Rich The flies arrived today. Thanks to everyone for the great set. They will catch a lot of bass this summer. Only about two months till the opening. Thanks to Rich for the great swap. Tom

Thanks for hosting the swap Rich. I am looking forward to using them. Since we are thoroughly iced over, it will be a while. Tom

Welcome back Noahguide!

Everyone was being very nice, but missed the obvious. Congratulations on your retirement! I hope you have everything worked out so it will run smoothly for you. It is a joy to not have to go out with the crowds. Please post your first retirement fish and first retirement fly. Tom

Greg welcome to the site. You will find many people on here with similar interests. The best icebreaker is to post pictures of flies and participate in swaps.

Big project and you are off to a great start. I agree with Poopdeck that 55-60 seems young.

Welcome to the site Kevin.

Welcome to the site. This is an exceptional site, with a lot of supportive tyers. As you develop your skills, post pictures of your flies. You will find the feedback helpful. Generally you can ask a question and you will get several responses very quickly.

That is a nice batch of 18s

Glad to see your post and am looking forward to seeing more.

I think you win

Fly fishing is on an extended hold in Minnesota. For the next 7 days the warmest temperature we will see is 3.

Welcome to the site. You will find that it is friendly and supportive.

I also primarily use thin. My bottle of thick is several years old and mostly full. I do use it to build up heads or attach heads to flies.

Toothy You have been posting a terrific series of Hendricksons! I hope you have a terrific local hatch. Over the years I hit the peak hatch twice. It was a memorable experience. Tom
