Fly Tying for beginners

If you've been reading this blog, you'll probably know about my YouTube channel, that might even be how you got here.  Well It's growing nicely and For the most part the feedback is good, and I am getting better at the filming and editing.  One thing I have been getting asked about though is beginner's stuff.  So I decided I'd do a beginner series of simple flies that catch fish and help beginners become more adept in their tying skills.  I'm starting with some still water trout videos and I'll move on to river bugs, dries and eventually salt water covering a range of basic and slightly more advanced  skills as I go. with the flies within each section becomming slighlty less easy as they go along.

Here's the first video

Despite its simplicity, this fly is a great taker of both trout and grayling and frankly, the partridge and yellow should be in every river angler's box.
