? Obviously, there would have to be no copyright issues.

Haven't checked it in a little while but www.globalflyfisher.com was always a mine of information about patterns and other stuff. You might want to check their home page first for any views about 'pinching' their material. Always worth e-mailing them to seek approval first, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for that Argyle. Just had a quick look and it seems they would be happy to allow use of their material subject to an E-mail.

 

Thanks again.

After nearly 2 years gestation period, this very site will soon have its' own flytying section. Full instructions on how to tie tails, bodies, hackles and wings, and including (eventually) over 100 patterns....

 

Just a bit of pre-emptive advertising :D

Good idea, this is a very quiet forum at present. Hopefully it will raise a lot of interest.

I certainly hope so :rolleyes:

 

In time I will post a list of the flies I already have patterns for, and will also be asking for contributions. However, it is my intention to include a detailed photograph of the finished fly, so if you send a pattern for inclusion I would prefer a photo of the fly to be added.

 

More about that later though :)

Thanks for that Fisherman. It's perhaps not suitable for downloading and reproducing for a newsletter due to the necessary reloading of individual steps but makes for a very good reference to techniques. A good little snippet to add reference to for forthcoming newsletters. Much appreciated.
