any fly-tyers? lure-makers too, I suppose....
with any luck we can get a permanent fly tying thread to share designs, tips, casts, etc.
that is, if we have enough people.

get it? fly tying thread
ahhhhhhhh hahaha HA HA HA!
oh, I'm so funny...
 
Been tying flies since I was 10 years old!

About to start making some plugs. My father is starting to get into it. I know ALOT of guys that do make customs and I actually have quite the collection of original plugs like Danny's and Pinchneys etc. etc.
 
e-high-five! I too have been into flies pretty seriously ever since I got back from africa the first time (about 8-ish, 9-ish, or 10-ish, I really cna't pin it down, but in that range)
 
my latest project, after my year of fascination with bass flies, is tying as many possible variations on the wooly bugger as I can think of. Since 1/1/07, i've tied for at least an hour every day, and i'm up to 314 variations. Average of 4.8 designs per day.

Now that is an achievement!!!! Any pics of those beauties?
 
I do some really basic stuff. I usually tie alot of stones, egg patterns, and also a few hex patterns. But thats really the extent of my fly tying knowledge. But those are also the only patterns that regularily catch chrome in the great lakes region. And if your not catching chrome your not fishing.
 
if you've seen any of the other times when people request pics from me, you know I'm horrible at taking them/getting them online. but I will try. I have already sent half of my buggers away to fishermen in anticipation of when they can test them out for me, but I will try to get some pics. heck, if you see one you really like, I can send it to you.
