Errock_22 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2017 Hi Guys, Brand new to the forum and been tying for a few months. I'm YouTube taught, but recently joined a club. Haven't been able to tie with them yet but figured I'd share my progression from this past March. Below is a progression from where I started, to my latest tie. Enjoy and happy to hear your critique! Best, E Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Errock_22 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2017 Thanks everyone! I have a very understanding wife, I get to tie for an hour or two just about every night. That definitely helps! Believe me, I've had my share of stinkers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryon Anderson 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2017 I've been tying for 20 years and most of the flies I fish with don't look as nice as the ones in those pics. Nice work! Very impressive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Cummings 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2017 Looks great. For me the Adams, Royal Wulff, Prince Nymph, and Wolley Buggers are the most productive. Hardest for me is the Prince because of wings and size #14 seems to be the most fish desired in NJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodj 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2017 Those look like Japanese artwork. What are those small critters? (pardon my ignorance, I'm barely familiar with the basic categories of flies) They are beautiful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Errock_22 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2017 Hmmmm....don't know how to add text to my post but I'll do my best. Most of the flies are Chironomid patterns, or midges, if you will. Both larvae and pupae. The ones are the wine cork are called Perdigon flies, used for Euro Nymphing. They sink very fast, used for pocket water. A few baitfish patterns, most for the salt. Sardine, anchovy, and a few randoms. The orange one is a Senorita fish (local baitfish) and the bottom fly is a Threadfin Shad. The crab pattern is a Pelagic Red Crab, also a local bait.
