A basic introduction to fly fishing. But to really get started you'll need to take a lesson or two from an experienced angler and then practice, practice, practice....preferably on the water. Going back and reviewing the tape after experiencing some on-the-water frustrations can be helpful.

Featuring widescreen digital composition and high definition Dolby stereo sound, The New Fly Fishing Basics is a DVD guide to essential fishing techniques, knots, equipment, and fly tying. From a wide variety of different casts (including but not limited to reach cast, slack line cast, jump roll cast, and wind casts), to a grounding in the simple entomology that fly fishers need to know, The New Fly Fishing Basics is especially ideal for relative newcomers to the sport, though veteran fishers will also appreciate the video demonstrations of a wide assortment of techniques. The perfect preparation before embarking upon a fly-fishing voyage with family or friends. 90 minutes, color.

This was a great basic information based learning system. I have no experience in fly fishing and feel that after watching this DVD I now have a basic enough knowledge to purdhuse and start fly fishing. There are basic techniques to advanced techniques. There is a basic blurb on how to tie basic flys, wooly buggers and dry flys. Teh only drawback is there was little on what to look for when you approach a lake or river, there was references to other DVDs by Bill Mart.

with all of the dvd/vhs videos out there on the market, I found this one to be a great starter video for someone just getting into fly fishing or one that wants to improve their sport. while some may say that the video spends too much time on casting and tying ... well, that's the art of fishing!! If you can't cast you're not going to have too much luck in catching! If you can't tie the necessary knots, well, then you're just going to get a lot of practice in what it feels like to lose a fish (that is, if you even were able to cast the line out!!!!) All kidding aside, this is a great video and I've watched it many times over and have corrected many of the common mistakes that I have found in my casting or other techniques. Enjoy!

THE DVD IS EXCELLENT, WELL ORGANIZED, IN HD AND PERFECT FOR THE BEGINNER. I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU COULD PRODUCE A BETTER INTRODUCTION TO FLY FISHING.

Dick Talleur...You're the greatest! If you have ever spent an evening trying to learn something from a VHS tape, and I have. You know how time consuming it is to try to skip around and learn a specific technique.With Dick Talleur's new DVD, he has combined his two basic fly tying VHS videos into one, easy to navigate DVD. Not only can you pick the fly to tie, but there is a list of techniques, so you can refresh your memory on how to performa a particular operation.Great Work...hope to see more.

I got this dvd last month.Lefty and Bob are the go to men in fly fishing and tying. I have been tying for about 45 years myself and learned a few tips about tying. As I was watching the dvd I would look in the background and noticed all the materials they had. I thought I had a room full. I learned the right way to tie the Clouser flies.This is great for the beginner, they go thru a pattern step by step. This is one fantastic DVD I recommend it highly.

I am retired an decided that I wanted to learn how to tie flies. I bought a couple of books and read them. Since I live in a remote area with no other fly tyers near me that I know of, I thought that it would be useful to buy a video so that I could actually watch an experienced fltyer at work. Well, this video was a real disappointment. It does show some basic techniques and useful tips. It also shows how to tie two specific types of flies - Lefty's Deceiver and the Clouser Minnow. However, in general it presents the information in a VERY disorganized and incomplete manner. I also felt that the video itself was way too short. It's really too bad, because the fly tyers in the video are obviously knowledgeable and very experienced. I really expected much more from this video than I got. It wasn't a complete waste of money, but it could have been so much better.
