So I have seen afew "My first fly threads", some of them are not so bad, some of them well...
Anyway I thought it would be cool to post pics of peoples first fly, even the pro's on here. If anything it might give hope and encouragement to the starters.
I shall start, with this ugly thing. I was so excited when I got my vise I just took it out and started to tie. All I had was some pintail feathers. And I went out and bought some sewing thread before hand because I kinda expected to get the vise as a gift. I figured I would whip it out and start making beautiful size 20 dries right off the bat. About 2 years later I can make decent size 18 dries. Did not do much research on how to tie before I got the vise so I learned rather slowly.
