In guided mode you choose your materials for each component of the fly in the order you would add them in the real world. It’s a great teaching tool for new fly tiers. In non-guided mode you’re free to add any components of any materials in any order. This gives you the freedom to explore new ideas for countless flies quickly and easily.

You can also customize most components. You can select a different hackle size and a thicker or more sparse application.

That includes mixing any combination of dubbing colors, wedding quill sections for multi-colored wings, stacking layers of bucktail on a streamer, etc. You can save all the flies you create and sort them by name, style, or creation date. You can view the recipe, reload the fly, give them your own star ratings, and even watch the flies get tied again. You also get access to flies created by the community. You can add any published fly to your own collection, and publish the flies you create yourself. Fly Tying Simulator is also available as a feature of the Complete Package in Fly Fishing Simulator HD. There you have all the same features, and can also use your flies to fish in the simulation.
