What were you doing when you were 12 years old?

This young man, up in Townsend, TN one of Warren's favorite places to slip off to occasionally, is tying some spectacular flies: http://traddsflies.blogspot.com/

I have watched him tie at SowBug.
Very good tier.

If that is the future of flytying, things are in good shape. BTW, when I was 12, the only flies I knew about were the ones I was shagging in the outfield.

I was a late bloomer, I started tying when I was 14.

I didn't start tying until my early 20's. But at 12 I was slogging through creekbottoms morning and night with a trap basket and a. 22 rifle. Through the fall and winter. Started trapping at 10. Summers we're groundhogs and baseball.

When I was 12, I was stuck in this place, in College Park, GA. The only time I ever got out of there was maybe on a weekend pass...Tie flies?Go fishing ? How about marching around all the time or visiting another campus as a member of a sports team...

It must have been tough on you and I bet it was a hard decision made by your mom. To be fulfilled, her gift had to be shared. She was a very pretty and talented actress who made many people happy.
I was fishing, hunting, and playing any kind of sport. My buddy and I trapped muskrat, fox, and coons. Man, getting up at 5 AM and going out in well below freezing temperatures to check our traps, before we went to school, was tough.

It's hard to believe a young guy tying for 2 only years can tie all of those flies that well. He's a natural.

My best friend's son had a learning disability, he was told Woodward was the only place in Atlanta equipped to deal with it. He was among the last youngster to be boarded there, where he graduated and got a degree from Loyola in New Orleans. He is now a successful advertising or marketing (I's not sure which or what the difference is) exec in NYC.
