Hello all,

We have not had anyone post flies. The past 3 years i have really got into fly fishing salt water. I have also been tying my own flies now for some time. Attached below are some i have tied recently, not my designs but never the less. I would like to see some posts out there of what you have been tying. Lets see them.

Hey Gotta-

Those flies look pretty good. I just started tying & my efforts have been fairly disasterous. Do you have any suggestions for a good source of clear tying info? What are the most important tools to have? I have a vise & some materials - that's it.

Thanks for your help-

Steve

Steve,

A good place to start is with the Tying Flies for Salt Water CD-Rom by Dick Stewart & Farrow Allen. It is a great purchase it gives you step by step Video feeds, Step by step snapshots as well as a full library of Flies and bait fish. That would be a great start. Also where do you fish? my first year casting i mostly casted a clouser or a bigger version of a trout wooly bugger in white and black. I was surprised by the amount i caught with those two flies. They are fairly easy to make and very productive. As for fly tying tools and materials it is endless collection. Every week there is a new syntectic fiber or a new something else. What are you looking to tie? I will try to help out is much as i can, i have been tying for a couple of years now and been to several classes. So if you want more details shoot me an email and i will give you as much help as i can. I am also interested in starting a club and web site. Drop ame a line.

You don't WANT to see my flies - unless you're looking for something to put in the "what not to do" file.

I'll just keep trying.
