A List of Flytying Websites

One of the guys at North Georgia Trout On Line put this list together. I don’t think they will mind my sharing it with all of you, especially considering his first entry. There are several of us FAOL member who also show up at NGTO (http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ngto/ ) nice folk over there, a lot like the ones around here.:wink:

That is a great list. A newcomer will be in hog heaven looking up those links!!!

Jesse,
Always fun to see new lists. I prefer those (such as Charlie’s Flybox) that have step by step tutorials that I can print & have in front of me when I tie. I’ll have to look through my list & if any of those are not on your list, I’ll post them in this thread.
Thanks again,
Mike

That was a total R&D (rob and duplicate) on my part, as I said one of the guys at NGTO did the work, but I am going to edit the message and add your two websites, just in case some one wants to R&D it for themselves.

I agree completely Mike, I have several patterns I have copied and added to tying books; I really like the videos as I have never had an experienced tyer show me how to do much, other than a few minutes at a show. Leroy Hyatt has gotten me where I use a dubbing loop to do most dubbing instead of dubbing on a single thread. Before watching the KWSU, thanks to all of the Washington state tax payers, I thought you used dubbing loops only for brushy dubs. Proof you can teach old Mississippi rednecks to do something different.

Great resource list saving me lots of Google time…Thank you :slight_smile:

I’ve posted this one before, you need more time on the computer here’s 533 different links for fly fishing.

Mike,

Just in case you are not aware of bones website, troutflies.com (listed above), Harry has several step-by-step tutorials that may interest you.

I couldn’t find any of mine that aren’t on the list here, but the one you suggested was not on mine…It is NOW!
Thanks,
Mike

Could we add this as a page on the Fly Tying section of this website?
