PeachySteph 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2015 Hello from Georgia! I grew up fishing as a little girl, and have always loved it. Only recently have I started getting into fly tying and fly fishing. I'm very excited, and hoping to make a little extra $$ with my flies (if I can manage to make suitable enough flies for selling) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to the forum, Steph. I've never seen a glossary. I'm kind of a beginner, too and I sometimes have to scratch my head. Then I google it and usually figure it out. steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlaFly 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2015 I've used this glossary before. It's not exhaustive but it's a good start. http://www.hooked-on-flies.com/glossary.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2015 Welcome to the site, Steph. I've seen your other posts before this one, and you do good work ... you'll fit in here nicely. This isn't like a lot of forums out there. You've got a bunch of anglers and fly tiers here. We use this site to talk to others of our kind. This is not a site of tweeters and texters who use abbreviations for every regular word of the English language. There are a few flies that have acronyms ... and a few materials that are "code named" ... but for the most part, there's no glossary needed here.

Fisherboy0301 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2015 Hey Tide, when you move down, will you be near N. Augusta? If so we should hook up some time and rip some lips! I'm only on the other side if Screven county from S. Carolina. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
