Unique Patterns with Dave SchmezerI must say, overall, if I can "tweak" someone's mind enough to "close the book", and THINK toward creativity, to consider the new ways to do things, I have done my job to further the art and craft of fly tying. Dave Schmezer is retired and has been tying flies for well over a decade. He and wife Sarah (the six kids are out of the nest) live in western Pennsylvania.

I must say, overall, if I can "tweak" someone's mind enough to "close the book", and THINK toward creativity, to consider the new ways to do things, I have done my job to further the art and craft of fly tying. Dave Schmezer is retired and has been tying flies for well over a decade. He and wife Sarah (the six kids are out of the nest) live in western Pennsylvania. When not trying to keep up with children spread all around the US or tending to chores on the "Ranch on the Ridge" or logging wood for winter heat, Dave is a full-time tier and fly designer.

He teaches fly tying at home and at several fly shops and is regularly found in the "Tyers Aisle" at most of the Eastern Fly Fishing shows. Dave Schmezer is known for his unique flies and different outlook on tying techniques and teaching. The "Bead Belly "concept, it's basic design, versatility and adaptability to various game fish species or baitfish imitations, the materials and tying tips are all outlined in detail in this fly. The well crafted fly will make it more durable and are in part responsible for the way the fly performs in the water.

Bead Belly flies need short shank hook with straight eye, beads that are counter-drilled as opposed to those that are counter-sunk, gel-spun thread, gel (extra thick) type cyanoacrylate glue. Deer Hair Extended Body Hopper, Some have called the Hoppers "Bullet-Proof". Here's a pattern that will give you an understanding of the unique techniques used to tie them and be excited enough to try. Scudly Doright seems to be a recurring theme, but it is different, it is new and unique! This is an adaptable pattern that looks good and is simpler to tie than it appears and simpler than many standard Scud patterns. Utilizing new materials and different tying techniques, enjoy and even expand on. This pattern has been used with very good success on many streams across the country.

ESSENTIAL and Good for More Than Just Presentations
Format: Kindle
This is the second time I purchased this book. I had an older edition and decided to purchase the update. I'm glad I did, as this expands and improves upon the first edition. The book is absolutely essential for anyone putting together a presentation. Not only does it provide sound theories behind persuasion and storytelling, it makes the process dead-simple with an easy-to-follow template. And this template works for more than just presentations. The structure works for pretty much any content you're creating whether that's a presentation or a blog post or a video. Can't recommend this highly enough.

Follow the template
Format: Paperback
Not much different from the 2005 ed, which was good Version 4, it is practically verbatim. The only major change I can see is the Story Template changed all of the terminology and dropped Act III all together leaving it pretty much up to the reader to figure out how to close the presentation. I prefer the V.1 template over this one. Slicker paper and color photos, and the story boarding is more developed. Following the template is key to pulling the presentation off. A good portion of the book is still geared toward a Corporate audience with the assumption that the reader is an upper-level manager with a team of employees to do your work for you. Know what you are getting into. The creation of an effective 15 minute presentation can take hours for a solopreneur. I use the 45 minute format to create 15/20 minute training videos. I will recommend this book to anyone who creates and delivers PPT presentations, can focus and stick to the plan.
