Hello everyone,
After a few years of lurking here on FAOL and making the occasional post I have decided to make my own.

I'm new to fly fishing (going on my third winter now) I finally decided to sit down and "tie" some flies. I have been putting it off for about a year now but yesterday I sat down and with some (alot) help from the huge wealth of knowledge here on FAOL I tied my first.

It was a beadhead nymph from a pattern here in the Fly Archives. I have tied ten thus far and I am keeping them in order as they come out to mark my progress. Each one I tie, I try to improve my methods just a little each time.

Anyways, I just wanted to post and say thanks to everyone here at FAOL and also let you know that there is another "newguy " out there ready to receive the torch from the more experienced generation in hopes of one day passing it on to the next.

Thanks for looking,
Mike
