Question On Tying Your Own Flies (Fly Fishing Experts Please Read)?

Can you tie a fly any way you want? or does it have to look exactly like a fly. Because i have been learning about tying flies and have made a very pretty attractive one. And i doubt any fly would look like that but would a fish bite it. so my question is can you make a custom fly or do you have to tie flys that actually exist.

Thanks For Reading And Take It Easy On Me, Im A Beginner.

I’m not an expert, but I know a few people who would fuss you out severely. lol I made a few flies and they fussed me out, so I know! Though my fly was “pretty” it didn’t get nearly as many hits as theirs did (of course they let me TRY it before telling me why I shouldn’t have DONE it. lol). My arm was tired from casting and I had nothing to show for all that effort.

Usually, as they explained to me patiently like I was daft, the object is to mimic an actual insect which the target fish finds irresistible. Different insects are available at different times of the year, and tend to spark more interest in the fish at different times of the year.

It’s rather like using color for crappie, instead of a paticular type of lure. If you use the same lure item, they bite different colors better at different times of the year.

So, you can try your new fly and see what kind of hitting response it gets. Who knows? You may have just developed the hottest new item on the market for next spring. lol

Good luck, and enjoy the fishing. I always do (even when they don’t bite – that’s what the beer is for!).
