My wife gifted me this book for my birthday. It is a very informative book that is easy to read, and not only does it talk about how to tie the patterns, but it also gives tips on fishing them, and lot of other unrelated information. I have also listened to your podcast, and it was a wonderful presentation also. Thank you for sharing this video, as this gives us a brief list of tips for supplementing your podcast. I know I will return often to this to refresh!

Craig Matthews is an icon of our sport and the pheasant tail may have caught more fish than any other pattern.

Bought the book and liked it so much that I gifted one to my son for Christmas (with a pheasant tail for a bookmark) along with a new tying vice. Needed to get him started on the right track! A pheasant tail pattern has been my #1 producer for many years.

I was over at the page for the extended show, and the first Patagonia video on Simplicity shows a Sparkle Dun with a dubbed body.
