I know it’s been featured on the site a few times before, but who can argue with how well a nicely tied Copper John looks. this one is from My Life on the Fly Blog and is available in HD with some nice clear video.

This guy sounds sedated like he’s on something………the patterns are standard patterns, nothing special………….
lol, sedated.
I posted this for the nice video and a well tied pattern. Hopefully with some feedback the audio can improve a bit and the pattern selection gets a bit more adventurous.
No, I was not sedated when I made this. I’m a 15 year old kid, give me a break. lol.
Keep up with the videos Gaeron, I think they are good. Use the feedback both good and bad to keep improving.
Nicely done. The audio sounded all right to me.
I’ve taped myself tying flies a few times before, and I always sound… sedated. Just concentrating on tying and speaking at the same time is enough to slow you down.
