I made a couple fly's once.  Talk about needing patience!  My dad loved to fly fish, I never could get the hang of it.  I was always partial to using lures.

heck i look at some of the stuff i tied up 20 years ago and say..who the hell tied that thing....oh it was me. like riding a bike,just take practice.  just amazes me sometimes some of the works of art people will put on a hook to catch a fish. i have found the simplest patterns work the best.

I am so glad we don't get pike here.. maybe we should start a fishing thread - recommended spots / lures / flies etc.

OldMech started one a while back - could hijack it..

I don't fish for flies. Fortunately I don't have many. A rolled up newspaper usually takes down flies. I don't think I have a regular fly swatter anymore.

most fly fishermen tie up our own flies of different types so it looks like we caught more than the other guy
