Should You Learn How To Tie Flies For Fly Fishing?
Concerning fly fishing, it is naturally all about the flies, and tying flies can be a tricky, tedious thing to do if you choose to try it. In regards to tying, it is important that you have a still hand and a fairly good idea what the trout will be attracted to, so they will bite more often. Naturally, you will need to research these things and trial and error would also have to be used. However, if you know what the main diet of a trout, then you will have a great idea of what you will need when figuring out how to tie flies to catch a fair amount of trout.
Learning how to tie flies is generally thought of as the definitive test when it comes to fly fishing. Sure, you could go out and buy a good spinner or spoon to add to your collection. This would of course cost a bit of money. Then again, you could also take the extra step and tie your own flies. Contrary to what you may think, it does not take that long to learn how to tie flies and attract trout effectively. The important and obvious thing to remember is, if the fly does not look right, chances are the trout will not bite. This is why knowing how to tie flies is pertinent – the process cannot be rushed and no corners can be cut.
No one has claimed that tying flies is the easiest thing in the world. But, it is not as hard as most people claim it to be. A lot of people are even scared to begin learning how to tie flies, because some people they know may take hours to complete one fly. This turns a lot of people off, so they simply rely on the pros to sell their flies to them, or go to their local sporting goods store and take their chances on the quality of flies sold there. The expenses incurred here – whether you purchase from a pro or a sporting goods shop – are actually unnecessary. Once you learn how to tie flies easily, quickly, and effectively, you will undoubtedly save a lot of money.
Your only upfront expense will be in purchasing the necessary tooling for tying flies. Once you get the hang of it, which will not take long, you will then have the ability to tie a lot of flies in a relatively short period of time, and save a whole lot of money in the process. Sure, if you have no guidance or don't have someone teaching you how to tie flies, then the task will be tedious and frustrating. However, if this is something you truly would like to do, then with the proper guidance and practice, you could master the art of how to tie flies faster than you may think it is possible.
About the Author
My name is Emmett Gregg, and I am a professional fly fishing instructor, and author of The Complete Illustrated Guide: How To Tie Flies.
I come from a family of fly fishermen(my grandfather, my father etc.), and my grandfather was a master of the art of tying flies. Naturally, his secret techniques on how to tie flies were passed down to my father, and then to me.
His secrets were never revealed until now, since I have published The Complete Illustrated Guide: How To Tie Flies. This is a thorough, step-by-step guide – with some of my grandfather's illustrations and photos – that guarantees that you will learn how to tie flies faster, better, and effectively.

Trout (Paperback) $30.79 Leaping effortlessly from bright streams into the human imagination, the trout has an ancient fascination that can be traced back to Stone Age cave dwellers, and it thrives today in our diet, religion, folklore, history, science, literature, and, of course, fishermen’s tales. James Owen reveals here why the trout beguiles us so. Taking myriad forms, the fish has a vitality and physical beauty that brings to mind pure waters and quiet, outdoor spaces. This biography of the trout showcases the animal as sacred fish, edible fish, farmed fish, and a fish of scientific investigation. In telling this story, Owen follows the trout around the world: starting in Europe and North America, he then follows the voyage that took the creature from England to Australia in the nineteenth century. Along the way, he presents a diverse cast of characters, from obscure British saints and fly-fishing nuns to visionary inventors, jazz singers, and counterculture novelists—all united by this magical animal. Trout will delight and surprise anglers who have ever cast a fly and anyone who has caught a glimpse of its stunning camouflage. |
