Donald, thank you so much for the compliment, just a bit of history on my tying as of February I have been tying for just one year so I guess it is about 16 months. I come from the east coast of Canada(hence the affection with salmon flies).
My main influences in my short period(you may recognize a few) Damian Walsh, Bill Carpan, Danny Ripley, Bryant Freeman,Scott Doncaster and Dwayne Miller. I have also had the privilege of honing my skills in the Beginner Swap on here.

I have not left my comfort zone of Salmon Hairwings but can soon see it coming. Plans include, dubbing seal fur, spinning deer hair, and tubes.

I can only hope I get the help with these techniques as I have gotten with the hairwings.

Thanks again. P.S. A key to my learnings was listening. The Book has been ordered.
