I can't tie worth a well we won't go there, but I do like to collect flies that other angler's tie. Do you have any pic's of flies you've tied ? If so post a few, I would be interested as others I'm sure are to view them.

Keep the pic's comin, nice looking flies. Maybe we should start calling you the Fly Guys, they used to have the Fly Girls on a show on Fox back in the 90's. :D :D

Yeah right, who'd watch us on TV. My crotchless waders would have them running for the hills.:D

And Lunker is being modest, he's pretty good with a vise.

Oh yeah, flyrods and waders would be jumping off the shelves at Cabela's after that. I could be the center fold for the Spring Cabela's catalog.:D

I don't tie flies for trout,etc. but I do tie various small jigs for gills and crappies. Also, hair and bucktail jigs for bass & walleye have worked well for me. My favorite is a crawdad jig dipped in brown, powder paint and tied with fox squirrel hair. Looks more like a crawdad in the water than a crawdad does:) catches anything that swims including big Erie smallmouth!!......TF
