Fly Tying
fly time

Kids swap

Recommended Posts

Addie's flies ("streamer flies," in her words) are her version of Clouser Minnows she's seen me tie. She tied fast, and they went to the Post Office Monday morning. She tied a special thank-you fly for you, Dustin.

Steve has taken the boys for a day and a half outing. So I'll sit down and tie mine tomorrow hopefully. I'll have to look at what he's tied in the past and see if I can't come up with something cool and fairly easy since he won't be sitting there helping me.

Six complete, one rejected... a wide variety of things that I have seen and are imitating with the materials I have. Hope to put some pictures on tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for taking care of us.

Looks like all of you are doing well, and some of you are already finished :headbang: :yahoo: Im excited to see what all comes out of this swap.

 

 

Addie, Thanks for the extra, its greatly appreciated!! ;)

 

 

Megan P. A wooly bugger is a pretty simple pattern to tie, and there are some great step by step tutorials on the site to help out.

 

 

Thanks again to all of the participants in this swap!!!

Dustin, Dustin, Dustin - see what happens when you allow old people to intrude upon a kids time... WE (I) need so much extra guidance - ... DOH...

 

Oh well, I thought when you said any type, any size, I had to make a bunch of different ones. I was searching for a lot of different patterns... I can make a do-over if you prefer.

 

The practice won't kill me for sure.

Connor and Grant have finished their flies but I've been too busy to take a look at them for completeness. I'll make time this weekend and get them in the mail ASAP.

 

BTW - For those looking for good tutorial sites, Charlie Craven has excellent step by step tutorials on all flies he publishes. (www.charliesflybox.com).
