Let’s tie a honey bee for those May flowers 💙Admittedly, this one is a bit impractical and ultimately tied too large for the hook, but what an amazing challenge!

@shetiesflies Ай бұрын

Thank you and yes! There are so many great tutorials out there to get started (may make my own one of these days) and plenty of books that can help you. If you have a local fly shop, I highly suggest you go take a look and ask questions. Find out what works for your local area of target species. Even better would be to find a mentor who can help you avoid pitfalls. I linked some Amazon lists to materials and tools that I use in the description, but I encourage you to shop local if you can. 😊 I would get a solid rotary vise if it’s within your budget - solid tools make a huge difference. Before you start working with a new material, do a quick search for tips and tricks for that material. There are so many great ones out there that can help you avoid rookie mistakes. Most of all - have fun with it!!
