Thinking of getting into tying

[8fishermen]

If you have an Orvis shop near you they usually offer fly tying lessons for free. They start you off with the basics but the tips and techniques you will learn will be well worth your time. There are lots of tricks that most people don't know that will make tying more enjoyable and more effective. I have been tying for 20 years now. I joined a fly fishing club here a couple of years ago and until then I did not know how much I didn't know. LOL You can also pick up an Orvis basic fly tying book and teach yourself. They teach a basic wooly bugger. All the skills involved in tying a wooly bugger applies to tying jigs. The neat thing about the class is that you get to try lots of different equipment and tools without it costing you anything.

Tying jigs is the best hobby that you possibly could have after 54 years of tying jigs I still enjoy a quiet time at the bench enters nothing better than catching fish on something that you have made with your own hands.
