ScanticChris 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 I saw some patterns online so decided to try a few things. I ma very new at tying so let me hear your critiques. Any suggestions at all would be great! These are all on some size 26 hooks I had. I tried some foam wing olives, a yelllow floating midge and a fistfull of something called the "Nothing" midge. http://lh5.google.com/image/Christetro/Rbm...JPG?imgmax=1600 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeBillingsley 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 Chris, You're just starting? You didn't start with anything easy, did you? You might want to start out with something you can actually see! They look pretty good to me, what I can see of them! Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beaverfsu 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 Impressive start...you certainly picked a tough size to start with...plus you bought great hooks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScanticChris 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 I started this fall and have slowly been practicing when the kids go to sleep at night. I got the hooks for some BWO's I tied. They had a CDC post wing. THAT WAS HARD!. these are just small. Ill post as I learn more. Thanks for the feedback! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billb 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 Chris: Good work -- I'd have a hard time just seeing the hooks, much less tying on them! Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
