My first flies

first attempt, didn't use any patterns(obviously lol) just used what I was feeling at the moment

should have put something in the pic for size reference but they are all about dime/nickle size, 6 and 8 hooks

Gotta start somewhere!

Fish them like they’re the latest, hottest new pattern that everyone’s taking about, and just see what happens!

well, I got them wet in a creek near the house yesterday. The gills took a look at all of them, had a few hits on the bigger one's, but with debris floating everywhere and cold water they wouldn't take anything on top, but they really liked, and actually ate the middle one. Used a bb shot about 6" above it  to get it down into a 4' hole behind a big shallow rock that had current flow over the top of it. They were stacked in there! a few hand size one's but most were 4-5", no pics , was wading.

That's the one I thought might work & the one on the right also, but they all will on the right day at the right place.  I do think you will do better to copy proven patterns though. Woolly worm, woolly bugger, generic  nymphs, Clouser minnow, marabou minnow  are all easy enough to learn and after tying a lot of other stuff what I use the most. For small dry mine are almost always  Griffith’s Gnat  or simple brown or grizzly hackle fly.

Love them pan fish on a fly. They can sure spit fast.

For sure. Simpler the better and cheaper! Bugger and g gnat are great and simple to tie.
