Found a box full of stuff my son had bought several years ago and thought why not, I'll give it a try. This may be something I could get addicted to if I could ever figure out how to do it right. Not the best but not as bad as I was thinking they would turn out. Appreciate any tips on how to make them better.Attachment 415872

Those are some very nice ties
Those look great for first ties! I see nothing noticeable wrong with them. Good job.
Look better than my first ones!

Nothing at all wrong with those. You got the tail length just right which is the first mistake most new folks make. I would have never guess those were your first ties. They look much better than my first ones.
You are doing quite well Grass Hopper. Looks like you've been paying attention to what these guys have been saying. Keep up the good work.
Some of the best advice I got was from Skip. Strive for consistency. You are doing well. Have fun.

Great advice there from MCG1, 20 some years ago I got into a jig swap that wanted 20 jigs tied identical. Took prolly 35 to get there but what a learning experience it was. SKIP is the master at this and I'm quite sure it is from practicing it over and over. Today I can tie that jig in my sleep and it will look the same.:cheers2 Welcome to tying my friend.
Well the party has just begun......very nice my friend.
looks great
They look great. Be very careful, it is addicting. Just ask my wife about all the receipts for tying supplies over the last 2 months.
I think I've read every post, and watched all the videos posted about 20 times each trying to figure it out. Just wanted to try it with waht I had here before I spend any money on supplies. I think im gonna enjoy tying during the evenings. Thanks for the good words, hopefully one day I'll be tying as good as most of yall are.Quote:

Those look very good. As stated above, Repeat, repeat, repeat. It won't take long and those receipt will start coming in...enjoy the adiction my friend. Yes it's addictive, enjoyable and relaxing all at once. Welcome to the world of tying...
You do nice work. Those will catch fish, no doubt. Now you learn the consistency already spoken of and durability. You’re on the right path, welcome to the addiction.
Nice ties for sure.
Keep at it.

Good looking ties for the first time.
Best advice I ever got from Skip was "In tying flies less is more." Those are some good lures that will end up in the mouth of a Crappie.
