Brand new to tying and to the forum

Recommended Posts

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

Oops, I resized the pics from an iPhone. What's the best resolution to post pics at? Actually, what pixel x pixel count works best?

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!

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.

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

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.

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.
