I found this site via Fred Hannie site www.realisticflytying.net. I like to saltwater fish primarily sightcasting. I am interested in realistic fly tying as a hobbie. I have been plugging the Texas coast since 1971. Got burned out on blind casting and grinding as we refer to here. I bought a Mitzi 15 tiller poling skiff and joined the Texas Fly Fishers group in Houston. I took there beginners fly tying course and signed up for the intermediate. Casting skills are a work in progress and realize that casting and fishing with long rods are two different things. I got Bob Povovics book " Pop Fleyes" and have been tying some Ultra Shrimp using the www.clearcuregoo.com. I also have been trying the mullet imitation with silicone. So far have not used the epoxy.
I go by Backcast on other boards so may change my board name here.
Tight lines,
Joe
