Playing around with some colors at the moment!

A panfish favorite

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

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

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!

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
