Got bored last night, so I tried to tie a fly or too. It’s a lot Harder to do than what you see on the internet!! Can’t wait to catch a red on a homemade fly.

I bought an orvis encounter 5wt two years ago and finally got it on the water. I got it to learn and catch bluegills, sacolait, and small bass. I grabbed a couple of bream killers and am toying around with this. I’ve had a couple of bites just screwing around and found my tempo. I absolutely love fishing in this manner.

My question is, with the target fish listed earlier, are there any flies recommended for starting out?

not bad looking.

It takes practice. Lots of practice.

One thing that I've found is that beginners almost always use thread that is too big.

And once you learn how to tie deer hair poppers, you have a hard time tying much else. They're fun to do.
