I finally started to get a hang of it when tying for the FS. I
looked at some of the first flies I tied and compared them to the
later ones. Then I got the razor blade out ... :-)



Careful Chuck. The flies might not come out good, but that's hardly reason
to do yourself harm :-)

Heh. I never thought about how that could be interpreted. :-)

Looking back at my tying for the swap, I'd say it took me about
45-50 flies to get 37 that I'm fairly happy with. Some of the "bad"
ones went directly into my flybox, and I wouldn't be surprised if they
work just fine.

But they aren't pretty enough to stand up to close-up photography.
(As it is, I'm gonna ask Joe to make sure to pick out the nicest one
for pics.) :-}
