Dude that fly looks sweet. Send me 5 dozen in multiple colors. Kidding.
Would suggest using a large hook maybe 5/0 or 6/0. Being a big fly guy, my only concern is that the fly will try to swim in circles and not keel well in teh water.
I doubt I’d ever tie this bigger than a 2/0 or 3/0. It does tighten up in the water and tracks nice
I bought a vise and supplies last Friday and I’ve been tying dozens of flies. It’s a whole other facet of fly fishing I’m glad I got into, I like coming up with my own patterns as well as attempting to duplicate established designs.
It is indeed. To me, tying a fly and then catching a fish on that fly is THE most gratifying experience in fly fishing. Make sure you do one thing; take pictures of your first flies. A year later you should compare them to what you’re tying then. Take pics of those and then a year after that compare. The personal growth is one of the most fun things to see. You’ll see where you got cleaner, more technical, and matured as a tyer.
I dropped some stickers off at WCCO for you.
Thanks for the stickers and the tip, Dave. I’ll definitely do that,
