Hope you can provide some guidance without laughing. I recently uncovered a ton of fly tying materials along with the boxes of fishing stuff my Dad gave me when he moved to Florida. He used to tie some flys and jigs.
I don’t flyfish but I used the wooden egg rig and I use teasers. I started tying some flies and it’s a lot of fun, but I have a few questions.
1. How do you know which way the fly is going to sit in the water? Hook barb up or down? I’m doing some patterns, black back white bottom and I’m not sure which end is the bottom. See I told you you’d laugh.
2.I have some of the barbell lead eye weights, how do you attach these to the hooks? I tied one around a 1000 times and cemented it, its not that sturdy.
That’s it, the pictures of flies posted here are sweet. After this I’ll go back to the Striper Talk thread and discuss plugs and eel, I promise
