Welcome to DFI’s Fly Tying Library. This section of our web site is solely dedicated to the multitudes of tyers who visit our web site and join us at our presentations and tying sessions across the country. We share the exact materials and procedures on how to duplicate our flies with full detail, intricacies, and illustration.
Tyers have ability to order and receive a hard copy (physical) or order and receive a digital download of the ties.
Here’s what you receive when ordering a hard copy tying DVD from our store:
DVDs are priced from $9.95 to $19.95 and based on the number of recipes you receive in the pattern. If you order, for example, a “Beetle,” we don’t sell that fly in a different color so there’s only one recipe-thus the price is $9.95. The “Searcher,” is tied in seven colors with seven recipes; the cost of that DVD is $15.95, and you receive the full recipes for all seven bugs. We will tie only one fly in each series, but you’ll have recipes for all colors in that series.
Price of digital downloads is the price of the hard copy less $4.
In the latter stages of many mayfly hatches, the predominant phase of the bug is its spent position, meaning the bug has died and it lays flat, belly down on the surface with its wings spread. Fish target this phase and you must match it because the fish will not entertain any other stage of the hatch you might be offering. A DFI Spinner is the ultimate hatch match with CDC wings, biot bodies, and articulated tails. Want to finish the hatch with power? Tie this bug in all colors!!
Dry Fly Innovations is a family-owned dry fly fishing business that has built a colossal archive of knowledge. The combination of their books, videos, blogs, and live and Zoom presentations represents the largest body of dry fly information in one place.
