Time to restock the fly box…

[canny]

I don’t fly fish nearly as much as I would like, but I love sitting down at the vise and turning out some flies. I know there are others on here that enjoy it as well, so feel free to contribute!

So far I’ve been working mostly on nymphs, midges, and Perdigons as droppers. Once I finish these things I’ll transition over to some more dries, mostly hoppers and stimulators.

Nice work! I haven't tied flies in decades, used to do all my own way back when, also did quite a bit of fly fishing with my younger brother, haven't done that in ages as well. Great times and great memories.

Those look great. What are you sealing backs and beads with? I used to tie a lot of when I lived in the mountains and got to fish all the time.

Great work!!! Been about 15 years since I’ve sat down at a vice, but mine didn’t look that good[emoji4]

UV Glue for sealing the backs/beads

My kid ties some. Mostly saltwater streamers and an occasional crappie jig. He's been chasing reds in the flats of Florida after class with his

Hes got a 15' gheeno skiff over there and a frat brother has a carolina skiff they can venture into a little more open water. The gheeno is coming back with him for the summer for some trailer work and maybe paint. Im sure he will drag it down to the coast a time or two while hes here.

WOW! I tried years ago and no matter what I did all my flies looked the same.

What do you do to get them so smooth looking. They look like they were dipped in epoxy.

It’s just UV glue, apply it thin and hit with UV light to cure.

Those look great. UV glue is really handy to use.

If there are enough fly tiers on TBH, you should start a fly swap

Looks good. Just picked up some hackle to make some clouse minnows.
