Just last November, Dimtiri Ristic had a fly tying demo at the Izaak Walton Fly Fishing Club in Mississauga, Ontario. He tied a great looking Green Drake Nymph. Here we have his demo video tutorial with steps, instructions and tips. Sit back, enjoy and give it a shot. A super-effective pattern, proven many times over.
