“How to Tie a Fly” (Humor)

Jack Ohman is the funniest fly fisher we know.  Luckily, he is also a genius at drawing cartoons.  This week we share his “How to Tie a Fly,” which had even the non-tiers on our staff rolling on the floor.  “I have read a lot of fly-tying instruction books,” writes Ohman, “and some of them are pretty good. But I have not as yet seen a fly-tying book that honestly breaks the process down, step-by-step, and shows you—honestly—how to do it in a way that truly reflects what you need to know. So I provide here a basic, building-blocks guide to tying a fly.”
