Well I do a lot of things left handed, and I cast my fly rod left handed. It would of been nice to start out as a leftie tyer...but I had to watch videos of right handed tyers, and I would of just been confused...so I learned to tie right handed. Had I seen this book earlier, I may of changed my mind...but now it is cemented into my brain to tie this way. I have been tying for a year and a half or so.
