For the last several years I have been enjoying this web site. During that time I have received advice and picked up some great ideas for my rod building. I was always facinated with the fly tying section and looked it over many time wishing I had the talent that many of you do. My son was always the "tyer" in the family but as sons do - he grew up, got married, and now has a business in the western suburbs of Chicago; I live in Pennsylvania.

About a month ago I decided to take my first fly tying class. I have now combined my rod building room with a tying room and for some reason the it all clicked. I am not where many of the members of this site are experience wise, but I think I have could become addicted to this hobby!
