      I get a good feeling when I tie a fly but some like drys and terrestrial give me a feeling of accomplishment when they turn out the way they should. Something they don’t always do. What do you like tying?

      I love it when I tie as small soft hackle and DON’T crowd the eye!

      I like to tie the flies that I use and WORK! Some are small and some are more than 6 inches long (Musky flies). But when I haven’t tied a certain fly in awhile I always give myself three ties before I feel good about each fly. Keep a single edge razor blade on your tying desk and remove the material and start again if it isn’t “right”. I also will keep the old flies that are torn up,  use the razor blade and use the hook again.
