Tying flies / fly fishing / Vermont
Up next, the Klinkhamer. I'll do a dozen standard like this, a few hi-viz post, a few all black with hi-viz post, and I'm also going to try black posts this year for visibility in high glare.

#flyfishing people - do you tie your own leaders? please talk me out of it....

Success from the Guides' Choice Hares Ear tonight. Amazed how well a sz 14 klink works as an indicator and can easily float a weighted & beaded sz 16 nymph.

This was the first year I tied klinkhammers for my dry box.
Glad to find that they work!

First trout of the year, on a brook I hadn't fished before today. 15 days earlier than my first trout last year. Took a sz 14 prince nymph tied this winter.

Very cool to see one of my local fly shops, Tied by Night, featured by Flylords in this video. Roland is a local legend. Even seems like he tidied up the shop for this video!

Ok, what's everyone's fav online #flyfishing retailer that's offering that SA 2-for-1 deal?

Reading @davidrcoggins.bsky.social "The Optimist" and it's the first time I've heard someone other than my own father wax poetic about Snyder's of Hanover brown box pretzels

Mid-tie thought: isn't a stimulator just a really big elk hair caddis? #flytying

Realized today that the only "true" dry flies I tied this winter are Elk Hair Caddis, Para-Adams, and Stimulators 👀 Everything else is a foam hopper or an emerger.
Should I tie up any other "true" dries?

Stepping out of my comfort zone to spin some deer hair for bass flies. This is as close as I have come so far to a presentable Taps Bug

Oof. Last year's mess. Technically I have enough newly tied flies that I don't need any of these 🤔

These sparkle pupae 'bubbles' are really annoying me. Difficult to get right. But the quest to figure it out makes it easy to tie a dozen #flytying #flyfishing

First stimulator where I've got the proportions right and fit everything on the hook. Now I just need to size the rear hackle correctly and I'm almost there

Tying a few ugly little foam beetles for when hoppers are too big #flytying #flyfishing
