Fly Tying Book Review - The Feather Bender's Flytying Techniques
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2020
- Published in 2019, Barry Ord Clarke's "The Feather Bender's Flytying Techniques" is a first-of-its-kind instructional book that combines detailed step-by-step instructions with a partnering video of him tying each pattern.
With 28 trout patterns, there are flies for every level of tier. From beginner to expert, this book is a great addition to any tier's library.

Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging and teaching fly tying to as many people as possible. The channel is named after one of my western Maryland homewaters, the Savage River. I've been uploading at least three new videos a week (usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).
Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tying tips you would like to share or if you have any patterns you would like to see tied here.

Thanks for the review Matt, pleased that you like it. A new book coming in 2021 within the same concept 'Fly Tying for Beginners' .
Thank YOU Barry. For the comment and all the good you do for our community. You are an inspiration to many of us. Looking forward to this year's book! Cheers. -Matt
Barry has been my go-to guy now, for, wow....years.
I didn’t realize it until I watched this review.
Thanks for the review.

Yes, he is amazing! And seems to be so helpful and probably a really nice guy too. I've learned a ton from his tying. 👍
Totally agree with your philosophy on fly tying and tiers. Thank Matt.
You got it Clyde, thanks for the support!
Thanks Matt. My daughter gave me this book for Christmas as well as FFF Fly Pattern Encyclopedia. I really like the QRC codes that link you to his videos. I like that he is trying to stretch your skills. I think each fly featured will enable you to do other similar flies with the same materials.
Matt, You are definitely right about Barry's channel and his book. Great content and an abundance of useful tips. Likewise, he really does get back to commenters...so much so, it baffles me!
Jim- no kidding! And he's so positive and encouraging, just a great leader in the community. :-)
I've been watching Barry's channel for already several years, and I'm a subscriber to that. Therefore I appreciate very much your attitude to it, Matt. I've learnt much from Barry, and learning much from you. Thanks, guys, for your dedication to the fly-tyers society, your experience, together with your inspiration for the newcomers. Great job!
Thanks S.B., I really appreciate the encouraging comments! This really is a great community and I look forward to doing anything I can to help it grow. Cheers. -Matt

Great book, own it. Thanks for sharing, Ron Brooks
Thanks Ron; appreciate the note!
Love your efforts and would enjoy the book 👍
You got it Jim; with this comment, you're entered. Cheers. -Matt
I am glad you said what you did. I really liked the book, but great photography makes the very complex patterns look way simpler than they are. I was getting frustrated, and I have been tying off and on for probably 30 years. I am glad I was not the only one that felt that way.
Thank you for the time you put into these videos. The history in the beginning is great. I’d love to be entered into the drawing as well. Thanks.
You got it Bernie; you're in!
Good Morning Sir Matt, Yes Sir I am very interested in winning this book. I'm familiar with Barry Ord Clarke channel and watch it also. I don't see the both of you as competitors I see the both of you as great teachers for people who want to learn how to tie flies I'm not just saying this but I like your channel probably just a little bit more because you're more down-to-earth and I feel connected to you by your personality and teaching and I like that. You can here the Joy and Happiness in your voice and that motivates me. Thank You Sir Matt.
Edward- much appreciate the encouraging comments! Thanks for always watching and helping grow the channel. I got you entered my friend. Cheers. -Matt
Sweeeeeeet book. I’d like to be drawing. Thanks for the opportunity to be considered for this drawing ! :)
You got it Lloyd. You're entered with this comment! Cheers. -Matt

Another great review, Matt! 👍🏻
Thank you my friend; appreciate you watching!
Love Barry 👍 great choice
Oh yeah, the dude is an amazing tier. And we're fortunate that he puts his work on RUclips for us all to enjoy and learn from!
Thanks Matt, sounds like a great book
Will have to check it out
Thanks Dave; it really is a pretty good book!
Morning Matt, keep up the great work you do. I to wish the fly tying community would grow, and I love his channel. He is an amazing tyer . Would love to get my hands of his books. You have a great day.
You got it Thomas; you're entered my friend! Thanks for the note. Cheers. -Matt
Thanks for the book review Matt. You hit the nail on the head, started tying before we had RUclips and there were no tying people around me. So I have to figure out what to do by reading the books. Easy patterns are always my favorite.
I'm with you there James! My first tying book was a beginner's book from Orvis in the 1980s. Sitting at my mom's kitchen table learning to tie an Adams. Oh boy, those first flies were scary. :-)
Matt that's great b arry is one of the great ones as u know.but you do a great job as well.thanks!!
Thanks Mike! I do appreciate the encouraging comments. Cheers. -Matt
Count me in for the drawing please Mat. That looks like a great book! And thanks for for supporting us subscribers so well! Daryl
You got it Daryl, and I appreciate YOUR support. :-)
Great review man.
It's funny, I actually found your channel through Barry's.
One of your videos was a suggested video, while I was watching some of his.
Definitely glad I clicked the link.
Love your tying tutorials.
Very easy for me to follow along, especially since I've only been tying for a couple months.
That IS funny. Good ol' RUclips recommendations. :-)
Excellent review on the book. I feel the same way, it doesn't feel like other youtubers are competitors, most of the time it feels like a whole community!
Exactly right Otto! But sometimes I can't help but feel jealous when I see other channels out there, who have below average content, and haven't made a video in nine months, and they still get more subscribers every month than I do! Oh well... we keep grinding. But your channel! I'm watching you grow like crazy. You might hit that 1,000 threshold by Thanksgiving! :-)
Oh wow. I need to catch up on my Savage videos! Great video and review as always Matt. Even though I did not win this time Ill still purchasing that book. Thanks!
Yeah, you better Jeremy! I've been on a tear for the last week posting almost every day! How are you liking the Peak vise? Have you tied anything with it yet??
I got the book,it's fabulous!
Agree! Barry is a true master. :-)
HEY MATT JUST ORDERED THE BOOK FROM AMAZON....CANT WAIT TO GET IT....THANKS MATT...AS ALWAYS I WILL BE WATCHING...
Great Joe, I think you'll really like it! (You'll also be amazed at how great of a photographer Barry is.)
@@SavageFlies OH AND GOT MY RINGNECK PHEASANT HIDE FROM AMAZON THAT YOU DID FOR THAT SERIES FIRST ONE FOR ME...DOING A LOT OF FIRST FROM YOUR CHANNEL WELL THINK THAT WAS ALL I HAD TO TELL YOU THANKS MATT
@@harryjoesather6539 My pleasure Joe. I'm tying up another with the ringneck tonight for Saturday's video. Michael came up with this one and it's called the Elverton Fat Daddy. Funny name. :-)
That book and charlie cravan's are my top two
Oh yeah, I've got two of Charlie's books and they're both great!
Good video. Interesting book.
Thanks Tanner- it really is a beautiful book!
awesome would love to have this book in my book collection....and awesome youtube channel you have enjoy watching your videos....thanks
You got it Harry, you're entered!
@@SavageFlies awesome thank you very much...have a wonderful night
Nice review you always make good ones. I look forward to getting back into tying for my winter break, it would be nice if I could have a chance to win this so I can learn some new patterns.
You got it Jonathan; you're entered. And I agree, there's nothing like tying (and dreaming about fishing) on these cold winter weekends. Cheers. -Matt
Huh! The giveaways just keep coming!! Great content as always.
You got it Oleksi, entered! Thanks!!
Hi, thanks for the book review. It looks really good. I watch Feather Bender Channel too.
James- you're most welcome! This comment gets you entered my friend. Good luck! -Matt
Definitely love the way you look at things.
Nice book and the pictures are awesome the scan code thing to videos is a smart thing, I like.it but I'm to new to fly tying should go to a more experienced fly tying tier. Keep it Tying.
Thanks Pablo. Keep tying and you'll be there before you know it. But DO watch his channel, just don't get discouraged when you tie one of his patterns and it's not as nice as his. Not many people can tie one as nice as what he does. :-)
Put me in the drawing!! Thanks Matt!!
You got it my friend; you're in!
It is a great book. Barry also did the photographic work for Petitjean CDC book. As always, thanks for posting. BZ
Always Arthur! Appreciate you watching. Got you entered. :-)
@@SavageFlies Matt, I already have the two books I commented on. Thank you anyway.
Great review, as always. I’d love to enter the drawing
You're in Benjamin! Good luck. Cheers. -Matt
Closing in on 1k subscribers...looks like a great book
Yep, we're getting there! Hopefully before Christmas. Thanks for watching. :-)

Thanks John! I appreciate you watching.
@@SavageFlies keep it going
I would love to have that book
Michael- this comment gets you entered! Thanks for watching my friend. Cheers. -Matt
Nice. Thanks for reviewing books!! Giveaway entry please
You got it George! Appreciate you watching. :-)
$20 on Amazon
Might pull the trigger on it
I agree, a lot of Berry's patterns are difficult, fir advanced tiers.
I tie for five years and my Humpy still doesn't look good...
But his channel /Book are very good and more for traditional patterns, like your channel (no Perdigons in all variations)
Thank you my friend! I tried a humpy last year, after about three terrible flies, I gave up. I should take my own advice and keep trying it until I get one right. :-)
@@SavageFlies good to know, I'm not alone with the Humpy Problem 😉
@@icedaft -You're definitely not! I tied six humpys the other day, and only two of them are in my fly box. :-)
im interested in the drawing Matt ... thanks
You got it James; you're entered! Cheers. -Matt
Cool don't have his book yet
Colin- got you entered my friend. Cheers. -Matt
I need to know, have you ever read the Favorite flies for Pennsylvania book? I’m thinking about getting that or this
I have not, if you're talking about this one: amzn.to/3i5SiU5 But I may just have to. It looks like a great book! If you end up getting it, let me know how it is. I might want to do a review of it.
@@SavageFlies yeah that’s the one
I’m torn between the feather benders book, the one I told you about, or the fly tying for beginners 50 flies book.
If you're still pretty new to tying, my first recommendation is usually Dave Hughes Essential Trout Flies.
@@SavageFlies ok I’ll check it out
cool looking book thanks and yes I would like to be entered
You got it my friend. Thanks for watching!
I would like to participate in the drawing for the Barry Ord Clarke book. Thank You.
You got it Lee; you're in!
Try watching Kelly Gallop, He’s very entertaining and has good patterns.
Oh yeah, Kelly is an amazing tier. I always thought he leaned more toward the big meaty streamer patterns, which I don't tie or fish that often. I'll have to check him out again. Thanks for the note Gary!
Kelly's flies are top notch and he has done a great job advancing large streamer patterns .However, his videos are very thorough but with a bit too much dialogue for the content.
Ben- yep, I agree. Great content in his videos, but it is indeed a time commitment. Same with Josh Varner, who ties a lot of Kelly's flies, and does great, but you have to be ready to spend 30+ minutes watching!
I’d like to enter for that one please.
You're entered my friend! Not by much though. I'm about to do the drawing. :-)
I want entered into the drawing plaese and thankyou!
Absolutely, Josh. Done! Thanks for watching. :-)
