Fun tying flies (TR, as it were)
I am curious - what's the title of the *new book*?

Not a question, but just an brief introspective post.
I've passed through some sort of psychological barrier in fly tying, and
suddenly its gone from something merely interesting to something I am
really, really enjoying! As I stated here before, I got this new book, and
after a first glance I thought I might have enough diverse materials so that
I could tie up a few patterns. But now, each night, I really look forward to
trying out all sorts of patterns, and am loving every minute of it.
I've been whipping out very nice replicas in multiple sizes of the standards
(Wolly buggers, GRHE, PTs) as well as Humpies of various colors, Skip
Nymphs, soft hackles, Teeny Nymphs, Adamses, Coachmen, Griffiths Gnats,
RedTails, Baetis nymphs, flymphs and more.
I dunno, its like somthing just clicked, and I just discovered what a great
pasttime tying really is, and wanted to share! Let's have a swap soon!
