What a great start to the month. Thanks to everyone for posting. Tom

Welcome from Minnesota. This is a very supportive website. One of the best ways to improve your skills is to participate in the fly swaps. We encourage all people to post pictures of the flies they tie. Like I said, you will find that people are supportive of what you post. Tom

Kevin, It is great that you are back! Have you been fishing and tying? You were a wonderful tyer and I have missed seeing your flies. You were very kind and helpful, getting me to understand articulated flies. I also appreciated our talks about my transitioning into a grandfather. My grandson is now five and I gave him his first fly casting lesson this summer. He has set a goal for himself to do a float trip for smallies when he is seven with guides Stu or Eric. Next summer we will put more effort into it. Welcome back! Tom

I ordered supplies for musky lures yesterday from Lure Parts Online yesterday at 10:30 am. They ship from their Illinois warehouse and it arrived this morning in Minneapolis at 11:45. Speedy Delivery did a great job. My wife, however ordered something from LL Bean and tracking shows it arrived in Minneapolis on 11/25 and the tracking says it had a “sortation” problem and the package is in Charlotte, NC. I could walk to the UPS distribution center and pick it up by now.

This is a month with so many terrific ties. Thanks to everyone for tying and posting. Tom

Troutguy, That is a beautiful Damascus knife! Tom

Steve, That is a terrific looking rod!

Norm, That Jay is conceptually constructed well and tied beautifully. Tom

Beautiful work George! Nice to see you tying again.

Mark It is great to see you tying and posting again. Is there a timeline for forging those great knives again? Tom

I was trying to delete a double post by Troutguy and ended up deleting the whole thread. My first action as a moderator was a disaster. I am sorry to all those this has impacted. Now I am paranoid about any action I take. Tom ps. Troutguy had posted some beautiful work!

Please keep posting more of those great pictures. Tom

Nice tying everyone! Tom

TJ Thanks for all you do! I hope you will post some pictures in the future. Tom
