CDL Shrimp

[@KCoutdoors1]

This video timing is perfect! I’m attempting my first fly ever today. Ordered about $300 worth of materials online. Thank you for all the tutorials, they inspired me to get into this craft. I’ve never even fly fished but want to on my own flies

Awesome man! Good luck! Glad the videos help. I personally would start with something a little easier. Not that you can’t tie this for your first fly, it’s not terribly difficult however, when learning to tie, you want to learn the basics of tying first and not jump into something moderately difficult. For streamers I’d recommend a wooly bugger (for fresh water) or maybe a closer minnow (for saltwater). If you’re looking to tie trout nymphs, a zebra nymph (or variation). For dry flies a Griffiths gnat is great to start.

Hey, it’s been a while since saying hello. Hope you and the family had an enjoyable Christmas. That’s a really nice shrimp pattern with the brown tones and CDL feathers - a rib wound around that craft fur back would be cool and durable. Looks like it’s definitely get eaten! Best wishes for a blessed New Year.
