Sometimes #FlyTying is a bit frustrating - I guess as much as #FlyFishing, at times?

Trying to get the hang of ribbing with a few #14 Vinyl Rib Chironomids (Recipe: Fish and Forage).

#WomenWhoTieFlies
A nymph fly held in a pair of pliers. It has an olive green vinyl ribbed body, neon green tag behind a brass bead head and white yarn jutting from the top.

Local #SaintJohn #FlyTying representing at the Moncton Sportsmen Show. Cassie Ross did a great job leading us through a few #trout patterns. She’s been a great ambassador for the craft and support for me. 💕🐟🐡 #WomenWhoTieFlies #FlyFishing

Made a new-to-me fly this morning! Little Brown Stonefly (recipe by Jim Misiura). #FlyTying #FlyTyer #Flies 🧪 #WomenWhoTieFlies
Hand holding pliers, which in turn hold a dry fly for trout fishing, in front of a green grid mat. The fly has a fake white and black wing made from a grizzly hackle feather, and a big bushy white collar around the hook eye, also made from a grizzly hackle feather.

Thanks for the inspiration @aarnegranlund.bsky.social!
