How-to-Steps Dry Flies
About These Patterns
This page will teach you how to steps for several dry fly patterns. These are very detailed steps and my goal was to make sure you understood exactly what I was doing in each step. It’s like I’m sitting right next to you. I also have videos on how to tie some of these patterns on my You Tube channel. If you look up at the top of the home page you will see a link that says YouTube. So pull out a vise and let’s get to tying!! Make sure you check back and see what’s been added. The new ones will be at the bottom of the page.
