practice--I HOPE, anyway! Once I get them down pat, or at least where even I

considerably more!

Thanks,

I'll tell you how to get practice and that is to join the fly swap after new
years. That will give you a little pressure and I bet that by the time you tie
enough for the swap you will be tying a pretty good parachute Adams. Then just
tie it is different sizes and colors. I still think of flies as little yellow
or black or green or grey ot brown bugs.

Don't worry about sending me any flies...get someone else hookd on tying flies.
It is something that is fun to do when the weather is too bad for either work
or fishing.
