dogfacedoc 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2020 I'm at work and my wife texted me saying she was bored. I told her she could paint some poppers. She texts a few hours later, showing off this that she tied. She has not tied anything before! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dogfacedoc 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2020 We will have to work on color combos but she definitely has the talent. Watched a YouTube vid on palmering hackle and "I watched you do that thing with your fingers at the end and I just did it" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dogfacedoc 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2020 Got her to follow me through a woolly bugger. Gonna try to get out on one of the warmer days this week and find some bass. I want to see her face when she catches a fish on HER flies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarrellP 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2020 That is amazing. It took me years to get half that good. I'm half that good now! She has a good sense of proportion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DOUG STOUT 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2020 I've taken newbies fly fishing. I would have them tie a foam beetle and a wooly bugger before we started. The excitement they would have to catch a fish on a fly they tied them selves was priceless. They were hooked too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
