Thank you. Saltwater flies are fun to tie because the hooks are large, you can use really strong thread, and you are not too worried about an extra thread wrap or two.
When I tie some larger saltwater flies, after all of the little trout stuff, I feel lost, with all that space to fill; takes a while for me to adjust to the different proportions.
