Are your books available in Austria??

I actually 100% agree with you about fly fishing… but the problem I find with it is that is more art than fishing… to the extent that you are considered an expert if you can make beautiful flies and you can make intricate casts and drifts… and the catching fish becomes optional… and then it becomes pointless …and if you go too far it is no longer considered fishing …if it is your thing sure - go for it …but if I need fish to eat - I go to dynamite, euro nymphing or nets (in this order btw 🙂)… absolutely stunning video btw, you have a real talent 👍

thank you very much for a beautiful and inspiring video. the scenery and story were just wonderful

Love Gordon’s books. He’s pushed me to become so much more proficient and changed the way I think about my bugs.

Nice fly, thanks Gordon, will definitely tie a few for my box) I also love CDC - recently collected some very nice feathers from ducks that have nice head-balls - try if you can find those in your area, I am sure you will love it too. I also like going towards simplicity of the flies - the recent ones I tied are just the ice dub and some UV - look real. I have also abandoned the beads - creating my own using a wire and different resins - it is more fun than putting something ready made). Great sharing the same passion for fly tying & fishing: nice energy you share.

First of all, wrap the entire working shank of the hook with a peacock feather. You will be pleasantly surprised, it will become many times more catchable!!)

Gordon, this is great. I enjoyed both your April volker fly tying session but especially the piece you did set in the cape hunting yellow fish….enchanting dialogue, enchanting photography and ditto soundtrack. A perfect haiku of a film. One question….would you use a light colour / transparent thread for the hopper…to mark it up as you suggest. I think I remember you saying you tend to tie with light colour thread for that reason? Ie, shows up pen marks? Would Vevus nano silk do the trick? 12/0 but it’s super strong….am sure I could get it to lie flat. Thx 🙏

An amazing video on the thinking of why we fly fishing this video allows an insight into this sport and way of life . More please ....!,,

and he uses the best vise :)

Absolutely fantastic! Love everything about it but especially the origin story and the passion. Books aren't bad either :)

This was so well done! Beautiful.

What a beautiful film! Well done.

First I’ve ever heard of fly fishing on the dark continent; love it!

i am transfixed by your simplicity with attention to detail. no epoxy. no head cement. I hope to see more.

Klinkhamer !

Love the tying and the SA accent. Great fly thanks.

That truly was a beautiful video and captures perfectly what fly fishing really does to your soul.

Beautifully said. Outstanding production.

And some call this a mere ' hobby '......they haven't got a clue. It's like a religion, a way of living.

And you my friend are brilliant 😉

Great terrestrial pattern…so much easier than the plethora of complicated hopper patterns out there…may I ask what the thickness of the foam you’re using? 2mm,3mm or 4mm?

He is a genius!

No one taught me how to fly fish or tie flys! I started with worms at 5 and flys at 14…figured it out as I went along and still learning,now in my 70’s! Of course, with the internet, there is an almost unlimited amount of info. on this now!

If one didn’t want to put the biots in your mouth, you could soak them in hot water instead! Sometimes feathers and furs are treated with mothballs etc. so you could be exposing yourself to unnecessary risk!

Great tie, agree with you that the simpler the tie the better.

Fly tying just calms me down …I tie 2/3 flies every day…it’s the best therapy I know … this film is amazing and one day it will help explain to my kids why I tie and fly fish…for that alone, thank you Gordon

Thanks for all the tying tips and tricks that you’re sharing from your experience … very helpful and relaxing

Great profile and movement Gordon…what did we do before CDC 😄 nice generic pattern…thanks for sharing and explaining the tying step by step

Beautiful …love the addition and movement of the CDC …fish seem to love your variant…thanks for sharing Gordon

👌👍

Lovely film Gordon!! I agree about art and flyfishing!

What an awsome video.

Amazing video

What a great treatise on fly tying and fishing.

This film and thoughts are beautiful. Thank you!

Had the privilege to be guided by Anthea over December on the Orange, she is fantastic.

Great video -- just poetry in motion. Nature is so amazing. Thanks Anthea--you must be booked solid.

Wow just wow! I have just started the tying journey!

This was a great video have you made any other projects. I really enjoyed this!

Awesome work, love it and so true fly fishing and fly tying can change you life❤

Mooi video.

Gordon's approach and fly tying are amazing ,I first fished Lesotho and Bokong in 2005 and 2006 it was for free ,amazing times ,yearning to go back 💓

Stunning Visual to drive an exceptional story! Wow!

I still need to fish the Bokong I'm in such love with Lestho the fact that I live in Clarens and Lestho being rite on my door step 🔥🔥

wow great vid storytelling edit photography beautiful. Great story too!😎👍

This is one of the most beautiful, spiritual things I have ever watched. Why we fish, why we tie, so beautifully explained. Thank you

Simply amazing. Inspiration to the beautiful fish, insects, and locations a fly fisher seeks. Thanks

Uhauuu😮 fantastic 😊

brilliant

Well done! Fly tying is very important to me in fly fishing too. The first time a trout or similar type of fish takes your fly out off all the natural food is just so amazing feeling!
