As I was working on a fly pattern for this blog, I came to realize that although there are plenty of you out there that know and understand all of the instructions for my past fly recipes, there are also a lot of beginner fly tyers who don’t understand how to even tie in the thread to begin any fly.
With this in mind, I am going to begin a series specifically for the beginning fly tyer.
In this series, I plan on going through all of the basics of fly tying. I will be teaching the terminology and showing the technique as well as going over some of the basic materials used in fly tying.
Some of the first flys I tied when I was a kid.
Being a mostly self-taught fly tyer myself, I am excited to share my love of fly tying with a new group of people. If you have any ideas of beginner techniques that you would like me to write about feel free to leave a comment, send me an email, text, call, or just stop into the shop for a chat.
