Fly Tying Tutorials
Monthly step-by-step patterns, tied and fished in New Zealand rivers.
This is a growing collection of fly patterns I trust on the water.
Each tutorial is broken down stage by stage, showing not just how to tie the fly, but why each material is used.
What to expect
One new fly tutorial added each month
Clear photo-by-photo tying stages
Patterns tested in NZ rivers and backcountry water
Practical fishing notes, not theory
How to use these patterns
Each tutorial follows the same structure — materials first, then a step-by-step build using one photo per stage. If you’re new to tying, start at the top and follow along. If you’re experienced, skip straight to the variations and fishing notes.
