Tying the Catalpa Worm Fly with Michael Verduin 

Michael Verduin demonstrates tying his Catalpa Worm Fly, a copy of a caterpillar that inhabits Catalpa Trees in the South.
Back in 2003 - 21 years ago - I had the opportunity to watch and record a master fly tier demonstrating one of his original flies - the Catalpa Worm Fly. Michael Verduin was a master at fly tying with a love of warm water flies. His flies had a bit of realism but were able to be tied by anyone with decent skills. Unfortunately he passed away about 6 months after filming this. This particular video was put on a DVD with a limited distribution but now I feel that it should be shared with everyone who knew Michael or appreciates the skills he had. I hope you enjoy this oldie.
I apologize for the audio. This was one of the very first videos I recorded and the audio is not great. But you can hear and understand him despite the background noise.
