Description

Constructing the bodies of artificial fishing flies has historically always been a question of wrapping various materials around the hook shank. However, there is much more a fly tyer can do with body materials than merely wrapping them around the hook shank. Probably the most dramatic alternative to the traditional method is ‘Weaving’.

This DVD is all about woven fly bodies. The techniques are shown simply, clearly and in great detail.

Even a relative newcomer to fly tying can, with a little patience and perseverance master the advanced techniques.

Five weaving techniques are covered on this DVD in very clear detail:

Parallel or Shuttle Weave
Pott Weave
Overhand or Knot Weave
Half Hitch Weave
Chequer Weave

Oliver also then ties a pattern using each weave and gives suggestions for other flies that would benefit from the specific style of weaving.

The DVD runs for 3 hours, 15 minutes
