Tips for the Fly Tying Database
Leaving the search field blank
will return a listing of all flies in the
database.
Click on any letter in the alphabet
and a listing of all flies starting with that
letter will appear.
Basic Search
Type the name, or partial name, of a fly into
the search box, click submit, and all flies
containing those words will appear. For example,
typing in "Adams" will return the
following flies: Adams, Adams Irresistible,
Moose-mane Adams, Parachute Adams, and any
other fly that has "Adams" in the
name.
Advance
Search
Advance search has two very
powerful features: searching by type of fly
and searching by materials.
Searching by Type of Fly
If you would like to see all the flies of
one particular type in the database, Dry Flies
for example, go to "Advanced Search",
go to the "Type" field, click the
button next to "Dry Fly, scroll to the
bottom of the page and click "Submit."
An alphabetical listing of all the Dry Flies
in the database will then be displayed.
Searching by Materials
In advanced search you can put in just about
any material in any field and if there is
a fly in the database matching, it will be
displayed. A neat way to use this feature
is let's say you have an overabundance of
Grizzly Hackle you bought to tie Grizzly Wulffs
but 12 dozen flies seems sufficient for the
moment. Why not get a list of recipes that
use grizzly for hackle? Simply go to Advance
Search, type "Grizzly" in the hackle
field, and all flies that use "Grizzly"
for hackle will be displayed. Try it with
any material that you seem to be constantly
accumulating but not using.
