I have really enjoyed Oliver Edwards' DVDs. There are several - none are cheap. He does a great job (in my opinion) in explaining WHY he does things, as well as HOW. The production quality is fantastic (each fly shot from several angles, professional quality sound, etc.). Each DVD has a section on how to fish the pattern(s)...so you can see Oliver fishing as well.

Byard, forgive me, I'm going to have a purely fly tying related post!
Regarding fly tying videos (or books, web sites), preferably DVDs, I ask the many opinions of my fellow VFBers as to those they are most impressed with or those which have been most helpful. I am mostly intested in those which reveal techniques, alternative methods, shortcuts, unusual or specialty techniques/methods. Here is my meager library, less the coffee table books, of what hasn't been lent out for perpetuity;
- Fly Tying, The Angler's Art, with Dave Engerbreston and LeRoy Hyatt (1-4)
- Tying Western Trout Flies, Jack Dennis
- Tying and Fishing Attractors, Gary LaFontaine
- My Favorite Fishing Flies, Poul Jorgensen
- Fly Tying Basics, Jack Dennis (going to a deserving young tyer)
- Fly Tiers Benchside Reference (book) by Leeson & Schollmeyer
- Hatches II (book) by Caucci & Nastasi
As you can see, my film library is almost bare and lacking many worthy videos. What videos do you consider impressive to you? Thanks in advance to all.
