Fly Tying...the new hobby



I have taken up a new hobby....... Fly tying! It is incredibly fun and frustrating all at the same time, a challenge . There is always something to learn, always something to improve on.... and a chance to catch fish on something that I created. I am surprised how many different kinds of materials are used to create these flies. Birds, deer , elk, rodents, not to mention any kind of material found in the lint dryer. I think my next hobby is going to involve the old shotgun, that way I will never have to buy feathers again!!!




















This box of flies only took 50 hours 12 red bulls and 2 hissy fits :)

I can not believe this is your first tie! That's so buggie! I love the milky glossmer larva! Nice work, Bryan!
