Art, Skill and Fun Combine to Create Fly Fishing Flies
In order to make your own fly fishing flies you will need to know the rudiments of the anatomy of a fly. You will also need some basic tools including fine tip scissors, thread, a bobbin to hold the thread, needle-nose pliers and a vise to hold the hook. These tools are all readily available at fly fishing stores. Another particularly useful device is a small weighted base unit that attaches to a tabletop or any flat, smooth surface by means of suction. There are typically three articulated 'arms' attached to it - two are equipped with alligator clips for holding small items, and the third has an adjustable magnifying glass on it to allow for detailed viewing when working on small objects. If your sporting goods store doesn't carry something like this, your local hobby shop most certainly will.
Fly tying patterns are techniques for building flies. If you want to try your hand at making your own flies you will need to know a few basics. Different flies are used depending on the species of fish you want to catch. Once you determine what fish you want to attract you need to know what flies they are attracted to. There are wet fly and dry fly tying patterns
Fly tying patterns can be as simple or complex as you want to make them. We have seen flies that are made of several types of hair and hurls. Replicating a particular fly is a lot of fun. Elegance is usually in the simplicity of the pattern and the skill of the knot tying.
When you first start you might want to take a few lessons from a pro. Many fishing shops will have classes on learning how to tie flies. You can also find videos and books that teach the art of fly tying patterns. Get ready to become addicted to tying your own flies!
There are lots of fly fishing knots that you can learn for different situations, we will cover a few of them here.
The first fly fishing knot you should learn is the Arbour knot which is used to connect the backing to the fishing reel. Then there is the nail knot, so called because you use a nail in the tying process, which is used to connect the backing to the fly line and the leader to the fly line. Two of the knots that can be used to tie the tippet to the leader are the blood knot or the double surgeon knot. For tying the fly to the hook the new improved clinch knot works well.
For all fly fishing knots, retie the knots before pulling them tight. This will reduce the amount of friction as well as lubricating the surface of the line. Whether the fish you catch are large and small, always retie your knots after reeling the fish in. After all, you don't want to lose that next big one.
