Beginning of a Pattern Library

[cchobot]

We need your help, we want to build a really great pattern library complete w/ video and links to the products you need to tie the flies. Check out the example here:

http://www.saltwateredge.com/Rays-Fly-Video.html

We're hoping to accomplish a few things with this format:

1) provide an easy way for beginners and to get into tying
2) see where we're lacking in product selection and fill in the gaps
3) make buckets and buckets of money off the products to fund our company trip to Islamorada next winter

Well, the third one seems pretty unlikely, but we're hoping to follow through on the first two. If you all could recommend products we currently don't have or patterns you'd like to see in the library it'd be much appreciated. It's a pretty slow process w/ the video taking the most to set up, but we feel like the finished product is pretty great. Any ideas to make it even better?

Hello Chris,

I thought that you might want to look at one of my tube fly patterns for your pattern library. It is a relatively easy fly to tie, using Bob's Hollow Fleye technique and flash-blending with my Polar Pony hair.
Let me know if you are interested.
