Love the podcasts. I’ve been tying for some time and thought I’d share a couple of tips. When tying a new pattern I start out with with a bigger hook like a 10 and work my way down to like a 16, tying a half dozen of each size. Helps me get a sense/feel of the fly before it too small to see. Also if I’m tying a dozen or so of the same pattern, I like to have my materials out and already sized (ie hackle) so I don’t have to spend time on every fly finding the right feather. This works for a number of materials and can save you lots of time, making tying much less frustrating. I hope these tips are helpful for some your listeners. Thanks!
I actually talked about that on a previous podcast episode (can't remember which one) but there really isn't any need to change tactic because a trout came from the hatchery. You'll change tactics depending on water type and what bugs are hatching.
hello, I have only been fishing for about three months and i want to eventually get into tying onb a budget as well. What flies would you recommend are patterns that share materials so that I'm not stuck with material that is only used for one fly.
Would definitely recommend checking out our Beginner Material Pack on our website. It’s a great way to learn and you’ll not waste any materials. 😎🤙🏽 www.venturesflyco.com
Yo ventures your vids have helped me a lot with tying my own flies but I ordered the beginner fly tying kit from you to go along with the master class series and it didn’t come with the grizzly or the brown dry fly hackle, I think my mom emailed you about it but idk if you saw lol, if you happen to see this comment can we figure something out please? I really wanna tie a parachute adams and all the other dries. Thx
Hey! Dang it… our bad. So many materials in that thing sometimes we miss one while packing them by hand. Just send us an email to livereellife@venturesflyco.com and we’ll get you taken care of.
Dose anyone out there demagnetize the hook? I had to pick up a cheep demagnetizer to prevent my tools from sticking to hooks as I try to sort them out when choosing a hook.

Fantastic advice!!
Great episode. I’d like to hear your thoughts on how your tactics change for native and stocked trout.

I haven't had that problem before, but I've heard of it happening to some people, so it's probably normal.
I’ve had that happen occasionally… but sounds like you got it figured out. Didn’t even know a demagnetizer was a thing. Haha. Good work! - Alex
