i started tying flies long before i ever picked up a fly rod (about 15 yrs ago)...i was in 7th grade and my science teacher Mr. Barker started the fly tying club...after my first couple of after school visits i was hooked and did some extra chores around the house to earn a fly tying kit...we learned a couple of basic patterns and after a couple years of tying i started branching off and tying my own patterns trying to mimic the real flies the best i could in my own way...once i got out of high school and started working my time for tying fell short and i drifted away from it only sitting in front of my vise once in a while...now that im starting to get back into it i remember how much fun it is and wounder why i ever stopped
