All this talk about tying flies really makes me feel most humbled. I started fly fishing last year and have not got to the point of tying my own flies yet. Not only does this limit me to store bought flies in generally basic patterns and sizes but it makes it difficult to understand what fly is what and what all of you are talking about when describing a fly that you have tied. It also limits me in identifying which fly is which. I am only saying this because I realize what handicap I have right now and that I will be making every effort to correct it this year but to get the word out to others in the beginning stages of fly fishing so that they can see what I see and maybe get to tying some flies sooner than I have.
By the way, thanks for the information and description on your special flies. Someday soon I hope to tie some and see you on the lake.
