Griff 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 Well both my daughters have been bugging (get it?) me to let them tie a fly. We sat down the other night and they both gave it a try. My oldest did pretty well. My youngest now keeps asking me "When can we do some more hooks"? She even got the rotary tying down well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyfishingtaz 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 Ya gotta love kids who get involved in our hobbies. This here is gonna be a lasting bond for you, and your children. Mines only 7, and has no interest in tying, although she loves the way they look. One plus, is that she loves fishing. Im crossing my fingers and praying that she'll want to tie flies with me some day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisfish 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 griff, thats awsome. your pictures were spied by my middle daughter and spiked her intrest alittle more. every once in a while she gets the bug and ties a few up and after seeing your daughter she was asking me to find a kid swap for her. let me know if you want to do somthing like that and i'd be glad to host it. Great fly your girls are working on by the way. chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
