Made cheaper and works just as good.

Mark it up to what you want. I just learned do not use a paint pen on the material. It just globs it up. I don’t think the fish will care but I do.

Brush as you go along so you make it fluffy.

Now tie the shank on using mono or wire then fill in the body wrap.

Start your bottom shank with the two feathers then add the body wrap. Attach the middle shank. Tie down the end and glue. Tie in your body wrap.

What you need two feathers. I use an eagle claw octopus hook 6/0. Eyes and body wrap. The articulated shanks are made from .036” spinner wire.

I’ve been there done that. But sometimes those people who come up with the recipe can’t make the equipment they use and have to use what others come up with. I like to do it all.

Pretty neat pic. I guess the fly looks alright haha.

Looking good.

When I use a net I liked the one that had the stretchy cords on it and then go buy yourself those metal clips. You can clip it to yourself or any pack you want.

I have a chest pack and then snaps onto a smaller backpack. The flies go into the chest pack and everything else went into the backpack. Work great for just my trout fishing but now everything is to small for the fishing I do now. So I upgraded to a sling backpack and a regular backpack. I carry...

Hear ya on a heavier rod. As for the Fly being expensive, the way I do it it’s not. Feathers at the craft store. Articulated shanks are made from spinner wire. Eyes cheap from eBay. The body wrap I wait for good sales then buy a couple. Any waterproof marker. Any fly I make I try to find the...

I do believe there are some brands to avoid but some make good hooks and they make bad hooks like TMC hooks. I’ve bought the thin hooks not knowing one time and the fish bent the hooks and even me grabbing them with forceps I would just snap them. So when recommending I would say buy the 2x...

I use a lot of eagle claw hooks myself. Yes they do rust if you do not dry your flies out. I always hate buying hooks cause I’m getting picky at what kinds I want. There’s thick, thin, long shanks, bead hooks, dry hooks, etc.

Looks good

Rod racks have all kinds of options. I have a round one. With the reels off I can fit up tp 30 rods in it. So basically my older rods go in and the ones I use stay out.

I don’t really eat fish but I do like a piece in corn flakes and saltine crackers as the breading. Half flakes half crackers then fry.

If I tied those now I probably would add a guard or something.

Just to throw this out but I didn’t really know this and thought daylight savings time was for the farmers but it was actually created by a man in New Zealand who wanted extra hrs to catch bugs.

It’s deer hair. Just a minnow imitation.
