Fly Tying: Proportions of the Fly

This is a refresher for the beginning/intermediate tier. The visuals are a good refresher of how big each part of the fly should be. You will see intentional variations beyond the standards, much like watching the casting stroke of a distance fly caster. It is strikingly beyond the standards often taught to a beginner. That is fine. Learn the standards as you will exercise them most of the time.

Adventure Photography: Tyler Stableford

Came across the name Tyler Stableford from a woman’s blog (Sue Melus at Deerfly Diaries). Her husband, Glenn, was on the cover of Cabela’s. She was quite proud of her hubby and took time to mention Stableford, who took the pic. A look at Stableford’s body of work shows amazing shots, often on the move. An art in itself. Beyond fly fishing, but still interesting.
