Default Some of my first flies

I think I am itching for the rivers to open up just as bad as everyone else. Just started tying this winter and thought I'd share some of my latest ties.

Some very nice ties there, be careful it's addicting. Just noticed the hopper legs, very nice touch!!

Good job BF keep up the good work. You will be thrilled once a fish decides your fly that you tied is good enough for dinner. Then you will be the one that is hooked.

you're going to be a very good tier very quickly if those are your first. Keep it up.

nice flies man, once you catch your first on your own fly its unreal. Now i'd rather catch 3 small ones on my own flies then 5 big ones on a store bought.

Great ties!!! Nice work. You may find the best part is when a big ol' fish smashes one of those flies!
