Tying One On - my first time

[CoyoteSpinner]

[center]Having been dabbling with spinner baits, and spinner/bead harness combos - I thought maybe I'd dig into that box of feathers and fur I got from my dad. I know I've got a LOT to learn, and loads more practicing to do - and as dismal as my very first whooly bugger came out - I think a couple of other experiments might hold some hope.

I'll have to go back to basics and learn the traditional fly patterns - so I can "match the hatch" - rather than throw something so gaudy and attrocious that I'll scare off all the fish! Of course - maybe seeing something different will be just the trigger to strike!

One set is smally wooly styles:

While the other is longer - more streamer like patterns:
