lol It’s great that these surgeons have so much spare time on their hands?? I’m sure that this very expensive and fantastic operating device is surely put to the use it’s intended for. With all that said I’m sure that this does show it’s very capable uses in surgeries and just how precise and very delicate the machine operates. My local Hospital has just purchase one and has begun it’s use in several types of surgeries, with more to come in the future. I’m sure that the daVinci will be a great
I’d let this person operate on me!
Excellent! Another worth while use of hospital technology! I would have never imagined that the divinci system could have done that!

Great Videos Dave! I’ve seen this fly in other books but they always had legs from hackle, ill that make much of a difference?
I just went down to buy a vise and tools to start tying my own flys and I struggled, it wasn’t until I watched your videos that i was able to complete my first fly. Thanks so much Dave. Happy Fishing
I just did this one also …. No 12 hooks so far. I’m getting the hang of this. I’ll go down to No 16 or 20s soon.
I want to try a wolley worm. Any videos on that, Dave?
This set of films set me on a mission to start tying my own flys .
Dave thank you ,keep it up ,great
David, Thanks so much for the Great Fly Tying Videos! I’ve been tying for a couple years, mostly for blue gill fishing here in Wisconsin, US. When winter sets in here I spend a few months restocking my fly collection since it’s too cold to do anything else. It’s so nice to watch someone tying closeup like this. I’ve been going through your lessons in order and just wanted to say Thankyou. I’d be more then happy to send a little money your way for all that you’ve shown me.
hi could please tell me which of the flies yoy make would be good for freshwater newzeland
David, I’m new to tying flies. What fly tying vise do you recommend? I’ve got a Griffin Mongoose Rotary. Are the more expensive vises forth their price?
Thanks for yo0ur input and your lessons.

Hi Dave,
Weldone to you and the team on providing these wonderful videos. Its great to see people sharing the knowledge and wisdom of fly tying.
Paul.
All I can say is that your video was the first one I looked up after getting my new fly-tying kit. After watching you, I’m going to throw my instruction manual away because you are much easier to follow!!! I wish I could give you a big hug! Thank you!!!
hi dave, a while back you told me that this fly was good for chub, and i found this out when i banged into a 5lb 9oz monster on a trout session, and two casts later, along came a 5lb 2oz rainbow along with around 30 others averaging 3lb! what a great fly!
Not sure why my post didn’t go under eggmanpop’s question. You can also tie on some lead wire for weight to this pattern.
Give the Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear a try. David tied it in his Lesson 3.
hi dave i;m a fly tier from eastern ct.usa i love your variation of th pt nymph i think its one of the best flies ever tied and should be a standard in any fly box that fly has caught countless trout. i sometimes leave it tied on until theres hardly anything left keep up the good work i heard you comment in one of your videos about the old man that taught you how to tie as i too had the same tutelege he taught me how to tie a fly out of heron and starling that he called a killer and boy was it
