I went down to Charlies Flybox yesterday to see what he thought of my tying skills. My weakest point it seem is that I jump around when I tie. I can't get myself to tie more than four or five of a pattern before I get bored and jump to something else. Charlie said he wanted to see a dozen of one pattern and they have to be identical. What a test for someone who dabbles about in his tying materials!

  I'd like to think that my fly kit is fairly comprehensive, but it seems that whenever I really look I find big "holes" in my material list. maybe the procurement of  new materials is a never ending quest. So I'm forced to find a pattern that I have enough materials to tie a dozen flies exactly the same! I will be tying the "dozen" in a pattern that I would normally fish in case I get rejected I will at least have some flies for this summers fishing.

 I though I might post some pics of my flybench just for the hell of it.
