MOturke,

Just read your story and loved it!! Very well put and brought back memories from when I started tying some 10 years ago. I, like you, do not like to sit and tie just one pattern over and over. I will tie at least a half doz. of a pattern that is working for me to put in my fly box or by the doz. if I am tying them for the local fly shop or someone special. Great job and enjoy FAOL. Good people here. Have a great Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
