Simply put, fly tying patterns are techniques for building flies.
If you want to try your hand at making your own flies you will need to
know a few basics. Different flies are used depending on the species
of fish you want to catch. Once you determine what fish you want to
attract you need to know what flies they are attracted to. There are
wet fly and dry fly tying patterns.
Fly tying patterns can be as simple or complex as you want to make
them. We have seen flies that are made of several types of hair and
hurls. Replicating a particular fly is a lot of fun. With a few simple
tools you can create your own custom fly.
When you first start you will want to take a few lessons from a
pro. Many fishing shops will have classes on learning how to tie
flies. You can also find videos and books that teach the art of fly
tying patterns. Get ready to become addicted to tying your own flies!
