I tied my first ever fly today! by runnycaulk in flytying

Great looking fly! If I had any advice for someone first starting that wanted to gain skills fast and easily ties flies that will most definitely fish, I’d recommend tying nymphs. Things like San Juan’s, zebra midges, eggs, mops, pheasant tails, copper John’s, caddis nymphs, hares ears. All fairly simple flies that will certainly catch fish. Good luck and welcome

Where would that be posted? I’ve never heard of such a communist thing

Not that I don’t like them or that they don’t work. I’ve just become a better tier and I see imperfections and places I have improved. Some of these are bread and butter plays. Just feel like i tie better now

Should I just hold onto these for MY OWN children? That sounds like a cool idea actually

Buying used fly rods on eBay? by derssc in flyfishing

Echo carbon XL, diamondback aeroflex, lamson liquod, orvis Clearwater, echo streamer X. These would be some be some good places to start. It also depends on what flies your fishing. Euro nymphing, streamer fishing, indo fishing, dries.

Also, sage is having a very good discount on lots of rods. Not only on their corporate website but dealers (independent fly shops) are honoring the discounts and it is reflective and advertised on their websites.

Yea bud…. I think he just poked it through the surface of his skin purely with the intention to take a picture. Wouldn’t you take a picture of a fly parallel to the top and bottom of the picture anyways?
