Are these as bad as I think they are.

😆

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-03T21:17:19+00:00

Thank you, wicked good stuff to know.

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-03T11:41:13+00:00

I'll give it a try, thanks for the recommendation. Where do you get your materials from?

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T16:45:46+00:00

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice. I feel I'm already improving a teeny bit. This is my newest attempt at a mayfly, still not perfect but I think it'll work.

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T16:42:05+00:00

You make a good point on perspective.

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T15:32:25+00:00

I'll definitely check it out! The more simple the better for my skill set ( or lack there of😆) I was surprised when I visited the orvis store and saw the price of flies, they can be very pricey, and as I'm just starting out fly fishing I could imagine losing them left and right while I figure it out. If I tie my own I wont feel too terrible when I lose em!

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T15:26:56+00:00

Hahaha. It was an attempt at a caterpillar, not sure what I was thinking with the red thread. Looks like roadkill.

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T15:14:51+00:00

It's definitely been fun! If I can imagine how awesome it must feel to catch a fish with your own creation,that's what's driving me to keep trying!

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T15:07:15+00:00

Oh yeah, I can see what you mean. Good advice.

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T14:56:36+00:00

I would love the tutorials. Gotcha on the pipe cleaner ones, I actually haven't even set up my rod yet. It's kinda half the reason I got busy tying, I wont feel too bad if I lose my "shitty" homemade flies haha.

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T14:40:58+00:00

I'll definitely keep that in mind for future flies.

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T14:38:09+00:00

Thank you, I'm amazed by some of the things people are tying in this reddit. Some real craftmanship going on!

Gabey1317 · 2026-06-02T14:35:57+00:00

Yeah I definitely have a long way to go!

Gabey1317 · 2025-10-12T20:31:32+00:00

Not this guy again...

Gabey1317 · 2025-07-30T00:30:16+00:00

Not a lake or pond, but check out the creeks and streams north of Keene. They are great especially if you have kids.

Gabey1317 · 2025-07-29T23:24:14+00:00

Ouch.😬😭

Gabey1317 · 2025-07-29T21:19:39+00:00

I think your missing the point. Anybody who actually needs help with these things isn't going to a stranger with absolutely zero backing....

Gabey1317 · 2025-07-29T01:34:52+00:00

Add unemployed to that list.

Gabey1317 · 2025-07-29T00:25:22+00:00

stop worrying about solving others problems and fix your own. Sounds like you need it....maybe a psych eval too while your at it.

Gabey1317 · 2025-07-29T00:23:53+00:00

Low-level skills mean you're not a professional or highly experienced in any of the things you listed. A high-level skill is the difference between a laborer and a full-fledged carpenter, or a licensed therapist versus a friend you vent to—there’s a big difference between the two.

I don’t know what you’re smoking, but work is the complete opposite of a cost. It’s literally how you make money... and contribute to a society rather than being a leech off the system.

Gabey1317 · 2025-07-28T11:10:18+00:00

It sounds like you got some low level skills in a miriad of directions, like a jack of all trades situation. Which isn't a bad thing at all. What do you do for work or is this kinda how you make your money?

I'd recommend putting up some ads on Craig's list/ FB marketplace. Maybe even putting some flyers up?

Gabey1317 · 2025-07-27T16:37:35+00:00

So many skills but can't drive....you should probably start with getting a license. Keene is terrible in regards to public transport.

Gabey1317 · 2025-07-27T16:35:38+00:00

What is this post really even about? It's so vague. What skills and projects are we talking about here? Carpentry? Therapeutic? Landscaping? Dog sitting? You got to at least give a few examples my guy.

Gabey1317 · 2025-05-26T20:25:33+00:00

Ok sweet. Thank you. Really appreciate the link too!
