Fly Tying Intermediate Lesson 3. This lesson shows what you need and how to make your own fishing flies. In this fly tying tutorial Dave demonstrates a ‘Klinkhammer’.

your bobin holder might have sharp edges.
Just get a bit of sand paper or the like and give a few turns inside the shaft of the bobin holder!
check the thickness of your thread, it’s measured in deniers and will be indicated somewhere on the spool. You may want to be closer to the 210 range if you’re starting out..
my thread always breaks. How do i prevent that?
cool !! good videos!!
very clean, very precise, and very professional, good video
GREAT VIDEOS I collected fly tying materials for years and could never find a class near my home. I started tying from watching your videos and now have over 400 flies to my credit.
Excellent Dave….. keep it up, I even got my 16 year old daughter into flytying after she watched your videos.
hi dave!.thx for the vids.they realy helped me with my flies.I have a request can u post more vids please thx u rock =D.
Thanks again Dave, I get so much pleasure from your lessons, better be careful though as the tying prove to be could be more popular than the actual fishing.
Thanks Dave,What a good video,makes things a lot clearer for myself now.Cheers
MR.CAMMISS i have another question i have seen people ty this fly with 2 hackles at the same time. Does it make any difference if its tyed that way?
Hi topflyman, Your a STAR! thank you so much or helping me get my head and fingers around the art of fly tying. I have now even caught my first trout on one of my own flys. Ta very much. Andy Hemus
Hi eagleflies
Thanks for your comments.
Sorry I do not know much about American patterns. However if you have the materials for the pattern the technique is the same.
Happy fishing.

Great Job Dave, It would be easy to make a boring fly tying intructional video, but you succeeded easily in making a very entertaining one. Your humor and attitude make these very enjoyable to watch. All this aside from the fact that they are an extremely well laid-out teaching tool.
these are very good videos Dave. is there any chance of showing how to tie a wet style Wickhams Fancy. please thanks dave

Hi Ron
The man behind the lens is my younger son Jon.
He is getting even better all the time. I have the easy bit tying the flies and Andy does the background music.Neither fish but they support the old man.
Happy New Year
