Hand tied Flies
I also attended the meeting today at the Central Iowa Fly Fishers. We did have a fellow fly fisherman (he moved here from Boznia 9 years ago) demonstrate fly tying without a vise. They do it because of economics but it is a great talent to have. Lee Wulfe actually tied flies to match the hatch in the middle of rivers. He also show us pictures of 130+ pound trout from Boznia. It is a very interesting country with a great fishery.
I have attached pictures of two of the flies we tied today, a bead head pheasant tail #18 similar to Bunzo and a 18 dry fly I tied even with a broken vise (cut finger).
This was a lot of fun and I think enhances our skills in this sport. You never know when you might need to tie a fly.
