Flies

Everything that is outdoors and not hunting or shooting. Talk about fishing, 4wd, archery, camping, motorbike riding etc etc.

Flies

Post by Brad Y »

Not sure if many are into it but here are some photos of flies that Im tying at the moment. Ive just started into the semi commercial tying game (all done from the kitchen table). Target species are mostly estuary fish like bream, whiting, flathead etc. Also do my own stuff for trout (not very often though) and tropical saltwater.

Lovely work there Brad. Tied my own trout flies as a teenager in Ireland but wouldn't have been close to that standard

Thanks fellas. Took a couple of years to get where I am now with the level of neatness. Of course some days I couldn't tie my own shoe laces still... All good fun and flyfishing is definitely another level of challenge when fishing.

I am so relieve that this is about fishing flies.

When I saw the topic I was worried that it might be about the flies that hide Camel's cods...
