Video: Tying a Damselfly Nymph

Santa brought me a new video camera.  While it will get most of it’s use at chorus concerts and the kids’ sporting events, it’ll spend its off time at the tying bench and on the water…

I’ve got a lot to learn when it comes to this video stuff, but I gotta say that I’m pretty happy with the results of the tying video I did below at the camera’s default settings and basic lighting.  I should be able to ramp up the quality level a notch or two once I figure out all the buttons and stuff.

Anyways, here is a video tutorial on how to tie a very simple damselfly nymph pattern that proved itself over and over again on my local panfish puddles in ‘09.

    Sweet video. Hey, if you don’t have any of that peacock herl ice dubbing, could you make it work w/ plain old peacock herl or should it just turn into a good excuse to buy some new material?

    Steve,
    You can use whatever you want, but I’d use the excuse to get more materials…
