[Mike Ormsby]

First welcome to FAOL....friendly group here....wood carving as a hobby????....and taking up fly fishing?????.....my suggestion is catch those bluegills and bass with your daughter....take a picture before releasing them....then carve examples of the fish caught.....and maybe your daughter can help paint them with you....any way, welcome....and good to hear you're getting your daughter out with a fly rod

Hey Bart, weclome aboard. I lived in Marietta back before it was part of Atlanta. What part of S. GA do you hail from?

Take care,
Ed

.... and welcome from Eastern Idaho / Western Montana.

A fellow I know here in the Idaho Falls area carves, and then sands and paints balsa wood bodies, and adds the trimmings in the way of hackles and legs for some really interesting and effective warmwater and trout flies.

If your daughter is also into arts and crafts, she might enjoy making those kinds of flies with you.

Hi Bart. Welcome to FAOL from sunny So Cal. There's a fella in my FF club who does outstanding wood carving. He does mostly trout. We are having a fund raiser and he has donated some of his carvings for the raffle. I hope to win one. If you have a camera post some photos of your work. We'd like to see it.
