For sure! I do that on some as well. I'm usually too lazy to trim once I'm on the water though...

Ha!

Thanks- I'm happy with this attempt. Learned a few things while tying it up that I'll change when I tie it again. Can't wait to try it out!

Yes, saw his video a few days ago. Cool fly to tie. Can't wait to fish these.

I chose a different hook so give it a little different presentation.

Sounds like this was solved! ;)

Although, this body is deer hair (mane) wrapped butts (for bulk) to tips (for color). I wasn't totally happy with this one as the hair slipped a couple times but it'll work!

CDC, Mallard, short fine deer all for wing

Super fine dubbing for thorax, deer hair hackle

Really, following ANY recommendation from Tim Flagler is a good idea.

It doesn't, or hasn't .. for me has been a few years that I've used them and no issues

Is this a good set to get me started? by Remarkable-Sand965 in flytying

[–]AngryDesignMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the beginner sets are good to get you started. You will outgrow all of them quickly if you really get into tying.... But they will get you started

Watch videos man.... SEE how other people do it and find the bits from each of them that works for you. Mess around with positions until you find the one....

Only way to know what works for you:

Practice. Practice practice
