Newbie Here
 
I am a newbie....I just bought my first vise last week, and have
alreay tied a few flies, they don't look that great, but they did work
this morning in the sal****er. I am looking for help in tying some
good sal****er flies, mainly for flounder and other inshore fish. I
also do a lot of offshore, but have yet to try flies for it...any help
would be appreciated. Thanks..

Help? Dispose of all your tying gear and materials now.

There, I just helped save you form a lifetime of thrall to
the vice.

Rusty,
Go to your local fly shop and buy some of the recommended ones and then tie
up. My all time favorite for stripers, blues and albies is an all white
clouser with plenty of pearl flash. Size to whatever you are fishing for.
Don't forget to epoxy the head and color the head thread red before you
epoxy.

Bill was "Right On".
Something I always did was use clear tying thread. This way you can add
glitter or whatever to the head, and still see the colors the fly was tied
with.
I found epoxy to work, then I tried Hard Head by Loon, less messy.
