Episode 168 - Fly Design, an Innovators Special. As the name suggests, Voltz and Chris break down the approach for innovation in future fly designs by looking at past designs and world class innovators in fly design. The hosts have both been involved with internationally influential fly design, and have first hand insights into the problems these flies were designed to overcome, these are discussed at length during the show.
For those that like to let the creativity of fly design flow through them, or to those that would like to stay true to the original innovators motivation when tying flies, this show is action packed. There are so so many distractions in this modern era of fly tying that mute the understanding of a fly's original design, so we hope that this show offers the listener a re-approach to the way you view the flies you choose to maximise your results on the water... Sometimes following the beef is not enough, and the ability to adapt to your unique species, or a situation you find a common species can mean the difference between fly fishing being a hard thing, or an effective way to catch fish.
This show puts a big part of that puzzle in place for any level of fly tyer, fly designer, or fly consumer.... We both agree, that this episode is core information for improving your results on the water. Fun fact, the picture shown here is the very first fly of what is known as the Slow Water Game Changer, no others came before this fly anywhere in the world.... it is now a very popular fly internationally.
