Hi All,
My close friend is planning to give his son, now working and married, a fly rod for Christmas (at least one), and knowing him it will likely be a Winston, or something similar. I have fished with both of them many times, and they live a long way away. At any rate, the son is like a nephew to me and my wife. He has been a spin fisherman, but has been fishing with a fly rod for several years.
His dad and I have fished only with fly rods for probably the past 10 to 15 years or so and his son is improving on his fly fishing.
At any rate, the son is going to get a set of flys to go with the rod, but will not get them until it is time to start fishing. His dad is tying nymphs, and I am tying the dries. I have primarily finished the caddis flies, and have just started on Wulffs, with stonefly dries to follow. After that I will be working on a set of bluegill dry flies for him, foam spiders, a few small poppers, etc.
Regards,
Gandolf
