    I started tying in 1966. I was 9 years old and went to a Trout Unlimited course at a high school. I used these skills all my life up until a few years ago when I developed central tremors. Now days I just buy my flies. I would tell anyone considering a hobby or activity for a young person that this art is very rewarding. Catching your first fish on a fly that you crafted with your own hands is a life long memory. This art can be very lucrative as well.

      I still tie whenever I can however these days it’s harder because I no longer have places I can get to for fishing. I taught myself how to when at 20 I was hit by a car walking home from work from behind the driver too busy yelling at her kids to be paying attention to where she was going. I was in the hospital 3 days and out of work 3 and a half months I had to have something to do so I learned to tie my own flies . Been doing it ever since. As a foot note does anyone know of good places to fish walking distance around the bolivar Missouri area. Because I don’t have the luxury of driving 1 never learned and these days it wouldn’t do any good because I couldn’t afford it things have become so expensive. The working poverty class like me can only afford to keep rent and utilities paid with only food money left and nothing saved. No I’m not asking for financial help I will manage as I always have. Just asking for places that I can fish that I can walk to.

      I learned it on my own. My parents got me a tying kit when I was in middle school. I caught a lot of panfish and a few bass on random concoctions I came up with. Surprising to me I made one that looked like a bee that caught the most bass.

My gut feeling is they may be very successful on reservoirs as the patterns are very similar to some deadly flies on there. A big thank you.

    In NZ I learned of the "nail polish fly" from a guide. Very simple-- wrap plastic around a large barbless hook and paint with bright pink nail polish.Streamlined and sinks fast. I hooked and lost a massive brown using it in a deep pool. Also good for deep runs where you want to get down deep fast w/o weights or even a bead head. He said some guides frowned on it.

    so when i was a kid, i was going fishing and used most of this flies... no fish whatsoever ... but i did get a lot of wood flies trying to mate with my fishing rod while i was trowing rocks in the water...

    Do you not counterwrap your wire on tinsel? I found without counter wrapping, if a small bit comes undone the whole thing does.

    • @MainelyFlies
      @MainelyFlies  ปีที่แล้ว

      Generally, I would. If I didn’t, it was definitely a mistake. Sucks when the tinsel pops

    I was scoffed by a fisherman after I caught a trout on a royal coachman dry fly. Some people are purists and prefer only fishing with patterns that mimic known scientific names. :P The first fly looked like a classic though. :)

    The fact that anyone thinks any of these should be banned is just another example of people being mad because they've bad at something. Or even just because someone was better than them. Without those fancy lures that person wouldn't be so good at fishing. That must be it!
    Unsportsmanlike conduct at it's finest.

    This is very new to me. For the designs, are they trying to mimic the fish's food? or just trial and error? Very interesting because I never thought that fish are very visual animals, before I thought they have to smell the bait before trying them.

      That's exactly right, most fly fishing is for trout and salmon types of fish that tend to feed on insects off the top or the water

    Love fishing but never took the time for fly fishing. I am actually surprised that there are "banned" flies because they work too good. I would have never thought that was even a thing.

    • @shainemaine1268
      @shainemaine1268 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The thing is, there are fish you'd never get to even look at anything else... trophy browns that will only eat larva the size of an eyelash (during the time you happen to be fishing there). Drag something like a roostertail or rapala through, they'll swim directly away immediately and likely stop feeding for the rest of the day.

    The salmon egg,or steelhead eggs I tied 45 years ago were all yarn,I would blend light pink and orange,with a single strand of white,some would get a light white streamer,some with two single strand of red,like a blood strand,take the main yarn and pull it up and cut it half round to form an egg,trim it round,take the skane strand and trim it about an inch,I made thousands of these,sold them all over northern Cal to Oregon,I paid people to tie them,a lot of work,but a fish killer!

    In having a hard time conceptualizing how a custom hand made and unique fly can be banned for being "too good". Isnt making good flies part of the deal? Isnt that the point? What are there only a select list of legal flies? Seems like a strange format to me.
