BEGINNERS CLASS - FLY TYING TECHNIQUES
Whip Finish – Thompson Tool
This tool wraps the thread towards the eye of the hook which is useful in smaller dry flies where the hackle shouldn’t be trapped.
Whip Finish – Matarelli Tool
This technique applies to the Matarelli style of whip finishing tool. The knot is made wrapping to the rear of the hook.
Hand Whip Finish
This style of whip finish is nothing more than a series of half hitches, which makes this technique useful and quick when materials should be secured.
Attach the Thread
Tying your own flies will add a very satisfying dimension to the whole fly fishing experience. Apart from being able to tie proven patterns, the sky is the limit when designing a pattern you think might be the ultimate fish destroyer. Be observant when fishing, make mental notes (or real notes) on how insects and other food forms behave and maybe take a few pictures.

HiVis CDC Midge
The fish are rising all around you to midges. You open your flybox and search for your tiniest midge pattern. You finally manage to tie one onto the 7x tippet and cast it out.

Polar Fibre Minnow
I always knew there had to be some other use for the fur lining my car’s dashboard. I found it, thanks to Cliff Rochester of the Fishient group who came up with the Polar fibre minnow almost a decade ago.
