Hello folks. Name is Dan, from Auburn, Placer County, CA. Looking forward to learning about some of the new tricks in tying and neat materials available now, after 20+ years away from the endeavor. Hadn't planned on it being that long, but there you go. After hip replacement surgery in July I figured what better time to get back into tying, so for the last month and some have been working out the kinks. I'm finding it is NOT like riding a bike; not for me anyway. So ladies and gentlemen, I'm thrilled to now be in the company of the many, MANY talented fly tiers, fly fishers and outdoor enthusiasts as I know I'll find here. Thanks ahead of time for the info I expect to be soaking up like a sponge, starting...NOW! Best regards and Tight Lines to All. Dan D.
