Fly Tying Is On The Increase Say John Norris

July 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Leading fishing tackle supplier John Norris are reporting that fly tying is on the increase.

A spokesperson for the John Norris fly tying department revealed, "We're delighted to see that sales of fly tying products are increasing.  We're seeing that more and more of our customers are choosing to make their own flies in a bid to save money, as well as to learn more about what attracts the sort of fish they're catching.   Many anglers are beginning to discover just how many more fish they can catch by tying their own flies."

For those new to fly tying, kits are available which contain all of the necessary items to get started.  These are inexpensive and will provide an insight into what sort of materials and methods work in order to attract different sorts of fish, in different sorts of waters and at different times of the year.

Clamps and vices are essential when fly tying so that hands remain free for constructing the fly itself. As flies have to be authentic and realistic, attention to detail is extremely important.

Different fly tying materials are used for body of the fly, and so using the right materials is vital, otherwise the fish won't think the fly is real, and won't bite.  

With plenty of options for feathers, especially for surface flies that are used to attract fish, rather than to be exact replicas of their food, fly tyers can be creative and use their own ideas to see what works and what doesn’t.  

Eyes will need to be realistic so that the fish believe that there is a real fly coming towards them.  As flies have different sorts of eyes, John Norris stocks a wide range of materials suitable for use as eyes.

At John Norris fly tying books are also available so that those who want to learn more can do.  Knowing what a fish's favourite food is, and how to create it at home will mean that there is a much better chance of catching it.  

As with all the other items of fishing tackle at John Norris, such as fishing rods, lines and reels, fly tying materials offer fantastic value for money, and will help to make fishing more enjoyable.
