Today Jon and I endeavored to use the new fly tying materials he got for Christmas. We watched a few YouTube videos to get us excited and some what educated on the basics and then started. I can't count the number of times we had to rewind a specific video on how to tie a whip finish. All in all it was a bunch of fun until the frustration level began to increase in both of us. It may be time for a class or help from a more experienced fly tier (sp).
Here is my first attempt at a fly. It was fun. We used the feathers from a locally harvested pheasant and hackle from Jon's kit. Sorry about the focus. The second fly was all Jon. He did a great job using the materials and tool from his kit.
We set up the tying station right next to the computer so we could tie and watch videos at the same time. Here is Jon tying away.
