I finally stopped by my mailbox and there it was, my early christmas present. :clapping:

 

I knew that there was a level of tying that I wanted to reach, properly/perfectly tied, exquisitely detailed flies - now I've got examples to show me that standard. You guys awed me with the quality of these ties. I am going to keep this colony of ants in a shadow box at my tying desk for inspiration and start working on some standard patterns and techniques to increase my skill level. Scuds and shrimp, at the moment.

 

So far, I have been trying to not use too many extra wraps and still don't know how to use a whip finisher yet! :dunno:

I'll have a look at Al Beatty's tutorials to get me going.

 

Thanks for the swap, the flies and the inspiration,

see you in the posts,

Bugcam
