does anyone here tie flys?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I tie all kinds of stuff. My favorite thing to tie is flies that catch fish :D

One of my favorite things to tie though is classic full dress atlantic salmon flies. Also been experimenting alot with carp flies, so far so good.
 
As a boy I used to tie just about everything. I was hoping to start back in again this winter but I just don't have the time. I still make/tie walleye/pike jigs.
 
I tied flies semi-professionally for a while. My favorites were clousers, because I could crank out 5-6 dozen in a hurry. But for my own use, a size 10 bead head wooly buggy, olive. Catches anything that swims. Or maybe some other fly I invented (I think). it's palmered ostrich hearl with a very light collar of marabou, extending back past the bend. I hove other secret flies I've designed, their killer and really simple, but your gonna have to come with a decent trade for those (small bowfin?) ;)
