“Many of us probably would be better fishermen if we did not spend so much time watching and waiting for the world to become perfect.”
-Norman Maclean
Welcome to The Fat Fingered Fly Tyer, a chronicle of misadventures and a catalog of feathered creations dedicated to those who do not wait “for the world to become perfect.”
Recognizing that art does not come easy and living by the motto “Ugly Flies Catch Fish Too,” we are committed to building a library of step-by-step tutorials covering easy to tie flies that even the most artistically disinclined and thick fingered among us can master. Along the way, we’ll chronicle our misadventures afield from the black water bayous of southern Louisiana to the gin-clear trout streams of Colorado and beyond.
With any luck, we’ll be entertaining and informative enough to keep you coming back from time to time.
