In any action there is a learning curve. You must walk before you run you must hop before you can jump. In my fly fishing adventures I have learned alot of knowledge in a short period of time. It has come time to learn how to tie my own flys. Killing the small fish and brim is killing my wallet. Im buying nymphs and leaders faster then I can fish with them. I also was constantly frustrated when I would learn of an amazing fly that you cant buy. For 50 dollars and a little effort I am tying my own flys. It realy isnt is hard as you would think and it feels very rewarding. However, newbies be ware this hobbie has a funny story about a fly fisherman who's brother had gone into rehab. While there he decided to take up tying flys he later learned that it was just slightly more expensive then his outragous cocain habbit.
This is the A-train, a pattern that I created it does work but I have found other patterns that work better.
These were the three first flys I ever tied. Not bad I think.
And they work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a fly from day two, Its a wooly bugger with a hackle body.
This is a replica of the doculator pattern with a hackle coller. I thought it looked buggy and sure enough it killed the fish.
Here are some more from day two believe it or not the three legged white ugly bug killed it has been the most perductive so far.
These are my local fishin holes. They produce but rarly large fish. You can go at dusk and kill them though. I normally catch between 15-40 fish the hour before dusk.
