Beginning tying
I was wondering what was the first fly that you tied. Mine was the wooly worm. Last night I began teaching my sister how to tie and since I started with the wooly worm I figured I would start her with the same thing. It took her about 30 min. for her to tie it, and I barely helped her at all. Overall it turned out great. The hackle was evenly wrapped and the fly was perfectly proportioned. She tied it on a 2x long size 12 dry fly hook.

I have been mentoring, at a local library, those interested in fly tying. I use the Al Campbell series, that you can find here on FAOL.
Everyone seems to think, Woolly Bugger's the way to start. I like Al's series because it starts the beginner at the beginning, and moves on to related skills through the series. Al's first fly is the "EZ Nymph"!

Will never forget that first fly/flies. God awful looking marabou streamers that looked so bad, didn't want anyone to see me with them. Sooo, being nice, I gave them to my wife to use and she fished circles around me! Lesson Learned! Sometimes, the trout really don't seem to care that much.

My first fly was an ice cream cone midge, that was also my first hand tied fly that I caught A fish on. wish I would have saved it.

Wooly bugger was the first for me too. Learned from a TU fly tying class.
