2025 Fly Tying Resolution

[Fredrick]

To keep my fishing room, where I tie flies, cleaned up and better organized.

P.S. By the way, this isn’t my room, obviously. I believe it belongs to a guy named Andy Match and I stole it from him from Facebook.

Impressive

As a new fly tier, I've been getting the hang of tying nymphs, parachutes, and comparaduns. I feel like I've made some good progress so far. For 2025, I'm aiming to challenge myself and get comfortable with streamers.

1. Organize the hundreds (thousands?) of flies I have tied and stashed in cups and pucks into workable fly boxes so I don't just tie the same thing (Parachute Adams, Humpies) over and over again.

1. Tie a few mono beast flies (flyes)

If you want to get more into dubbing loops I can heartedly recommend the Smhaen dubbing twister. They tain’t cheap, but after many years of tying flies and using several other dubbing loop tools, that is the only one I’m ever going to use from now on. (See this video)

Smhaen Master Dubbing Twister

The SMHAEN Master dubbing twister is the only dubbing twister in the world with a 100% dubbing loop control system.

I hope I’m not turning into a gear junkie but after watching the video, i think I need one.

I plan on tying allot of Bob Pop patterns particularly ones with bucktail. Also tie more saltwater patterns for stripers and Reds

i ran out of boxes already with saltwater flies.

My resolution is to tie more efficient knots on my flies. A big “THANK YOU” to all of you who provided videos on the Knot Tying Post. All of them will help me. I spend way too much time at the stream trying to switch flies (or, tying new flies due to tree snags…2nd Resolution: Improve casting on tight tree-lined streams).
