...I came across this guy Andreas Andersson that is simply amazing at what his ties come out looking like. His videos are a bit lengthy but well worth watching beginning to end. Just thought some of you might like them...Ahrex – Y&O Dahlberg Diver – tied by Andreas Andersson - YouTube your enjoyment.
Lots of good fly tiers out there. I think this is the YouTube channel I came across when I was looking for the Jelly Bean Zonker jig I was going to do. They have it at the top of their YouTube channel page. Different guys there tying and can't find that video now to know for sure. YouTube is a never ending rabbit hole one can get lost in. Actually just found that guys name. Holger Lachmann

Just took a couple of minutes to look at the first one. Pretty much the same technique as Andreas it looks like. A lot of good looking flies on their. I wonder if it would work as well with lead wraps on the shank for weight to get them down to some deeper fish???Quote:

As soon as I get a chance Dave. Been really busy getting things in order around here. Daughter in Pheonix coming in tomorrow, plus the move out there coming up. Still not up to par from surgery. I started physical therapy again, and the first words out of his mouth was, what weight limit the Dr got you set at??? Ummm, last word I got was 15lb for the first thirty days, and nothing further after that. He says, well you got no core strength cause they cut your abdominal muscles, so we gonna work on that. All I can tell you is Everything kicks my tail ALL OVER the place. Short of breath, and weak...Man, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy...Just have to take it slow.Quote:

A mental challenge as well as physical. My prayers continue for you, and I’m riding the same bus just a slightly different path. Be strong!
Skeet, I'm taking it as easy as I possibly can my friend. Momma found out she has a heart valve that's calcified so she's going in the 14th for a heart cathorization to see 1 how bad, and 2 what size valve she needs. Then we find out if they have to do open heart surgery or what. So right now, most everything is falling on me to take care of. So I do what I can do, as I can do, get both of us to appointments, and hopefully it's enough...
Thank you Skeet for the prayers, my friend. Didn't mean to come off the wrong way and ungrateful. I do appreciate everyone on here and all the prayers. I hope your getting better and doing well.
Hate to hear that. Hang in there and take it easy best you can. Heal up and don't risk hurting yourself as Skeetbum mentioned. Continued prayers.Quote:

Any way, they said new hearing aids for me, and then took a mold of my ear canal. still have the power pack behind the ear, but it's supposed to be a slimmer design than my current one. Daughter flew in this morning and is here through Sunday morning. Great having her here. Thats about it...
