This may be better suited for the Gear Talk thread. Please move as appropriate.

While there's nothing better than "hunkering down" with a good book on cold, wet, wintery days, the digital native in me loves instructional DVD's. I'd like your opinion on the best DVD's in the following categories (my recommendations are included, add categories as you see fit)...

Czech Nymphing - European Nymphing with Vladi and Jack

Spanish Nymphing - Same as above, although there has to be additional footage available...?

French Nymphing - Same as above, although there has to be additional footage available...?

"American" Nymphing - Casting Approach to Nymphing Tactics, by Joe Humphreys

Fishing Streamers -

Fishing Wets -

Dry Fly Fishing -

Casting Instruction - Fly Casting Faults and Fixes, by Mel Kreiger

Trout Habitat - Underwater World of Trout

And for those of you thinking about fall fishing while at work, here's a classic...

Wet Flies: Davy Wotton's "Wet Fly Ways" is a good primer on wet fly fishing... most importantly breaking the stigma that Wet Flies are just supposed to be lazily fished down and across.

Trout Habitat: "Bugs Of The Underworld" is an absolutely indispensable piece of knowledge looking into trout and the bugs they eat.

I second wet fly ways. That DVD is awsome. There is so much info in it that I watch it before I go out and fish wets and then have to watch it again when I get home to try and get the most from it. So much of it is differnt that what we normally do that it takes a while for that much info to soak in.

I third the Davy Wotton video, by far the most informative of all that I have scene. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Wvyou asked about a streamer fishing video. Kelly Galloup has a video entitled Streamer Fishing for Trophy Trout. It is in the same FlyFishTV series as Wotton's. Very informational, but Kelly was so wrapped up in instructing that I don't recall that he even landed one fish in the entire video - so take that for what it is worth $:-\$

I'll see if I can't pick up Davy's video.

It appears that Davy will be doing a show on this very topic via Askaboutflyfishing.com, scheduled for tomorrow!

Anyone know of good resources on Spanish or French nymphing, outside of Jack's DVD?
