Fly Fishhook Tool

There are many reasons a person will find their way to the subject of fly tying. There are probably more reasons than there are different types of flies.

Some individuals are trying to save money. Others aren't satisfied with the pattern or the presentation offered by commercial flies, they don't seem to work well. Flies match the natural meals of insects local to the specific area.

There are all kinds of specialized equipment and materials one can buy, as well as courses and books offered by experts for learning to tie flies. Like most things though, it can also be done alone using simple and less expensive tools.

Fly Tying Gear Needed:

• vice
• scissors
• needle-nosed pliers
• sharp needle or pin
• fish hooks
• line
• fly material (synthetic or natural)

The hooks, line, and material are purchased based on the size and temperament of the species being fished, as well as which insects are natural to the fishing area. The type of fly being made makes a difference too.

Always keep in mind that although following rules and logic can produce wonderful results, experimentation and going against what others say can do the same also.

Places that sell just regular fishing tackle might provide what's needed, but for hooks and materials the best places to look are at the local fly tackle shop or online.

Once all equipment and materials are acquired, it's time to actually start thinking about making the fly. Again, things get can fairly complex, but these are the basics.

1. The first step in the process is to secure the fish hook in the vice. Only cover the bend in the hook so the hook's shaft is exposed. This is where the material goes.
2. Now secure the line to the hook. Wrap the line backward over itself, starting at the bottom of the hook's eye. Then the rest of the shaft can be wrapped until the line is back at the bottom of hook's eye. This secures the line to the hook and provides a base to start adding material to.
3. After the line base is added to the hook, it's time to make it look like a fly. Add tail material and wrap again until secure. Then wrap a third of the hook's shaft, closest to the hook's eye until there's the shape of a slender insect body.
4. Also add the material to simulate the wings and/or legs and ensure it's firmly attached as well.
5. Now that it looks like a proper fly, tie the line off and remove any excess that might be hanging.

Now it's simply a matter of attaching the fly to the line of the fly rod and see what happens. Over time it will become more apparent what works and what doesn't. A firm knowledge base will be gained that will help the avid fly fisherman move on to more advanced techniques.

Whatever the reason, anyone can get into fly tying. If a person is serious about fly fishing, their skill level is irrelevant. Eventually that person will want to tie their own flies.
