Daughter's first ties

[Black Crow]

Wow those are really nice. Great colors and craftsmanship. Those look better than a lot of what I tie. I'd say they'll catch fish for sure. Mighty nice job "Jungle Jane" .

Tell her good job and it looks like she's been tying longer than today for sure. If you get her a vise you should spend a little extra and get her a good rotary.

just give her your old vise...well ill take your old vise and give her mine(whoa id be really up grading)....i think i might hang my hat up and give up the jig tying after this post...her hackle jobs blow mine out the water and i have been tying for awhile...great looking jigs

Nice!! My daughter is 6 and she has tied 2 without my help other than the knot. I love that she has interest in anything I do and fishing is up at the top!! You've got to be one proud pop! Keep her going and make sure to let her make all the color decisions, an outside the "click" view helps cause ya never can tell until it hits the water.

I wanna know how #1 catches em'. I've done very well with the gills on a fly that was pretty close. Tell her I'm watchin' for the next big thing... and don't be stealing her ideas JungleJim!!!

She's just finished her 6th one.Average tie per jig is about 35 minutes.I think she's been looking over my shoulder when I tie.Marabou tail on this one looks long but I'm not saying a word.I do have a spare renzetti that I loaned to a buddy of mine.I may have to get it back.These have a chenille underbody,then she does her thing with two colors over the top.She didn't get that from me.

Really cool that your daughter is showing interest in something that you enjoy. You're blessed.

Those are some really nice looking jigs! Good work.

get that girl a vise and get her into the swaps......she has a natural eye and talent that can only get better........she may just be showing you how to tie one day ( I'd take lessons already).....brim

JungleJim be proud of your daughter and buy her a vice. I know you would rather have her as a fellow jig tier than a competitor. She does good work to be just 17.
