I've been tying flies and taking pictures, just haven't been posting them. I just finished up a box for my niece and her husband. They moved to Vermont from South Dakota, and mud season should be over up there by now. Gave them the box to take back with them when they came down a two weeks ago for my sister's retirement celebration. These are the dries from the box, kept it pretty generic, nothing to fancy.
