Favorite Flies of the Smokies - Southern Appalachia


If you can tie one or a few styles of flies, then you can tie many others by just changing the colors and materials used. This is the whole basis of this instructional. I don't care if you tie a Light Cahill with perfect coloration, just learn to tie the wings right, the tail, the body and wrap standard dry fly hackle and you can tie many other types of flies. All dubbings can be ordered for a particular color like, Cahill Creme, Hendrickson Pink, Adams Gray, etc. This page consist of a list of flies you can now tie after mastering the individual operations needed for the flies in this course. The material list are arranged in order of the sequence of tying.
