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.
The purpose of the Thunder Creek Streamer DVD is to give the tier the information and instruction to tie the Thunder Creek style of streamers. These streamers were developed by Keith Fulsher in the early 1960’s. They were original introduced in his book Tying and Fishing the Thunder Creek Series (Freshet Press) in 1973. The flies and style of tying have been refined over the years with an updated book, Thunder Creek Flies (Stackpole Books) in 2006.
These streamers truly represent a revolutionary style of tying in that they are designed to “match the hatch” of local baitfish. No other style(s) of steamers do this with the consistency of the Thunder Creek series. The style of tying lends itself to imitating baitfish in the fisherman’s local waters. The tier with just a modest amount of tying skill can create exceptional streamers for use anywhere big fish eat smaller fish.
