Like a lot of you, I have materials in stackable boxes and plastic drawer bins. I have them organized (sort ot) by what wet fly, dry fly, marabou, feathers such as mallard flank, ronze mallard, guinne (sp?) and such are togather etc, etc. Works most of the time. When buying I have a list of items I find needed to tie certain flies I write it down and when I have an order I do it all at once. Keep refinning until I get it right. That will take a lifetime!

If you are familiar with spey tying fundamentals you can tie just about any fly pattern into a spey. Check out John Shewey's book Steelhead flies also Davie McPhail's you tube videos

Nice work, haven't tried tying in hand. Don't know if my arthritic riddles hands could handle it!

Over the top, it just seemed the natural way to do it.

I have a 8 yr old daughter who tied her first fly (with a little help a few months ago and when I am out in the shop tying she will come out and ask to help. Getting a little spot next to me ready for her. Can't wait to start teaching her to fly fish!

Really nice fly! Every detail is great. I have been working on this type of fly, but not close to this quality.

Some new flies I have been working on. Let me know what you think, what I can do to improve my technique.

NICE!

Excuse me Those are Guinea

The third fly is Patridge
