Guest Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I would just like to welcome you to flytyingforum.com! As you can see there is not much going on around here right now, and it is my goal to create a community for people who love tying flies. If anyone has any suggestions or comments about the forum please contact me because I could really use all the help I can get. I plan on adding new forums in the future but I thought it might be good to keep it small until some people start showing up. I appreciate you showing up and hope you like what you see! While your here post a message or two and help me get this thing off the ground. I would also just like to inform everyone that this will remain my personal forum with no ads, pop-ups, banners etc. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will try to attach a picture of one of my Saltwater Flies, as i said i am not a computer wiz kid, but hell the world hates a coward, so here goes. Critique it if you like, I appreciate comments.

Guest Report post Posted August 11, 2003 Man look at the tail on that thing very cool! I love saltwater flies, I think some of them are pretty crazy lookin compared to mostly boring freshy flies. Nice pic too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted August 11, 2003 Joe, on that flatwing - you still have to lighten up on the bucktail; the yellow wing looks way too thick. Did you build in any lavender or pink or blue? - can't see it in the pic if you did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DFix That fly was tied before we had a conversation on the bucktail being tied to full. since then I have reduced the amount of bucktail in both areas, I will post another Flatwing, a little later and you will see the results.

Guest Report post Posted March 29, 2007 I actually remember this post, those were the good old days Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Those days were great. I remember writing that topic just hoping that somebody would visit the site and read it. It was a lonely place on the first day, with just me here by myself! There was only one forum back then, the tying bench and that was it. :hyst: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

camoham 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 glad you were sitting there that one fateful day! if you wouldn't have, where would tying misfits go? ill say it once.........or 1,000 times.............. there really should be a bright blinking disclaimer warning about the possibility of becoming addicted to fly tying; however, if one has found this site, its probably too late. thanx for a heckuva board. camoham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
