Yes, I really tied one on! Not the first time I've tied one on, but it could just as well have been it's been such a long time. It's been more than 20 years since I tied one on! And I did it twice today!
My first flies in more than 20 years! After many months of saying I should, would, could, I did.
I tied one sparkle dun or compara dun and one green scud.
Rick was so patient, encouraging and a great teacher.

I've watched him tie flies for 34 years and I used to tie, so it was like riding a bike. I just need to get the feel for the thread, spinning the fur, dubbing, and especially proportion.
And I'd like to get a magnifier so I can see these tiny fake bugs the size of rice! Just think how good I'd be if I could actually see what I'm doing!
Oh, I know I need lots of practice to be anywhere near as good as Rick is, but he says with practice I can be a good fly tyer.
Lord knows we have enough tying materials for both of us to last a lifetime!
