Your welcome and thank you!I started tying for something to do after I quit the stock market and back then there were only a few guys tying jigs. I found it to be a great hobby and just thought it is so much fun and fulfilling at the same time make a person feel better making them. I always want to help more guys get into tying and realize how much fun they could have learning and just getting better and better. I feel like maybe I had a small part in the hobby explosion just because someone saw me doing it and them thinking hey maybe I can do that too if he can. After all it's really not all that hard to tie a jig, but maybe a little practice is needed to really tie great jigs and for sure a lot more if it's flies. Skills start to be needed at some point, lol!

I still enjoy helping guys get started or just giving them some tips to help them along when needed.
