Recent Changes

If you haven’t checked lately, I’ve added a few fly patterns. Not a tyer? That’s OK. Check out a pattern sheet or two. Not only will you find pictures of the fly pattern, I’m trying to include pictures of the real bugs the flies imitate. Use the fly pattern pictures when shopping at your local fly shop.

If you are a tyer, I’ve tried to add tying directions for the early fly patterns I posted. Feel free to ask questions, as I’d be happy to help.

Here are a few new fly patterns to check out:

If you’ve been a regular blog reader, you can tell I enjoy taking pictures.
