bugcam 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2006 I finally stopped by my mailbox and there it was, my early christmas present. :clapping: I knew that there was a level of tying that I wanted to reach, properly/perfectly tied, exquisitely detailed flies - now I've got examples to show me that standard. You guys awed me with the quality of these ties. I am going to keep this colony of ants in a shadow box at my tying desk for inspiration and start working on some standard patterns and techniques to increase my skill level. Scuds and shrimp, at the moment. So far, I have been trying to not use too many extra wraps and still don't know how to use a whip finisher yet! :dunno: I'll have a look at Al Beatty's tutorials to get me going. Thanks for the swap, the flies and the inspiration, see you in the posts, Bugcam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
