Contest: entries for cleanest tying station

This used to be a closet…actually it’s fairly organized…

That’s actually a great idea. I want to know how many bobbin holders you have…

Too many to count…can’t seem to pass up those tie racks…lots of uses…BTW could you make out the Jvice in all that backround?

I could. Looks fantastic! What is the printed photo on the lower left? Looks like a mayfly nymph?

Ok, here’s a picture of my fishing room.

I tie at the desk in the far left hand side of the room. All of the drawers in the desk are filled with fly tying materials, while the rest of my tying materials are in the closet at the far right. The closet has shelves pretty much from floor to ceiling.

Pretty clean looking, huh? Now, do I win, or loose?

Well, you’re certainly breaking out in front, you anal one you. Unless someone beats you, you will be receiving the “prize”.

At the risk of a highjack but you the originator asked:D…it’s actually a golden stonefly nymph that I thought was a little different…here’s a link in case you are interested…

Wow John. Just wow, love that stained glass, real classy look.

How bout a shot of your rig in use?

Never quite understood the “sin” of a bit off topic question or comment. Seems it often leads to valuable information and discussion

Agree…

John,

Although, you may be DQ’d as you haven’t shown us the “cram everything into the desk and then close the roll top” roll top desk…
Just saying…

Okay. Okay! You guys are killing me!

So, here’s a picture of how my desk looks right now, and has for the past few days while I’ve been been working on a new articulated streamer pattern. (I took the other picture a bit earlier.) My tying desk is actually a slant top secretary’s desk. The top was up in the earlier picture, and here it’s open when I tie flies.

The flies that I’ve been tying recently are articulated streamers about 5" - 6" long.

And here’s a picture of my best friend, with one of the trout he caught on a similar streamer I had tied the last day we fished together on the Yellowstone this past September. In 2 days fishing, he landed about 30 trout on that streamer pattern, the majority of which were over 17". This rainbow was 21" as I recall. (The haze in the background was from the fires in the mountains shown in the background.)

You have to be an accountant"…"…so anal, but it may pay off in this case!!

Wow, thats got to be a winner. Everything inside the desk is even the same color.

So true…good one…it will be hard to beat…that’s got to be worth points.

If nothing else, John gets …

… the marketing award. :wink:

Here are some pictures of my desk for the contest. I think the 22 years in the military has had some effect on me. What do you think?


And one to show that it isn’t just another pretty desk.

Scott,
Thanks for your service. And, yes, the First Sergeant would be proud!!
