Bring em on. Check the sticky's at the top of the page, they're a big help.
I wish I could give you lots of good advice, but I am not anywhere near the craftsman that you will find on here. I did tie up some bream flies to give my sons for Christmas. They seemed to like them and I think the bream will too. The two styles that I did for them were the foam spiders (floating) and the Bully Bluegill Spiders (sinking). I need to get busy tying some for myself. Hope to add some different varieties as I go along. Good tying and fishing.
Congrats on getting your tying vice for Christmas. It's a never ending habit, get use to saying "I need to order" :D:).
or i need i need..man i need this or i need that...
Stump thats me to robert at least 2 times a week lol
Who ever gifted it may regret it but you will have alot of fun. As far as questions thats what we are all in here for. To help and give opinions on what works and what don't. Read the stickys at the top and DON'T fail to ask questions no matter how stupid they sound. The only stupid question is the one that isn't ask. BTW we don't bite thats for the fish so visit often and welcome.

Hey thats great, will be great fun after you start , lots of great guys on this site to help you out, what kind did you get ?
Like has been said read all the stickies on tying jigs, and if you get stuck ask away we're all glad to help.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it. First off, pay attention to proportions and take your time! Anybody can knock out jigs that'll catch 3 or 4 fish and then fall apart... GOOD jigs are durable and somewhat uniform.
i got a white river tying kit video with lefty krech.thanks for the stickies idea gonna help me alot.
Here are two excellent books. You didn't say what you're going to be tying, but these cover all the basic trout flies.Quote:

crappie jigs is what im trying to tie.the video that came with it is for bass flys.got my table set up today.think ill have to bring the table out here by the computer,so i dont have to run from my room to the computer and back again to learn this.havent even made one yet and im hooked.
Then I would ignore those books I recommended since they're fly tying only. Bass Pro has a jig tying video that is excellent, and there are tons of tying videos on Youtube.Quote:
