I started tying flies about 25 years ago, so I guess that makes me a new commer too.
I used to tie a mean cricket, "blacks and browns"
9 years a go a fleeting carivan took my ability to tie flies away...
talk about no short term memory, if the directions are laying in front of me I have to look back and forth now a dozen times per step...
I have but all given up on mastering flies any more, I still tie them, and yes I fish with rejects, about 99 percent of the time, the other one percent is when some one gives me a flie or I buy one...
Thank god for near sited fish. [angelic] in my case nearly blind sited fish...[shocked][laugh]
I cant even duplicate my own creations... lol... but I still get some enjoyment from it so I keep on picking up feathers... now if I could only remember where I put my fly tieing box I would make me a couple ice flies,,, the guys are already on the lake catching my gills...[shocked]
my lake has some trout in it, wonder what it would take to pull one up from under the ice?
