tompa 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2006 Hello Long time no see I´m afraid things as fly tying has been a little offside since our first son was born 7-8 weeks ago. Some things has fall in between such as tubes for Frank and Damian i.e. But they are coming (actually there´s a funny story in this). Anyway here are some RATS, not my first choiche of fly normally but when it comes to fresh grilse runs they are good catchers in size 4-6 (single). Applause :headbang: to the new "forum" in the forum for us flytyers/flyfishers (ha ha ha ) No really, all respect and cred to the artistic tyers, they carry the legacy on and does it REALLY WELL. But let´s not forget why we were tying in the first place, huh!? One begins to have obligations to family and work and I for one must choose what to spend time on. And I choose chasing for salmonfishing and new salmon beats before hunting down "hard-to-find" fly tying materials. I´m working on some tubes, maybe I qualify to hold a virtual tube class. Always tight lines my friends, always tight lines //Thomas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fully agree with your point about tying flies. The RATs are beautifull. Concerning tube flies my class runs today 10 PM Western Europe time. join if you like Regards Jens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
