made it home over the weekend and got mine. Not sure whose they are, they came in a football shaped tin and look great. Thanks for hosting!

I won't be home for a couple of days so I'll have to use my imagination.... kind of like Christmas.

Cool, Thanks.

I'd like to join. How about a Copper John variation?

Thanks guys, the craw is a prototype...haven't fished it.

Heading to the post office now with these......

Mine will be going out shortly. Do you want each fly toe-tagged or just the recipe for each pattern?

I like the gurgleheads.

That's it, my buddy calls it the pin. Thanks guys!

Does anyone have a recipe for the Pickett Pin?

My wife had no idea this was going on! Once I showed her she was glad that the microwave was clean.

Strings of small Christmas lights that have gone kerflooey are made up of thin gage stranded copper wire. Just part the coating and pull, then unravel the strands. I have been using it for rib material. It's size seems to be of correct proportion on smaller hooks.

Cool, thanks!

I'm new to tying so I really don't have any "Go To" patterns, but would like to be in if you approve.

Very Nice!

I posted a few of these the other day in the wrong place but the pictures were fuzzy. I used the microwave as a photo "tent" for these pictures, came out a little clearer. Obviously I didn't have the micro turned on.

Thanks guys, I will be trying some out this weekend. I need to stop and get a few materials to tie some minnow and crawfish patterns, then see if I can get a smallmouth to take one.

Need to work on photo quality but here are the first flies I have tied.

About 40 miles North of Pittsburgh, wish I would have known about the show sooner. I have been doing the same Roy G. So far I have been able to solve my problems with a search through this website. I am anxious to get out and try some of my first flies. This morning after a couple of hours reading through the forum I decided to check the neighbors pond to see if there was still ice on it....there was. I figured catching a few bluegills would boost my confidence. Instead i walked home and practiced casting. Can't wait till the weather breaks!

Hello everyone. I finally decided to post, been lurking for a couple of weeks and have picked up some good pointers. I am new to fly tying and would like to post some pics of my first flies to gain some feedback. Also just ordered Hatches and looking forward to receiving it. Great site! Thanks
