I also may need a bigger hook 😅

Alewife herring fly. I did not like my first attempts, shape and color. After an hour and a half of devising, a hybrid fly, flatwing tailing and hollow fly body with a mix of bucktail and synthetics. If only I had junglecock eyes…🤷🏻‍♂️ #flytying #flyfishing

Olive half and half fly tied on a 1/0 mustad. #flyfishing #flytying

Hollow fleye 3/0 #flyfishing #flytying

Small flies to swing! 23mm shank + Size 6 Gamakatsu octopus hook. #flyfishing #flytying

Upcoming big snowstorm in Mass means no fishing unfortunately, unless weather changes… Switching gears to get some flies tied up for the next striped bass season. Here I have a 2/0 Flatwing at about 7.5”. 🙌🙌 #flytying #flyfishing

I was also considering firehole hooks but their sizes run big compared to other brands 🤔

Yes! Moonlit is based out of Idaho, have not had any bad experiences with them so far. I just tied a few on a size 16.

No experience with the quality of their fly tying materials, but I just purchased up a few packs of Moonlit fishing hooks to use for tenkara flies. I do have a sweet little glass 3wt from them for small stream. #flyfishing #flytying #tenkara

Its definitely possible. I only have a few articulated streamers purchased from various shops, and a few have their hooks tied in that manor as well with the trailer hook downward facing. Not too sure why, but I thought if try.

sorry for the messy handwriting wrote it on my lap, lol

Never really tie articulated streamers, but heres one i free-styled, looks pretty good underwater. No beads to use between the hooks unfortunately. Good profile and movement. Let me know your thoughts. #flyfishing #flytying

yup fragile stems.

“Federal Agent” tossed around as word of imposed authority when in reality any random can become one. In this day and age of a corrupt government, we are supposed to put our trust in unqualified masked enforcers who play judge jury and executioner. #minnesota

Soft hackles are the best. My absolute favorite style of flies to tie n fish since I started. Heres my current trout box for new england. #flytying #flyfishing

Broke my echo ion xl rod during a trip other week, and when I got back to file a claim they reached out pretty quickly to get it sorted out free of charge. Just wanted to share my experience with Echo Rods, first time using their warranty, and I own 3 #flyfishing

Another freestyle spey fly #flyfishing #flytying

flies lookin better, i think 😂 #flyfishing #flytying

Spent a couple hours today swinging a sculpin pattern in high water and got some real nice grabs. Managed to get one brownie to the net. Pattern success! #flyfishing #flytying

I dont want to fish tiny tiny nymphs some days, so I opted to make tiny streamers! sitting around an inch! 💪 #flyfishing #flytying

Seldom in New England, can you find crystal clear waters such as the known Swift River. The lower stretches provide plenty of hiding places for trout in the duckweed, cutbanks and downed trees. Harder access but well worth a shot, to escape the crowds. #flyfishing#flytying

Healthy brownie today on a midge!

ill have to procure a razor blade easier to bend more likely than the xacto blade i was using.

The process of trying to improve a sculpin pattern. First time using deerhair for the head, any tips? #flyfishing #flytying

Nice wild buck I got today, on a size 18 winter stonefly. #flyfishing #flytying

Smaller flies have brought mackerel to the net. Lots of flash and doesnt have to be weighted in 4-6feet of water ive seen them come up to chase sub surface flies.

better pic!
