Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive. Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period.
Anglers from around the world contribute their fly tying patterns to this collection through fly swaps and individual updates. Please add your
flies and create your own personal gallery on your Hot Spot web site as a free member. Whether you flyfish for trout, bass, salmon, crappie,
walleye, musky, marlin, stripers, or even catfish, your instructions will help fellow fishermen improve their experience. Fly Tying is both art
and science with guidelines and tying instructions to make the end result more useful and durable, but with a large margin of creativity allowed. Both freshwater
and saltwater gamefish can be taken with a hook, covered by thread, feathers, hackle, wing, dubbing, and whatever your imagination allows.
Please share your tieing adventures with us and feel free to use the patterns here to help you match the hatch, bend your rod, and fill your creel. We also have online fly swaps where you can exchange flies you've tied with other swappers around the globe. Members often exchange fly tying materials
and we have plans online that you can use to build your own fly tying bench. This is a great hobby that never grows old and you get to use the flies
you make to see how well you did.
