Increasing ideas for new flies
One of the challenges I have tying new flies and patterns is just that, coming up with new ideas for flies and patterns! The tool below is a great way to spark ideas based on several common categories for a new fly.
To use the tool simply click “Generate” and a list of random characteristics will be displayed that should help you try something new. Feel free to turn on/off different categories to get different ideas. I like using ‘Bug’ and ‘Bug Life Stage’ and then mixing in ‘Material’ or ‘Action’ to get a tying session started.
