Resources, from John Kreft’s web page https://www.johnkreft.com/resources/ Resources for your Fly Fishing and Fly Tying. Bead Conversion Table • Here is a Bead Conversion Table I created. Hope you like it. Fly Tying Hook Conversion Table • This is the Fly Tying Hook Conversion Table I created and use. Favorite Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Books • Some of my favorite books. Fly Fishing Road Trips • Here is an easy way to find posts in RiverKeeper Flies for the waters we’ve fished. I use my posts for planning future trips. It reminds me of the successful flies used to catch fish. Links to Free Old Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Books • Here is a list of over 40 titles which you can download and read for free. Copyrights have expired for these books that were written between 1740 – 1922. Many are classics you can enjoy. Atlas of Oregon Lakes • If you fish lakes, this in an invaluable resource which shows detailed information. You’ll find ramps and depths which helps determine where the fish are located. Fishing Knots • Netknots.com by my friend John Sherry is a great site to learn the knots needed to fish. I use an Improved Clinch knot to tie on flies, triple Surgeon knot for tippet, Perfection Loop for loop-to-loop (if needed), and a Nail knot to attach the fly line. Most fly lines these days come with a welded loop in the end. And many purchased leaders also have a loop to attach to the fly line. • Additional knots I use from time to time include the Blood knot for connecting larger diameter monofilament when creating a tapered leader and the Turle knot for steelhead flies. • Bob provided a Comment on the website and mentioned he used the Davy knot. I decided to check it out. I like it. Simple, small, and strong. • John has some wonderful knot card that fit in your pocket, bag, or vest if you need a refresher on how to tie the proper knots. You can see them HERE. These are resources that John has created, with the benefit of his eye, experience, and excellence, or organized, - and shared. I’ve used most of them, with gratitude over the last 5 years. With respect, I think (?) he might possibly have missed one (although he does, thankfully, share it also)…. His Fly Patterns sheet. (RiverKeeperFlies) https://www.johnkreft.com/fly-patterns-3/ He also has two Blogs, which you can sign up for, and, from examples he’s provided on multiple occasions, ties excellent special order flies (contact him through his web page) -JH https://www.johnkreft.com .
