Is anybody interested in me posting a step by step for a streamer pattern than can be scaled up or down for predatory fish?
What's the protocol/preferred method for a pic heavy SBS? New thread in fly tying? or is there a SBS thread that already has a library of other patterns?
Your materials are probably too long and not tied in properly. If your flies are doing that you should try harder. Flies tied in this style are actually designed to hold their profile when stripped or swung in moving water. When dropped in a toilette they probably will not hold the desired look...
As you know I have switched over to STRICTLY natural light. I do have a pic from when I used unnatural, artificial light. I realize that not everybody has a small chicken on their desk.... But it does help if you can find one.
I need to be more disciplined. Especially when it comes to fly tying. In 2025 I vow to do the following.......
1. Only tie dry flies.
2. Only tie dry flies properly. Outdoors, in natural light, and only during the "Golden Hour".
3. Only fish with properly tied flies.
4. Only fish...
