I don’t know what it is, but there is something about catching a fish on a fly that you tied yourself. Even if it’s a classic pattern like a pheasant tail nymph or a BWO, the fact that you created it is a great feeling. Tying your own bugs is like a fly fishing side hobby which gives you something else to do that is fly fishing related when you can’t be out on the water. It may not be for everyone, but I suggest you give it a try and see if you like it. Who knows you might want to join the club! If you follow me on instagram, then it’s likely that you have seen some of the see pictures there, but here’s some shots from some recent tying sessions. Stay fly.
