troy allgood 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 I just wanted to introduce myself, since I just joined the forum. My name is Troy Allgood and I live in St. Anthony, Idaho. I'm 47 and have tied flies since I was about 6. Mike Lawson was my 7th grade woodshop teacher and I've known Rene Harrop and his family my whole life. I look forward to reading and responding to a few posts. Thanks, troy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutnut. 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 nice to meet you troy. I too am new here. I've only been tying for little over 4 years though. I look forward to reading and maybe seeing some of what you tie. Is there anything you find difficult to tie anymore? I from mid-michigan and there are no fish here to be had, I'm sure of it. :bs: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I from mid-michigan and there are no fish here to be had, I'm sure of it. :bs: The hardest fly for me to tie, and tie well, is Rene's no-hackle. He has tried to show me how to tie it, and Mike has tried, to no avail. I can get it pretty well, but nowhere near what those two can do......I need to just put some time in on just tying that pattern. It's all in the feel, I guess, and Rene now has to wear a brace on his left hand from the repetitive stress of years upon years of setting those wings. I can tie a passable version using duck shoulder feathers. troy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
