"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

Adventures In Fly Tying!

Brought to you by fanatics...

In January 2006 Joe Cornwall started writing a monthly fly tying column for the Buckeye United Fly Fishers. Most fly fishing clubs feature some sort of "featured fly" on the club websites. Jim Stuard, a fellow BUFF member, began recording the fly tying sessions and instantly became the producer and editor of the efforts, The combined efforts of Joe and Jim made the column unique and allowed it to grow into a resource for BUFF and for anglers everywhere. Each month the series is enriched with the addition of a new installment that includes video instruction of the fly tying process to make it easier to follow along and learn to tie the pattern! Each pattern added is carefully chosen to be useful for Midwestern anglers and offers step-by-step images, clearly written instructions, and a full video production of the fly being tied! We sincerely hope this effort encourages more anglers to try their hand at fly tying. Even more importantly, we hope more anglers will get out and fish on some of the wonderful local flows to be found in the Midwest. More folks tying flies and fishing local creeks means more eyes watching out for the quality of our collective fisheries! What a great result!

Each month we'll bring you a pattern selected to be effective for the angling you'll encounter during that month and in that season. We'll show you the variations and share some tips and tricks for fishing the fly. We'll even dabble a bit in the fascinating history of the sport of fly fishing. Tie the flies and then take them out on the water with you. With Fly Fish Ohio's Adventures in Fly Tying series you're guaranteed to fill your fly boxes with effective and interesting patterns that'll make you a more effective angler in the Midwest and beyond!

The Fly Fish Ohio team would like to thank Ed Vanover, Director of Telecommunications and Information Services for Benedictine College, for his generosity and assistance in hosting the Adventures in Fly Tying video files.
