More Information
Michael has taken his book Tying the Classic Salmon Fly and produced a like-titled DVD that is a superbly produced, two disk, 3-hour seminar on tying the Jock Scott. However, only the title and the subject tie the book to the DVD; while the book will remain useful as a multi-faceted reference, the DVD provides in clear detail exactly how a complex pattern is tied, step by step. Each component of the fly is indexed on the DVD, in the order in which they are tied. Every step includes the necessary material preparation such as: splitting floss for tags; selecting tails; folding body hackles; or determining the correct position for the joints on a multi-jointed body, etc. The index also allows the user to review a single step as many times as necessary to understand, and master the technique. We found that to be especially helpful in building a tapered underbody, which for some of us has always been somewhat perplexing. Mike's instructions are clear and straightforward, and the photography and production quality are brilliant. This is a very well produced private salmon fly tying clinic with the man that Marvin Nolte has referred to as "the finest salmon fly tyer I know," and that is strong praise indeed.
