welsh terrier 10 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi mate started to tie my own about 6 months back, i havnt got a lot of kit but i got some ideas off the net and also the trout masters mag. if you haven,t got the right materials try variants and make your own stuff up its worthwhile.

blackstairs boy 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 been tyin my own since i was 14. I never bothered with a whip finisher tool just do a few over hand knots and then a dab of nail varnish. I thought myself how to tie flies but the best thing is to get your arse down to your nearest gamefair this summer as there will be an expert there who will show you anything you want. my flies might not be the most elegent but they work and are durable.
