I've tied some in 12.

My Dad. We were staying on vacation in North Carolina and he was teaching me so we could try and get some browns in a river. I was about 8 or 9 though I am still a kid so this was probably 5 years ago. Right by the river there was this very small pond but it was loaded with panfish. We had some san juan worms and I probably caught 30 panfish. It was the perfect spot to learn.

I really like this!

It can have thread and could be a soft hackle but try to make it as complex as possible with as little materials as possible.

Tie a fly with one feather, or one of whatever unit the material is in. If you want to, try to catch a fish on it. Be resourceful, for example you could use the softer part on the bottom of a hackle feather and dub it.

While were at it why don't we argue over the egg sucking leech! edit: double post please delete

Come to think of it the wooly bugger has never gotten so much as a strike for me but i dont fish them much

Here's my first attempt at a damselfly

looks a bit like moose

I'm gonna get my first rotary vise soon and am looking at the Renzetti Traveler 200. Would this be a good choice and if so should I get the clamp or pedestal base? If not what are some other suggestions? Heres the vise: https://www.reelflyrod.com/renzetti-traveler-2000-series-vise.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwlID8BRAFEiwAnUoK1T5tbdU9kEihZr0irKHqWMi9TBfMTPyI4Wy8jkFRsiHN_LC_Rx6HxhoCEhcQAvD_BwE

I actually love carp and am going to try for some tommorow.

These are my first woven patterns. The first is a caddisfly and the 2nd is a caddis larva. Any ideas for where I could go with these?

Im in. Trout and panfish.
