I know a lot about flies and how to fish them. There are many kinds of flies. A few years ago, I started tying my own flies. I tie nymphs, streamers,dry flies, wet flies, and bass bugs. I have decided to make my flies available to the public. I do not have a wet fly package available, but I can do custom wet flies. My goal is to provide you with high quality flies that are more durable and effective than commercially tied flies. I take care to prevent loops of excess thread and other problems that are common in commercially tied flies. One important thing about all of my flies is that they are lead free. I use other types of weight to get my flies down. Lead can be harmful to both fish and people. Fly Fishing Fly fishing is not like other fishing. You cast differently because the weight is in the line, not the lure. More importantly, fly fishing is an art. Fishing With My Flies I tie most kinds of flies and I will give an overview of how to fish the different types of flies. Dry Flies: A dry fly is any fly that floats on the water's surface. Dry flies imitate insects that have either just hatched or have laid their eggs and died. When fish take a dry fly, they come up to the surface of the water and suck the fly into their mouth. It is easy to see a fish take a dry fly. Cast your fly near a feeding fish and let your fly sit. Wet Flies: A wet fly is a fly that imitates a dead insect that has sunk below the surface of the water. These are best for fishing rivers, because they drift by feeding fish. Nymphs: A nymph is any fly that imitates an immature insect. In rivers, cast upstream of the fish and let your fly float downstream to the fish. In lakes, pull your fly slowly through the water, pausing every few seconds. Streamers: A streamer is a fly that imitates a baitfish. Do what you can to make it look lifelike. Deer Hair Bugs: A deer hair bug is a floating fly with a deer hair body that creates a wake when it is pulled through the water. Try the twitch and pause retrieve. |
