    Ernie,

    Fly tying is a fantastic and rewarding hobby and , to me, a relaxing hobby. Once you learn the basics of fly tying, it will provide you with the talent to create flies that your fish want. Catching a fish on a fly you tied is a great feeling plus using a fly that you created that no one else can walk into a fly shop and find is a good feeling. Pay attention and "soak it up". You are going to love it! Give us a report.

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    Just got back from my first fly club meeting! (Waco Fly Club)
    Really enjoyed it! Had a guest speaker,Les Jackson,did a presentation on
    urban fishing. Got to see some flies being tied, and met some new friends.
    Don't know why I didn't start this earlier in life!

    Anyone can bait a hook and toss a line into the water, but as we know, the artistry of casting a fly is another world. So much so when you can bamboozle a fish into taking something you crafted yourself as part of the food chain. As the old saying goes ... it don't get any better then that!
