Early in my fly fishing, I had some missteps and fruitless moments. Somewhere along the line I got into a groove. And while I’m no expert or display-tier tier (yes: not tyer), I am much happier now. And this breeds confidence and  competence.

Today I’m sharing the four things I’d do if I had to start fly tying from scratch today. If you’re getting into it, perhaps this will give you a potential roadmap. If you are an accomplished tier, this might provide some food for thought as you encourage others.
