I started fly fishing when I was 8 and didn’t have a lot of money to buy fly tying supplies, so I often used what was available. Borrowing cross stitch thread from my Grandmom was a good option. Lots of colors are available and you can make a great worm fly with them. They are still working half a decade later. I rig them Texas style or add a stinger imbedded in the tail for sunfish. I picked up a bag of cross stitch thread at a garage sale the other day and made a few. I caught this yesterday.

Nice eat.

I’m going to need that in black and blue and watermelon red please. Nice fish!
