I need a fly design!
Fly Tying Oct 19, 2017 | 15:51 pmMy father wants me to tie a fly called the 'red kite', which apparently uses the central tail feather of the red kite. I'm not too sure if it exists but if you know of any flys that use a red kite feather it would be great! submitted by /u/nathan_byrne321 [link] [comments]
Read more...Recommended Vice and Materials for a Beginner?
Fly Tying Oct 19, 2017 | 15:50 pmWhat vice would you recommend for a novice at a reasonable price? Additionally what materials would you recommend purchasing to cover a wide range of patterns? I'm just getting back into fly tying. I have a bunch of really nice materials that I inherited from my grandfather, however his old vice doesn't appear to function properly. I'm looking for a cheaper vice that will do a good job of holding the hook steady but won't break the bank. I'm also wondering what materials you would recommend purchasing? I have a bunch of different wing and hackle materials as well as a few different thread colours, but would like to begin tying different nymph and streamer patterns as those are generally what I have success fishing with. submitted by /u/BritishColumbiEnt [link] [comments]

submitted by /u/sienalock [link] [comments] So, I reached way back to the start of my tying days for this one. I tie a ton of articulated streamers these days, but I figured I'd put out a simple nymph video this week. I still watch a ton of videos that I've been tying for years. It's amazing how many little techniques you can gain from others

Fly Tying Oct 2, 2017 | 02:40 amOctober’s FOM are relatively simple patterns. The ant is an effective pattern for trout everywhere. The Clouser Minnow is an effective for fish everywhere in the world; yes, everywhere. Ant Dry Fly While doing my research for this FOM, I learned they are an even more important food source for trout than expected. Locally (in western Canada), ants start appearing as a dominant food source in mid August, and continue to be on the menu until end of October in both rivers and stillwater. I live someplace where it freezes for 6 months a year. In most places that do not become a deep freeze, ants can be effective from mid-spring to late fall. Where you live will affect how ants hatch, but one thing seems consistent---ants are mid summer to early fall staples for trout virtually everywhere. Stocking your fly boxes with a few ant dries is a good strategy. While it is hard to go wrong with a black or red ant pattern, there are over 10000 different species. Thankfully, here in Alberta, Canada, there are just 13 dominant species., but they vary from a large sz12 down to a tiny sz20. Davie McPhail ties a large ant[…]
