Fun tying flies (TR, as it were)

I have the book, as well as others, and I think it's the best of the
bunch.

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!

I am curious - what's the title of the *new book*?

"The Fly Tying Bible" by Peter Gathercole. I posted about it on roff.
