Entering Flies into the Database

Fly Recipes have a simple, logical elegance: material is added in the order that it is listed in the recipe.

This creates a problem when creating a vast database that anyone can add flies to. It is simply impossible to list every possible material or part on an electronic form. Not to mention trying to get them all in the correct order.

We have endeavored to list as many of the most common parts of a fly in the form, but realize that it is still lacking in many respects. So, we have left a large box titled "Other Materials" capable of holding hundreds of characters for added materials lists. Please use this box to list any additional materials needed.

"Tying Instructions"
IMPORTANT
In the tying instructions field please list the tying order for your fly. For example,

Tying Order: wing, tail, body, hackle

Listing the tying order will help overcome the electronic database problems and also let tyers know if you fly varies from conventional tying order for a particular type of fly. If appropriate, you can also include other specialized tying instructions here. Check out one of our classic flies, like the Adams, to see what we mean.

"Notes"
Use this box to tell us anything and everything about the fly: fishing tips, stories of how the fly came into being, variations on the pattern, or anything else you can think of. Part of the joy of sharing fly patterns is the stories behind each one.

Submitting the Pattern
Please check your pattern and information over carefully before clicking the Submit Button. You will not have a chance to review your pattern information or make changes after it has been submitted. Your submission will also be available online immediately after you submit it. Please click Submit only once, otherwise your pattern may be submitted multiple times. If you do notice a problem with your pattern submission, please email us and we'll correct it as soon as possible.
