Fly Tying Videos

Old Definition: Dressing a hook in the imatation of an insect for use in fishing.

New Definition: Creative use of natural and/or synthetic materials to replicate any food source that fish feed on as well as realistic imitations of insects.

Here at The Angler's Net we encourage all types of imitation and look forward to see what you have been creating at your vise. Whether it's a classic pattern, one that you have tweaked to fill a niche in your own flybox or something off the wall. Upload a step by step video or just add a picture with a recipe. New videos will be highlighted on our home page and we will keep your fly in our searchable archives. You can search by target species, category of fly, or by member name. Check back often to see what new fly is featured and upload your latest creation.
