New to Tying Flies for Fly Fishing

As most of you know i am a Avid angler of all sorts but i am fairly new to Fly Fishing, With that said I have entered into the world of fly fishing very slowly and taking it step by step. In my last post i wrote on how I attended a fly tying 101 class at the Orvis in Yonkers NY. It was then and there that i learned not only the basics of Fly tying but I also learned that primitive man has used the skills of trickery for hunting way back then and it was for survival and how lucky i am that I get to try and do this as a hobby.

We live in a world that we can have anything we want at a flick of a key, So i humbles me to sit down and practice tying a simple nymph and not even get it exactly correct but to know that this will work on catching a fish.  Of course some of us would much rather spend our free time on the water fishing and so would I but think about "THE PREP" "THE DEVILS IN THE DETAILS" its quite fulfilling knowning that the next time I get out on the East branch Stream System that my flies will be the primary flies I use and the flies I have purchased in the past will be my back up flies.

Now don't get this twisted, I am not telling you to not purchase store sold flies. On the contrary I think everyone should purchase flies as well as tie there own. Its a great Hobby and "Way of Life"

So if you have the time just try it once. Im heading to the 201 Class this week and I'm excited
