Unspeakable joy in fooling them on something you handcrafted. It is you who is hooked now. Congratulations my friend.

I am no longer chained to the minnow bucket

Very nice Brett!! Congratulations, no turning back now.

Sounds like you are hooked. Good job. I think it is a jig and not a fly you tied.

I need my own space to tie now.
the dining room table ain't going to cut it
I want to leave my stuff out all the time

I started out on the table then I had a window sill. Fifty years later I have my own flytying room. Im just warning you what can happen. Good luck and keep tying. I will be ona3 day trip for crappie this weekend so I hope to get few like your picture.

It is always great to catch fish on something that you made with your own two hands.

or time...

but if I could leave all my stuff out all the time, it would only take a minute or 3 to make a jig that worked well, but I lost during the day.

Dedicated space you also have to think about it if you have pets! Dogs love feathers!!!!!!!!LOL
