scan them - Dryrod - 06-16-2011 I'm always coming across neat flies with pictures and a how to tie them. Well who needs a file draw full of pages cut out from here and there, so I scan them into my PC and then can catalog them as I wish.

My problem is deciding between it all, and then I have to figure out if I can tie it decently or not. Unfortunately what I tie is usually a bit of a mess, but some of the fish aren't too picky! [signature] Re: [Dryrod] scan them - flygoddess - 06-16-2011 Awesome idea! [signature] Re: [Dryrod] scan them - macfly55 - 06-17-2011 I like that idea... I sometimes get a little confuse with printed directions soooooooo... what I do is as I see a video that I like I save it as a favorite and then copy that folder to a thumb drive.. I can plug that drive into any computer and I have a video demonstration of a fly I want to tie.. also.. Im learning a little bit about rss feeds and recently started getting automatic updated feeds from one site with video demos of the flies being tied..

Since I also tie at my PC desk I can watch a video stopping any where when I need to catch up. Can you imagine a fly fisherman from the past reading our comments wondering what language that we're speaking.
