Hey Todd,

Hope Santa took care of ya and got you going on tying. I have been teaching my six year old daughter how to tie for the past two week's. a fly a day and if we miss a day she hounds me to make'm up, she's going to have a huge fly box by the time spring hit's!!!! (at this rate anyway)

Cheer's

Todd, were you able to hook up with MVFF, I know their entry level tying class starts soon? I am still considering taking their advance class that starts on the 17th.

Hey Todd,
A fellow Mad Man here, I fish up around west Liberty mostly (I did fish Urbana in October,if you go to the Mad Men web site You can see Tom Allen with a nice brown, I took the picture).
There's nothing like Making a fly and going out and catching a fish on it, its part of the attraction for me. tying is not as difficult as it might seem. I recommend spending as much as you can afford on a Vice!!! working on a fly for hour's only to have it slip out of the vice at the finish will drive you insane(the fly will never be the same again)I like a pedestal instead of a clamp on (you can put a pedestal on any table not true with the clamp on)after that a few hooks, feathers and fur and you rolling your own. Here is a site that might help www.flyanglersonline.com
