NEW HOOKED ON FLY TYING TITLES & RECIPES

24 new titles recorded in digital widescreen High Definition format by the world’s premier fly tying program producers Jim & Kelly Watt, these programs are educational/instructional DVD’s designed for all levels of fly tyers.

This DVD debuts new information as Don Bastian introduces his proprietary and unique method of material handling to simplify the assembly and construction of married wing trout flies. His new technique eliminates the confusion and difficulty often associated with handling wing quill and tail slips.
