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.
