Those of you that are friends on facebook, I've got some pics of my early flies. I started out simple enough. Egg pattern. Now I'm tying princes and possie buggers. Pics of the possie bugger to come. Wow, how time flies when your tying flies... Dave well, I’m hooked! not only on fly fishing but now fly tying. Those of you that are friends on facebook, I’ve got some pics of my early flies.

Those warnings have not gone unheeded. I just welcome these new challenges with an open mind and welcome them with as much knowledge as I can gain before I pursue them! I figure, the more I learn, and the more I know will make my endeavors more productive. Oh and trust me.. I am chomping at the bit to tie my very first abomination. Dave Rebecca,

No idea why considering my height. I guess when they were passing out genes I said, NO! No height for that one, instead give her the fly tying gene ;-) I've loved the flies you've tied so far and can't wait to see what else you whip up with your newfound skills!

It's olive string that perhaps I wrapped many, many, many times that recoiled into the perfect coif~ @Dave It's contagious!

At the moment, it's all on Kaitlyn and if she figures out the perfect steelhead fly, I'll make sure everyone knows about it~ @Austin Good credit! I promise! You were the inspiration that got Kaitlyn and I going. Just because I'm like the bull in the china shop with flies doesn't mean Kaitlyn is. She's been pouring over your site. I want to see the crap jar! @Cliff agreed, which is why I'm going to leave it in a shadow box or something~ @Ken Whippersnapper loves that idea!

Come on Mom! I'm not that short, for my generation anyway. You should see the sevies at my school, most are a head shorter than me.

I will keep tying flies, it sure is fun. ~Kaitlyn Short like one of Santa’s Elves. . . . Come on Mom! I’m not that short, for my generation anyway.

My first dozen flies looked more like a Yeti with mange than an Adams. You can do it. Just remember to breathe and remember this is fun. 3) If the Whippersnapper gets any good, I may outsource to her. 1) Thanks for the credit (I think).

One, they would probably all look like your unpictured San Juan Worm and two, being showed up by a Whippersnapper, hum.... Although, I do like the idea of her tying and you selling. An Entrepreneurial Enterprise if I ever saw one. I also agree with Kirk, maybe the next hot Steelhead fly. I'm still trying to find one that works.

That is why we have children! To do the things we cannot or to do the things we no longer have the patience to learn, or to do the things we no longer wish to do. Kirk said it best. "indentured servitude" I'm sure Dee Snyder would love that fly (dunno if he's much of a fly fisherman). But seriously, Kirk may be on to something here. That may be the next intruder or moal leech! who knows until you fish it! Well, I have finally succumb to the pressure. In a few days I will begin tying my very own abominations. Maybe I'll have a pic or two of my first abominations on my Facebook. Everything else goes there.. Why not! Good luck with "Santa's Elf" and your coveted hand-tied flies!

But don't let it stop you. I've made some nice flies since then. Keep on Keepin' on or whatever they say....and remember.

I'd fish that Twisted Sister- looks to me like it would have lots of action swinging in the current. Tie it on a size two hook and you may have the next, hot steelhead fly. Tie it to the end of a sink tip and let it sail at the end of your Spey rod, which is, of course, next on your horizon! As for indentured servitude of your young fly tier, why not? Most of the flies commercially tied overseas are done so in a similar arrangement. I think you’re onto something much bigger than you may realize: A New Fly.
