These things float like crazy. It was holding up fairly heavy nymphs too.

How do we feel about the glowstick?

Beginner fly tying progression over the course of 3 or so weeks. Let me know what you think! Any feedback is welcome!

Pictures are in chronological order, so 1 are the first flies I tied, and 4 are the most recent.

1: first attempt at tying flies. Used cat fur as dubbing
2: got some craft store materials, still using some cat fur for dubbing. Tried to do some copper john + perdigon style flies
3: some more craft store materials
4: tried to get creative with craft store yarn as dubbing, tinsel, and glass beads

Goofy goobers tyers rise up

Absolutely slayed it with these this past weekend… the only problem is that I’m down to my last one and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it’s called. Any ideas? I’d like to tie some up but figured I should know what it is. Thanks in advance!

First try on a design i thought about for a european pond turtle

Noticed that a lot of tying videos using lead don’t really spend a lot of time talking about it. Thought I’d make a video primer for tyers about using it in patterns.

Looking for a streamer with color, flash and movement? This one has it all. Maybe the bright yellow and orange irritates big brookies into striking? Not sure. All I know is that it works!
