    Default I'm back after a long break ..


    Well I took break for awhile to hone my tying skills on a fly tying site I like it there alot also there are more swaps there to keep me busy.. I have made a move from Tacoma Washington to Spring Valley Wisconsin where its a little more crappie friendly so I will be around a little bit more .. I have gotten bit by the trout bug though because I have a spring run trout creek 300 feet from back door and I have wheelchair access to it I see a fly rod in the near future..lol

    Nice looking tie! I learned my tying from flitting sites and feel it gave me a lot that I would have never know about. I learned the language better there and after all they tie in materials the way they should be tied in! I think you did yourself a huge favor by doing that!

    Are you in a wheelchair? Didn't know that if so.

    Hey also just because you are now hot on the trout trail please stick around and show us your ties!

    Oh and if your doing a lot of flies you really should learn Rope-dub tying! Here is a link to the guy that knows more about this than anyone. He can do most anything with this and says it's faster and better his way. I have his first DVD for Rope-dubbing and love it and he told me he was doing a second DVD that I want when he does it. I just have been so busy with other tings I still have not been able to do enough of it to be proficient at it yet and it's been 5 years that I have had that DVD, lol! I am about to take it on again though and will try to guide my tying in that direction! He really went out of his way to help me with this and I taught him how to take pictures of FL Colors Fluorescing, lol! We became friends over time.

    Good work there. I could seriously hurt some southern gills with that bug!

    But mostly, Welcome Back!! I wondered where you had gotten off to.
