I agree with Clay. I have my first flies. A Woolly Bugger, San Juan Worm, and a beadhead partridge and herl. The last one is the one that really hooked me on tying flies, but I kept all three. Keep those. Mine make me smile, too.

Since then, I have fed dozens of flies to trees, bushes, the opposite bank, etc. When I finally caught fish instead of everything else around me on flies I tied, I kept those, too.
