I bought the Lefty Kreh Saltwater fly tying kit from Basspro...I'm seriously hooked. I tied two clousers...man I had fun. I can't wait to tie some more! --127-3-

It gets even better when you catch something on a fly you have made. --125-3

I'm looking forward to it! I gave my first fly to a kid who is into fly fishing, he loved it. I'm going to work on a collection for the spring.

And (as I found out last winter), its SOOOO much cheaper than buying flies (#$119)

I tied two really nice flys, the third looked like a 5 year old tied it!

dONT WORRY ABOUT AN UGLY FLY, FISH NEVER CARE ABOUT IT AS LONG AS IT LOOKS YUMMY.
KEEP PRACTICING, TIE NOT ONLY SALTWATER PATTERNS, THOUGH THIS HELPS A LOT ON HANDLING MATERIALS LIKE BUCKTAIL, SADDLES AND CLEAN HEADS.
TRY TROUT FLIES ALSO, HOW TO TIE NYMPHS, DRY FLIES, MUDDLERS, BUGGERS ETC..,AS THEY ARE SMALLER YOU'LL GET GOOD AT DETAILS THIS WILL PAY OUT IN LARGER FLIES.
GOOD ADVISE, TRY TO TIE A CLOUSER CRAYFISH, NOT AN EASY ONE BUT SEVERAL TECHNICS ARE INVOLVED IN THIS ONE, WILL HELP A LOT WITH MATERIAL AND THREAD CONTROL.
KEEP TYING :)

Ha ha, that's a good one! I'll start my own bluefish bag...

You should see the squid fly I tied from the patterns in the database...looks like someone snuck up on it and scared it!
