Lazy sunday afternoon tying

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

Thanks guys
Tying a few flies for fun won’t replace fishing but if that’s not possible it’s a nice way to enjoy too

Spectacular - that Red Quill is ripe!

You either like cane fly rods - or you don't.
