I've had a house guest in my fly tying room for a while so I haven't been tying. Get this Mike, my Nephew moved his whole family from Hawaii to Fairbanks.

Any way, I have the room back, here's the first fly

A Partridge, Pheasant, Ostrich soft hackle nymph.

Guilty as charged. Do I still get credit for cleaning it?

@Mark Knapp That's an interesting question. I think it's like getting flowers for your wife or girlfriend or SO. If you get them after you've had that knock down drag out they just aren't as effective as if you'd got them for her before you even tussled.  Maybe you get a small bit of partial credit.

Sheesh, Tough crowd. It still took just as much effort. I'd think a guy should get extra credit if he did something for someone else that he wouldn't have done for himself. Like leaving your own house fire to go help a neighbor put out his.😁

Very nice, upstate.  Is that a Lord Baltimore tucked in the middle?  What are you using for the wings and tail?

Some help from my mini me she chose the materials I tied them on. Tied it yesterday.
