Greybeard,
Welcome to the family! Pull up a chair and set a spell. Many, many good folks here. We look forward to hearing from you often. Always glad to have new input.

I've recently decided to give the EP Minnow a try, and have been trying to get them sparse enough. I need to invest in some 3D eyes to make them look better.

I was able to get in on the "Christmas Box" At FlyTyersDungeon.com .
Some great materials. And a lot of materials for 29.00 (including shipping). Now I just have to learn how to use all of them.

Also tying the usual suspects, various nymphs and gurglers, spiders and wee wets.

I'm looking forward to getting on the water more in 2009. We'll see how that works out.
