Well the Summer Fishing season is now on it’s way here and I’ve been Tying some Fly’s. Here’s some I Tyed last year. I’ll post what I’ve Tyed so far this year. Let’s see what lures you catch the Big Fish with Homemade or Commercial made. 
Fly Tying and other Fishing Lures

I used to tie but after a pause of over four years I sold all my tying materials and tools. 
Still have about 200 flies somewhere.....Hmm
It was a good passtime, both tying and using them.
Your flies look very good. (didn't think I would ever say that to anyone! lol)
I used to have good results on Montana patterns, and Zonkers. Mirco midges also worked well around here.
Some of the better fish I have had on the fly rods.
10lb common carp. on a red chenille worm. That was fun.
A 2 kg mullet on a bread fly. (a bit of white foam from a pillow)
A 4kg pike on a 3inch fry lure, tied from a couple of black and white hackle whist fishing for sea-trout from the breakwaters at the coast!
LOL I even caught a trout once in a while.

I've always thought i'd love to give it a go. But if i am honest to myself, i would get bored of it very quickly and the equipment would just sit there.
Far easier to buy the flies and go fishing. But i can see the attraction of doing it.

Ian. Thanks for the compliment on my fly’s. Trout is probably my favorite fish to catch I like how they fight but when they’re done they’re done. Unlike a bass that keeps fighting you to your wore out or breaks your line.
Yes it is but the satisfaction of catching a nice fish with the lure that you have made and a pattern that you came up with is priceless. I got tired of paying the ridiculous high prices fly shops and bait shops were asking for lures many years ago so I decided to start making my own.

Have some OK sea trout fishing almost on the doorstep. I will have to try it one day lol.
Another local visitor here in Denmark are gar fish- the ones with the sword nose. They are great fun on a #4 flyrod. fight like nuts and loads or airtime!
Just remembered I had a 3 pound cod on fly many years ago while fishing for Makrel. That was fun. As is fly-fishing Makrel by the way.
Mackerel on the fly are really fun. Been a few years since i've tried for them though. I tend to go after the little Brown Trout these days. Normally carry my little wood gas stove with me so they go straight onto the bbq
