You have found your calling Sir, you should be teaching or selling those awesome flies.

Back in BC I used to teach beginner and advanced lessons at the local shop. Also taught casting lessons. 9 out of 10 guys would be casting decent after 1-2 sessions.

I used to sell commercially but the orders were big and by the time I had time to tie for myself I was burnt out. Ill stick to doing smaller orders. I have many customers that put in small orders every year and have been doing so for 10 or more years.

Very nice Troutbug. Is there any weight tied in them? I have used flies very similar to the top one with very good success.
