Nice!! Merry Christmas.
Hey that's really good fun t your fist ones, mine I don't think we're that good. Back then we didn't have the videos and all the easy to find info that's out there now. I just had no real clue, LOL! It's funny now, but then I was so disappointed and had to dig in to learn from fly tying sites for the most part.
Just have fun and enjoy the hobby and it will pay you back so many times!

Thanks guys, the whip finisher is still giving me a headache even though it is a simple tool. Merry Christmas everyone gonna head out and see if I can't hang into a few.
Great start in a wonderful hobby.
You have a PM!Quote:

I like your ties. The blue yellow should be a killer jig.
Great looking ties.
like em! Think tying em's fun, Just wait till you catch a big slab on one!
look darn good to me for first run .....
I need to upload some more pics it only took about 10 heads in to get exactly what I was looking for. I have a quick question, Does anyone think it would hurt if i went with a #2 hook on a 1/16th instead of the #4 I'm using now?
Some may think different and probably do like a #2 in a 1/16, but I personally feel a #4 not only looks better, but better size fits better for me. Also if you want to have a chance of getting one back if hung up, that #2 is pretty stout wire. I do have some 1/8 with a #2 Sickle, but I still use a #4 most of the time.Quote:

Yeah I'd rather get them back which has me contemplating on going with light wire hooks next. I fish from the bank on my home lake when it gets to winter pool I'm fishing a channel that is just off of a mud flat and there are a lot of stumps. Bad thing is this place stays loaded with fished every year and is across the river from a boat ramp (my walk in is about a mile or so down a steep hill) and the guys in boats just roll on by.
Fine ties out of the chute!!
