Alen,
For many flies you can use different approaches. Some frame makers simply make a large opening and arrange their flies in that - like here - others make an opening per fly, which is a lot of work and requires precision, but can be quite amazing as seen here in this frame with the flies from the Danish Fly Festival 1997.

Ok
I understand that you emphasize only a few together
But for example I wanted to do the Wolff series which is about a dozen
How would I go about mounting dozens in the same frame?
Hi.
This fly is from cork. You can drink a bottle of good wine, and after that, you can make you own fly. Nothing to lose. The wine is for you, and the cork is for fish :D

Fish is for you.

Hello i have been thinking about making my own fly tying videos what kind of camer do you suggest {i dont want to spend a ton of money}

Thank's, Martin.
The second fly (Green beetle) is very effective for chub - one of the fishes in BG for fly fishing.
The first fly (George 1) is universal fly - for trout, chub ...
Cheers.

A man,a boat,a lake,& fly rod what could be wrong with that,"nothing" thats what.
really a great marvellous your works. congratulations.
Very nice tutorial, finally an easy way of tying a worm pattern!!
Thanks,
Tom.
Awesome fly patterns there Scott, they're absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful flies. I love your color schemes too.
A stunning collection,well done Scott...
GREAT SITE FOR FLYFISHING BEGINNERS AS I AM , CAN YOU RECOMMEND GOOD FISHING SPOTS IN CENTRAL SCOTLAND AS I STAY IN GLASGOW KIND REGARDS JOHN.
Martin, I have been tying flies for about 40 years now. I got started when I bought a box at an auction for $5.00 dollars. It was full of feathers tools and other stuff. The vise was a Herters and after a few years I replaced it with a better vise. I would imagine that I have spent several hundereds of dollars on stuff and it has been a great hobby. I am mainly a warmwater fisherman but I tie flies of all types just because I like to tie. I have given away most of them and you are correct that it is a hobby that cost money. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I still buy flies becuase I want to see how they are tied. Your article hits the spot.
I think a few other good patterns to try are elk hair caddis, compara dun and x caddis, wulffs are good too. These require hair and not much hackle and they are fairly economical to make. Picking simple flies like wooly buggers teaches you skills and how to work with materials. I also would avoid fashion flies with hot materials or foam and glue starting out. Focus instead on skills and learning. Makes 6s or dozens of all. Cheap tools are better than no tools and crap is still crap. The very best bang for the buck of vises is the Danvise. I tie on a Regal as I hate ***ckin' little set screws and bitty levers that don't lock hooks. Most of the rotatory functions are worthless. I've owned several and never use the rotatory stuff, then again, my first premium vise was an HMH, I still have 30 years.
Where can I purchase the sharks caddis fly?
[b:3ee41e9505][quote:3ee41e9505="pittendrigh"]What bobbin is that? ............interesting[/quote:3ee41e9505]
Faruk Ekich designed and built his "Ultimate Bobbin" a while back⦠it dispenses thread at a calibrated tension great enough to hold material but not so much as to allow for thread breakage⦠the internal spring that generates the tension can be quickly and easily "reset" every 24" [or sooner during the tying process]⦠the "reset" is a one handed motion that has become part of my tying routine and is well worth any preconceived inconvenience [ie: non-event]⦠I've become quite dependent on the thread rewind /retract function⦠and NO more manually rewinding thread after using the bobbin hanger function...
While his original design is still very much available [I use & enjoy mine very much], Faruk's latest tool evolution has allowed for a price reduction without sacrificing quality nor functionâ¦
This new S-series utilizes the same thread tensioning system as the original but incorporates an injection molded durable polymer fuselage that results in a very comfortable tool that rests in the hand very nicely while dispensing thread at the pre-set calibrated tension⦠As with both of his bobbins, more tension can be manually applied by "palming" the thread spool with finger tip pressureâ¦
If we are "lucky", Martin may be doing one of his enlightened educational articles regarding all things Bobbin⦠a comparison of quality tools that every tyer relies on⦠and I eagerly await his formidable schooling and technical insightsâ¦
Standing by to stand by for newsâ¦
update:
the initial prototype is outstandingâ¦
some details are being tweaked prior to the major production runâ¦
if all goes as planned, the S-series Automatic will be available for the Symposium in November [if not sooner]â¦

… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
