I really like that wingcase, what is the material??

Dustin

Very nice pics, thanks for sharing those with us!!!!

Dustin

Order ya a small riker box off of ebay, or ya can find em at a photography shop, they are really cheap in price, just stick it in there, and hang it in your tying area!!!

Dustin

Very well put!!!

Dustin

Welcome to FTF, beware, once you start tying, there is no getting out, you will be hooked!!!!!

Im sorry, but this swap has been closed to new tyers for a while now, and I already have half of the flies. But after this one is over I will be hosting another that you are more than welcome to join if you wish. Just keep your eyes opne for it to pop up.

I got dibbs on TB's tying stuff when his wife kills him

Dustin

Mine was the very first one, but that was my old setup and I must say Steve, I agree with ya, I cane match many of those setups to their owners.

That is pretty cool for ideas on how to upgrade.

Dustin

Congrats guys, you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!

Dustin

I would like to thank first my father and grandfather, my dad bought me my first fly rod and a cheapie tying kit when I was 11, and its something that stuck with me every since, I fell in love with fly fishing and fly tying. My grandfather bought me another rod, that was alot nicer for Christmas. Both have helped to fund my hobbie every since, hell they have more money in my gear than I do, but they realize how much passion I have for it, and they know it helps keep me outta trouble.

Second I would like to thank all of you here on the site, for the overwhelming wealth of info and knowledge I have gained as a member here. A few in particular would be Steve, Vito1(Matt) Redwings, and the rest of the gang that was at the PM trip last year, they showed me how to (chuck "n" duck) and they got some enjoyment outta watching me try that for the first time, but I also learned alot about salmon fishing from them as well, and I also learned alot of other neat tips and tricks as well.

I will have to say that the members on this site have taught me so much more than I have ever expected to learn, and have inspired me so much. Also a big thanks to Will for putting up with all of us here and providing such a great place for us all to hang out and learn, my hat goes off to you guys.

Dustin

I have caught them many of times, but I perfer to shoot em with a bow :headbang:
