Winter is the time to get some trout gear ready for spring or late winter fishing. I have had fun of late trying to tie some new patterns and here are some thoughts for anyone new fly fishing and tying. I have been making my own trout flies since I was in Junior high, in Clarkston, WA. This is good fishing country, you might say the Snake River Ran Through It. Many of my group got our start fishing the River for steelhead and bass and Asotin Creek for trout.
I think anyone would enjoy learning to tie up some flies as a craft if not to use them for fishing.
But it is not my aim to start teaching you how to tie flies. On the internet you can type in any trout fly by name and it will give you several U-tube or other webpages that will show better than I can write how to tie any flies or make your own fishing gear. I wish I had had the net to help me learn because most of my skills were taken
and learned from books, and outdoor magazines.
