Guest Jim S. Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 When I first tried tying a fly, I tried to do a baby Bluegill bucktail streamer. This was the first fly I ever did, so I thought I'd post it. It is just bucktail with a pair of feathers from Hobby Lobby and some green and blue tinsel for some flash from Michaels. Quote
Guest rich mc Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 everyone has a first tied fly my first bugger fell part . main thing is you are now activly engaged in fly tying therapy Quote
Rob G Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Did your streamer ever get fished and if so, did it catch anything? I tied my first fly in the mid 70's, a small sponge or foam spider with rubber band legs for local panfish. I didn't own a vise but my tennis racquet stringing machine clamps sufficed. Quote
Guest Jim S. Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 Did your streamer ever get fished and if so, did it catch anything? No, have not fished it, but will in the Spring. Quote
Ryan Kral Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 Almost has the look of one of those fancy Atlantic Salmon flies, only those guys wouldn't dare use material from Hobby Lobby! Shame on you! Just kidding, looks good, no reason a fish won't eat that. Ryan Quote
Tom L Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 Looks a lot better than my first. The hook eye of my first fly was covered with thread...... Quote
